Well, this is new!

Winner: Bray Wyatt

I think it's safe to say that The Fiend Bray Wyatt's character was never quite the same after that disastrous Hell in a Cell match with Seth Rollins in October, but this might bring him back up toward his peak.

Goldberg surprisingly challenged the Universal Champion to a match at Super Showdown, so we have a marquee main event at the latest Saudi Arabian show.

If nothing else, Goldberg vs. The Fiend will be an interesting match, and notching a victory against so exalted a figure will make for wind in the sails of Wyatt as he heads toward a WrestleMania title defense.


Winner: Daniel Bryan

Character development is always nice. That's what we saw last night with Daniel Bryan, who brutalized Heath Slater almost like he would if he were still the Planet's Champion character at this time last year.

It seems puzzling given that he just turned babyface again, and there's still no obvious WrestleMania match for him, but we'll see how this evolution affects his chances. It's unlikely he's going to be in the battle royal, that's for sure.
