WWE really had something with The Fiend, but they could never figure out how to book him. They botched him finally winning the title, which happened at Crown Jewel 2019, and then there was this mess.

Fiend had been portrayed as a near-indestructible horror movie villain, so naturally, the hero, 53-year-old Goldberg, ran through him in 3 minutes with a series of spears and a sad-looking Jackhammer. The part-timer, who had last wrestled six months earlier and a couple of months before that nearly hospitalized Undertaker, effectively killed off any remaining mystique surrounding the Fiend in yet another embarrassing match in Saudi Arabia.

Fiend would get a bit of redemption with the well-received Firefly Funhouse Match against John Cena at WrestleMania 36, while Goldberg dropped the title to Braun Strowman at Mania.
