There was a lot of controversy around the decision surrounding Goldberg defeating The Fiend in Saudi Arabia. Many said it was only done so that there would be a Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns match at WrestleMania, where Reigns would not take the heat for pinning The Fiend and would be cheered once he defeated Goldberg after a heated contest.
Not only was there no crowd at WrestleMania 36, but there was no Roman Reigns either. And thus logically, the man who would replace Roman Reigns in the contest would then become the favorite to win the match.
Braun Strowman took up this coveted spot and as one would suspect, went on to defeat Goldberg in a move that shocked many, considering that he dropped the Intercontinental Championship to Sami Zayn not long ago. No offense to Sami Zayn, but let's just say that he is not quite Goldberg when it comes to being protected, and for Strowman to pick up such a shocking win soon after is why this article is essentially being written.
