Goldberg lost the WWE Championship match against Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam. The match ended via referee stoppage after Goldberg was unable to continue due to an injured leg.

It was believed this was WWE's way of protecting Goldberg from taking a pin at SummerSlam as he lost his match against Drew McIntyre at Royal Rumble clean. However, Wade Keller of PWTorch has said this was more likely done to set up a rematch instead of just protecting Goldberg from a pin.

''This seems like more setting up a rematch than generically protecting Goldberg,'' said Keller.

After the match Lashley was attacked by Goldberg's son Gage from behind. The All Mighty swiftly put the 15-year-old in the Hurt Lock, which further indicates that the program between Goldberg and Lashley isn't over yet.

Should Goldberg return to feud with Bobby Lashley, or does The All-Mighty need a new opponent? Sound off in the comments!

NXT Superstar Pete Dunne's future in WWE seems uncertain. Fightful Select reported that Dunne was offered a contract extension by WWE after his contract ended. Much like in Adam Cole's case, the officials were unaware that his contract was already up.

The report stated that the former NXT UK Champion had been offered an extension ahead of the SummerSlam weekend. There is no word on the length of the contract or information on whether he has signed it or not.
