Top 5 matches and moments from Night 1 of WrestleMania 36

#5 WWE Universal Championship Match: Goldberg vs. Braun Strowman

Goldberg vs. Braun Strowman

Goldberg won the WWE Universal Title after he defeated 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia. Roman Reigns appeared the following night and accepted Goldberg's challenge to a title match at WrestleMania. This was the scheduled match and would've been a dream match between two Superstars from different eras.

However, due to coronavirus pandemic, the match between Goldberg and Reigns didn't happen. Reigns posted an Instagram video and explained that he isn't competing at this year's WrestleMania. WWE didn't give any explanation and just announced on SmackDown that Goldberg would now defend the Universal Championship against Braun Strowman at WrestleMania.

As expected, this was an action-packed match as Goldberg avoided a Running Powerslam and delivered three straight spears but only for Strowman to kick out. Goldberg hit another spear, called for the Jackhammer but Strowman broke free and hit three straight powerslams. Strowman delivered a Running Powerslam and won the Universal Championship.

This was the perfect length match as both Goldberg and Strowman worked hard. I don't mind seeing Goldberg wrestle but he doesn't need to be champion. This was also a nice moment for Strowman as he finally won his first world title.
