5 reasons why Roman Reigns defeated Goldberg at Elimination Chamber

#2. The title remains with a full-time WWE Superstar

Lately, the biggest complaint that fans have had with WWE is its reliance on part-timers. Superstars like Brock Lesnar and Goldberg have won Universal titles in the past and rarely show up due to their part-time schedule, thus lessening the title's value.

However, this criticism has come to a haul since Roman Reigns got his hands on the title. Not only has he held the title for 500+ days, but he has hardly missed any programming since winning the belt.

Roman Reigns has retained his Championship gold against Goldberg because it seems like WWE has realized that fans don't like part-timers as Champions and would instead want them to see them fight in a non-title scenario.

#1. Reigns' Universal title reign could not have ended like that

As earlier mentioned, The Tribal Chief has held the title for quite a long time. It is a historic title reign and has embedded Roman's name as one of the greatest Champions of all time.

With such immense significance, it would have been a disgrace had he lost his title to Goldberg at the Elimination Chamber. Though the Hall of Famer is a legit superstar to dethrone Reigns, their match at Chamber had no buildup whatsoever.

Thus, it was best that Roman Reigns' monumental title reign didn't come to an end in a random match with little to no buildup.
