WWE Crown Jewel 2019 is perhaps best remembered for The Fiend Bray Wyatt capturing the Universal Championship for the first time.

Earlier in the month, the Universal Championship Hell in a Cell match between Seth Rollins and The Fiend ended in a No Contest at the Hell in a Cell event. The match was widely panned and criticized by the WWE Universe for its bizarre and illogical booking.

Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.

A Falls Count Anywhere rematch between Rollins and Wyatt was later announced for Crown Jewel. However, a stipulation was announced that referee could not stop the match for any reason.

The closing moments of the match saw Rollins hit The Fiend with a superkick, sending Wyatt off the stage and onto electrical equipment, causing the equipment to catch fire.

However, The Fiend magically rose from the wreckage and hit Sister Abigail onto Seth Rollins to win the match and the Universal Championship for the first time.

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg announced his desire to once again get back in the ring on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown in February 2020.

The former WCW star stated that he never received a rematch for the Universal Championship after losing the title at WrestleMania 33. So Goldberg challenged Bray Wyatt to face him for the Universal title at Super ShowDown, to which "The Fiend" accepted.

At the event, the two superstars began their match with a staredown. Goldberg quickly hit The Fiend with four spears, with Bray Wyatt kicking out for a shocking near fall.

Goldberg then managed to power out of The Madible Claw and hit the Jackhammer, shockingly defeating Wyatt in under three minutes to capture the Universal Championship for the second time in his career.

This marked The Fiend's first loss since the debut of the character in 2019.
