Bill Goldberg is back with a vengeance. At WWE Super Showdown in Saudi Arabia the hall of fame wrestler pinned “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt in just three minutes to win the Universal Championship.

As soon as the bell rang on Thursday, Goldberg went on the offensive by using his trademark spear. After surviving The Fiend’s mandible claw, Goldberg managed to pull a reversal and placed Wyatt into a finishing jackhammer to set up the pinfall.

Goldberg, now in his second reign, was one of the most popular figures in professional wrestling in the late 1990s to early 2000s, rising to fame in the WCW where he captured multiple championship titles. After the WCW’s closure, Goldberg went on to wrestle for All Japan Pro Wrestling and then WWE where he is now in his second stint. Goldberg was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2018 the weekend of WrestleMania 34.

Before he was a professional wrestler, Goldberg played football. Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing 266-pounds, Bill Goldberg played defensive tackle at UGA apart of the Junkyard Dog Club and earned All-SEC honors his last two seasons.

The former Bulldog was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 11th round with the 301st overall pick of the 1990 NFL Draft. Goldberg played one season with the Rams and then spent time in the CFL before returning to the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons from 1992-1994.

After being cut by the Falcons, Goldberg was selected in the 1995 NFL expansion draft by the Carolina Panthers but never played a game for them as he was the first player ever to be cut by the franchise. The Tulsa, Oklahoma native’s football career was cut short by an abdominal tear but during his rehabilitation, he was discovered by wrestling greats Lex Luger and Sting.
