The 'Monster Among Men' conquered Goldberg to win the Universal Championship
In what was a rather surprising turn of events, Roman Reigns pulled put of WrestleMania 36 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, WWE decided to replace the ‘Big Dog’ with Braun Strowman in the Universal Championship match against Goldberg. What happened next took the entire WWE Universe by surprise.

The ‘Monster Among Men’ squared off against Goldberg in a short match. Initially, the latter hit Strowman with three spears before trying to pin him. But Strowman was not ready to give up just yet. He went on to change the entire direction of the match when he found a way to stand up even after being on receiving end of four deadly spears.
A determined Strowman then subjected Goldberg to four Powerslams that allowed him to pin the champion and win the Universal title. It was an unexpected finish but Strowman has proved himself worthy of a dominant title reign for a long time.
Hopefully, the creatives will make the best use of this opportunity and allow the ‘Monster Among Men’ to have an unforgettable run as the Universal Champion in WWE.
