Roman Reigns and Goldberg were ready to compete early at WWE Elimination Chamber. The two men made their iconic entrances for the first match in Saudi Arabia this year.
Goldberg struck first and took down the Universal Champion with a Spear. Reigns countered the Jackhammer and hit a modified Rock Bottom to regain control. He hit a Superman Punch but got taken down by another Spear from Goldberg.
As the Hall of Famer prepared the Jackhammer again, Reigns locked in a guillotine choke. He kept the submission locked in as Goldberg struggled to break free. After trying to fight out of the hold, The Icon passed out to award Reigns the win.
ROMAN WINS!
@WWERomanReigns retains the #UniversalTitle against @Goldberg at #WWEChamber.

It was a quick but solid match that accomplished exactly what it intended. Goldberg delivered a couple of spears and had the champion on his back foot. The Tribal Chief knew what was required and picked up the win after taking some big blows.
The victory will help Reigns continue as the most dominant force in WWE today. Elimination Chamber gave fans the dream match they were looking for after all.
