Ranking Every Universal Championship Title Change From Worst To Best
12. Goldberg Wins The Title From 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt
In one of the most shocking moments in pro wrestling history, a 53-year-old Goldberg (who could not even execute his finisher properly) defeated the most protected Superstar on SmackDown to win the brand's most sumptuous prize. When 'The Icon' squashed Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam, it seemed like he would never come back to the squared circle.
However, Vince McMahon's desire to have a 'Battle of Spears' at WrestleMania 36 compelled the former WCW wrestler to return. 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt was the hottest thing on Friday nights, and given the way he beat Daniel Bryan in a stellar bout at Royal Rumble, very few fans expected him to drop the title ahead of the 'Showcase of Immortals.'
Unfortunately, Roman Reigns could not perform at the 'Show of Shows', and the move to put the championship on the Hall of Famer proved to be a total flop. His reign lasted just for 37 days before Braun Strowman pinned him in one of the most random world title bouts ever.
