WWE RAW Flops and Hits – John Cena vs. Roman Reigns at SummerSlam 2021, controversial debut, Goldberg challenges Bobby Lashley for title

#2 Flop on WWE RAW: Goldberg arrives as Bobby Lashley’s next challenger

Goldberg will challenge Bobby Lashley for WWE Championship

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley successfully defended his title against Kofi Kingston after a dominating performance at Money in the Bank. Following that, he issued an open challenge on RAW this week, which set up Keith Lee’s much-awaited return.

These statements could have marked the beginning of one of the most defining feuds on the Red brand this year, but to quote Thanos, “Reality is often disappointing”.

Lashley and Lee engaged in a decent match that eventually ended with the WWE Champion picking up a convincing victory. Unfortunately, his celebration was cut short by a returning Goldberg who walked out to a huge pop.

He stepped inside the ring and declared that he was next in line to challenge Lashley for the title. Both superstars will likely face each other in a title match at SummerSlam next month.

Goldberg potentially has another title win left in his contract, and there’s a big chance that he will dethrone Lashley as the WWE Champion. The latter’s recent booking would be entirely pointless if the creative team sticks with this direction.

Lashley needed a dominating run to set up a dream match against Brock Lesnar – a fight that has been in the making since both these superstars signed with WWE. However, it seems that his days as a champion are now numbered.
