WWE Rumor Roundup: Big update on The Rock's return, Hall of Famer finally cleared to compete, McMahon 'testing' top superstar by making him job? (27th July 2021)

#2 Booker T comments on the upcoming WWE Championship match involving Goldberg and Lashley

Goldberg returned to WWE last week to challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship. The two behemoths will face each other at SummerSlam. There has been a lot of speculation as to how WWE might book the match.

On the one hand, it is important to keep Lashley's momentum as champion going, and a win over Goldberg would be big. However, Goldberg lost to McIntyre at Royal Rumble this year and two consecutive losses would devalue Goldberg.

WWE legend Booker T believes the match between the two superstars should be a short one:

"The Goldberg thing. I don't know what the match is going to be like. Me, personally, I'm not trying to pick a winner or anything, but if I was picking one, it'd be Bobby Lashley. The match shouldn't last very long,'' said Booker T

The WWE Hall of Famer added that Lashley should be very happy that he is getting a chance to face a legend like Goldberg. He also insinuated that Brock Lesnar might show up after the match between Lashley and Goldberg.
