As it turned out, that was the peak of his WWE career as he never enjoyed the same level of success again. However, the end of his Universal title run turned out to be a disappointment, as it ended at the hands of Goldberg in 22 seconds at Fastlane 2017. His reign turned out to be the best part of the post-brand split era of RAW, with SmackDown normally being the superior show that year from a quality standpoint. Owens had incredible momentum in the summer of 2016, and he was chosen to be the second Universal Champion. Even his sole Universal Championship reign between 2016 and early 2017 happened due to Finn Balor's injury at SummerSlam 2016. It's hard to imagine that it's been close to five years since Kevin Owens' last WWE world title reign ended.
