Anyone who was worried that Goldberg might take the Universal Title away from Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown should breathe easy. If WWE's typical booking formulas are any indication, then Goldberg hitting a Spear on Wyatt's 'Fiend' to close out this week's SmackDown means he won't be taking the belt in Saudi Arabia.

Hopefully.

Glendale was pumped up to see the WCW legend make his latest comeback, and Bill himself always seems so happy to get a positive reception. Like his occasional cameos for these Saudi jaunts or not, Goldberg does have natural charisma that some on the full-time roster could learn from, and he still a big star who carries weight.

WWE didn't give too much away on SmackDown. They had Goldberg cut his promo, Wyatt interfere via 'Firefly Fun House', his 'Fiend' show up and Bill tear through him with one move. That's all this segment needed to be, and it's even better that it hints towards a 'Fiend' win on Thursday.
