Bobby Lashley Vs. Goldberg Official For WWE SummerSlam

It has now been made official that WWE Champion Bobby Lashley will defend the title against Goldberg at SummerSlam on August 21.

The bout has been teased since the Raw after Money in the Bank, but was only officially confirmed on last night’s show after a segment involving Lashley, MVP, Goldberg, and Goldberg’s son Gage.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

The WWE Universe will find out when The All Mighty Bobby Lashley meets the legendary Goldberg in a huge WWE Title showdown at SummerSlam.

Lashley was on the top of his game at WWE Money in the Bank, as the dominant champion put his incredible power on display in a victory over Kofi Kingston. The exhibition of power left mystery around who would muster the courage to challenge him next, but Goldberg put the doubts to rest with a challenge for the champion the next night on Raw. Lashley would initially turn down the proposal, but after MVP fell victim to an earth-shattering Spear from the WWE Hall of Famer the following week, the WWE Champion obliged the SummerSlam offer.

Will The All Mighty Era reign on? Or will Lashley indeed be next in the battle of the two goliaths?

Don’t miss SummerSlam on Saturday, Aug. 21, streaming at 8 ET/5 PT exclusively on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.

Also confirmed for SummerSlam are Roman Reigns defending the Universal Championship against John Cena, and Nikki ASH defending the Raw Women’s Title against Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley in a three-way.
