WWE SmackDown: 5 Reasons why Universal Champion The Fiend is Goldberg's next opponent

Goldberg and The Fiend will clash in Saudi Arabia next!

#1 A younger man to carry the match

With all due respect to Goldberg, who is one of the greatest of all time, he was never exactly Kurt Angle in the ring at any point in time in his career. And I'm talking about the peak of his career when he was doing this full time, unlike today when he returns occasionally for a big payday.

If the match has to last for over 5 minutes, it will need a younger man to carry it. We all remember the debacle that was Goldberg vs. The Undertaker in Saudi Arabia which wasn't really a very memorable match at all.

Bray Wyatt also has a very easy finisher that Goldberg can take if the plans include The Fiend standing tall as the Universal Champion. The Mandible Claw is something that Goldberg can take with the utmost ease, as compared to say, a Roman Reigns spear that he may not be able to sell effectively.

I don't know about you, but I am pretty excited about the match myself.
