There is no way that Goldberg will go on the road full-time as a member of the active SmackDown roster defending his Championship in every town and Live Event as the reigning and defending Universal Champion. And even though The Fiend does not appear on every single episode of SmackDown, he is still a very integral component of the full-time SmackDown roster. Unfortunately, if Goldberg becomes the Universal Champion, we will have two part-timers with the two top championships in the company (because Brock Lesnar is likely to defeat Ricochet).
While this is not necessarily the worst thing in the world, considering that a part-time Champion just makes every appearance seems special, it would entirely transform the dynamics of the blue brand. It would be interesting to see how often Goldberg appears and how often he competes, especially if you consider that even Bray Wyatt only competes on pay-per-view.
4. The duration of Universal Championship matches would go down significantly
Goldberg got into the wrestling business without the right kind of training and he never learned the ropes, like many other superstars. Even at the peak of his career, Goldberg matches would be short and sweet to conceal the fact that the man was still green in the ring, something he has himself confessed to.
Many years have passed and with all due respect to a man I’ve grown up watching and idolizing, he is still not exactly Kurt Angle when the bell rings. But the sheer appeal of Goldberg, a man who can vanquish his opponents in a matter of seconds is something that fans gravitate towards, to this very day.
So, if Goldberg were to become the next Universal Champion, I honestly think that WWE will not expose his shortcomings by having the Universal Championship matches that he’s a part of, go on too long. Whether it’s a match against Roman Reigns or Dolph Ziggler, it will be over in a matter of seconds.
3. Much of The Fiend’s mystique would be lost at once
2. The Universal Championship design would have to change

Did you know that Fred Rosser, whom you may know as Darren Young from his time in WWE as a part of The Nexus and The Prime Time Players is good friends with Bray Wyatt and even wrote an article about meeting the man? If you didn’t, just click on the link in the Tweet that I have shared. It’s a very unique perspective into the genius who has transformed himself over the past year and become one of the most compelling characters in WWE history.
The Fiend has his own custom Universal Championship and it would be really weird if Goldberg were to keep the design with the Fiend’s face on it. If Goldberg is to become the Champion at WWE Super ShowDown, I have a feeling that the company will go back to the blue Universal Championship design.
1. The WWE Universe will automatically make him a heel
