As a match, this was nothing. But as a moment, it was quite the deal.

After dominating Brock Lesnar twice, Goldberg managed to land a WWE Universal Championship match against Kevin Owens, who had held onto the strap for six months as the second-ever champ.

Owens pledged to not fall victim to Goldberg’s sudden offense, but KO did one major thing wrong: He had turned on his former best friend Chris Jericho in dramatic fashion, who got payback at Fastlane. Just as the match was about to begin, Jericho came out, distracting Owens, who then turned around as the bell rang and walked into a spear.

One Jackhammer later, Goldberg was a world champion in WWE for the second time in his career, with 13 years between title reigns. It provided a pretty cool moment for Goldberg, and it set up a colossal clash for the Universal Championship a month later.
