In one of the most controversial moments of 2020, Goldberg destroyed "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in under three minutes to win the Universal Championship for the second time in his illustrious career. The win came off a poorly executed Jackhammer and four devastating Spears.

The legend made history that night by becoming the first person to win a World Championship after he had already been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

But the WWE Universe wasn't delighted with the outcome, as many fans believed that "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt had been buried by this outcome. At the time, the Hall of Famer received a lackluster crowd response after he pinned Wyatt.

Upon his awe-inspiring debut at SummerSlam 2019, The Fiend quickly became one of the most beloved characters in recent memory. With this compelling gimmick, Wyatt had finally found his footing on the main roster. Even though he regained momentum at WrestleMania 36 by defeating John Cena, his loss at Super ShowDown caused seemingly irreparable damage.

The Fiend versus Goldberg may not be a fresh dream match now, but it should happen. A rematch would give Wyatt another chance to redeem himself, and Vince McMahon could rectify his previous mistake by giving Wyatt his win back. That way, WWE can once again establish The Fiend as an unstoppable monster.

At WrestleMania 30, Wyatt lost to Cena, but the former Universal Champion redeemed himself with an emphatic victory six years later. WWE could follow a similar path with Wyatt and Goldberg.
