When it was revealed that Goldberg would appear on Friday night's episode of
SmackDown, it's fair to say that most of us assumed it would be to set up a match at
Super ShowDown where he could squash an opponent like King Corbin or Robert Roode.
Well, things have instead gone down a slightly different route and the WWE Hall of Famer will now challenge The Fiend/Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship in Saudi Arabia instead.
During a recent interview, his fellow WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry shared his thoughts on the match and explained why he's a fan of Wyatt's and why this match has some huge potential:
"The Fiend kinda scares me. I am so glad that I’ve been able to stay away from the business and not be tormented by The Fiend. That would be the worst thing ever. But Bill is not the one. This is one of those matches that if it is done right it can be one of those that we really talk about and it’s like ‘Where has this Bill been? Where has this Goldberg been?’ and I think he realizes that and he wants that. A lot of people would not want to work up to that standard, but he’s a Hall of Famer. He’s one of the best wrestling personalities that was ever created and ever entertained us. So I’m excited about it.
"I don’t know if even that spot did it justice. I don’t think he had to be in the arena for it to get over. I think him walking off the screen pissed off, set the tempo for what it is and Bray Wyatt is just so damn good. You talk about somebody that keeps your attention, he keeps your attention. He goes into laughter, he goes into anger, he goes into frustration as good as any actor I have ever seen. I think that maybe we’ll see both in Saudi. I think that we will see The Fiend and we will see Bray Wyatt. This is a way that you can add more depth to that character and he needs to be schizophrenic. I can see him coming in and out and that would be very pleasing."
Are you guys excited to see these two clash at Super ShowDown?
