Back in 2017, the then-WWE boss Vince McMahon made a controversial booking decision on Kevin Owens, which cost him the Universal Championship. It was exactly eight years ago, on March 5, 2017, at the Fastlane Premium Live Event, where The Prizefighter lost the title to Goldberg in 22 seconds.
It was a feud that was created after the two superstars took a shot at one another on X/Twitter. Kevin Owens had already defended his title against Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman and had to beat Goldberg to retain his title on The Road to WrestleMania.
The WWE legend, meanwhile, had come back a few months earlier and had defeated Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016 before eliminating The Beast Incarnate at the 2017 Royal Rumble.
