WWE WrestleMania 36: 3 reasons why Roman Reigns must beat Goldberg

Roman Reigns challenged Goldberg to a Universal Title match at WWE WrestleMania 36 on the episode of Friday Night SmackDown after Super ShowDown, and here’s why he absolutely must win the upcoming bout.

Goldberg’s Universal Championship triumph over Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia was poorly received by wrestling fans, which was the response Vince McMahon undoubtedly expected. Someone like Goldberg winning the title was bound to create discussion, and that was clearly WWE’s goal here. They wanted to get people talking, even if the discourse was overly negative.

At WWE WrestleMania 36, Goldberg will officially put his title on the line against Roman Reigns, who calmly challenged the former WCW star to a title match at the Show of Shows.

Clearly, there will be bad blood between Reigns and Goldberg, as The Big Dog simply has no patience for another part-timer holding a world championship. He took major issues with Brock Lesnar being an absentee champion in the build to WrestleMania 34, and Goldberg as a champion is no better. And honestly, he’s a good bit worse.

Reigns and Goldberg have some similarities as bad-ass former NFL players who rock the spear, but the similarities pretty much end there.

Here are three reasons why the WWE 2K20 co-star must win the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36 against Matt Riddle’s favorite wrestler of all-time. (Bro relax, I’m only kidding!)
