Seth Rollins has weighed-in on Goldberg’s surprise victory over “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at WWE Super ShowDown on Thursday.
The WWE Hall of Famer produced an upset to claim the title of Universal Champion for the second time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
After a number of early spears, Goldberg sealed the victory with a Jackhammer to strip The Fiend of his title.

“If only I had pulled out the Jackhammer…” the Monday Night Messiah tweeted on Friday after watching his former conqueror lose his crown.
Rollins enjoyed success of his own at the Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia.
In one of the most anticipated matches, the 33-year-old and Murphy defended the Raw tag titles against the popular Street Profits.
And Rollins said afterwards that the victory sent a strong message to their other Raw rivals.
Nodding to their belts, he told WWE : “These are a symbol of progress and a symbol of us making headway when it comes to my vision of Monday Night Raw and the people’s vision.
“The message is clear – if you stand in the way of progress you will be eradicated. Just ask the Street Profits.”
Elsewhere, The Undertaker picked up a massive win on his WWE return as he triumphed in the Tuwaiq Trophy Gauntlet.
The Deadman hadn’t been seen in a WWE ring since an episode of SmackDown in September but flew out to Saudi Arabia to make a surprise appearance.
He had not been advertised as part of the card but took out Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson backstage before sealing victory with a chokeslam on AJ Styles.
