WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg returned to Smack Down on Friday and challenged the current Universal champion Bray Wyatt, also known as 'The Fiend', for a title match at the WWE Super Show Down event. Goldberg, during an interview with Michael Cole, expressed his desire for a Universal title match as he never got a rematch after losing the championship to Brock Lesnar back in Wrestlemania 33. Bray Wyatt, interrupting the interview, accepted the challenge from Goldberg and made it official that the two will face-off at the Super Show Down scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia on February 27.
Goldberg, who had an unprecedented record of 173-0 back in WCW (later bought by WWE), had retired from in-ring competition back in 2004.
He returned to the ring 12 years later and went on to defeat Kevin Owens to become the Universal champion.
The WWE took to Twitter to share the video of Goldberg, who in his trademark style, revealed "who's next".
