Bobby Lashley has finally accepted Bill Goldberg’s
SummerSlam challenge for his WWE championship at the Aug. 21 pay-per-view
event.
Lashley will defend his WWE Championship against Goldberg at
SummerSlam on Saturday, August 21. A confrontation between Lashley and Goldberg
on Raw tonight led to the match being made official for SummerSlam later in the
episode.
After Goldberg headed to the back following the
confrontation, Lashley went face-to-face with Goldberg's son Gage at ringside.
Lashley and MVP both taunted Gage. As MVP was telling Gage that Lashley will
end Goldberg's career at SummerSlam, Goldberg came back out and hit a spear on
MVP.
Goldberg returned to Raw two weeks ago and kicked off the
build to him facing Lashley at SummerSlam. Goldberg also confronted Lashley on
that episode, but Lashley dismissed Goldberg's challenge. Lashley finally
accepted the challenge during a backstage interview on Raw tonight. Lashley
said he hopes Goldberg brings his son with him to SummerSlam so his son can
watch Lashley annihilate Goldberg.
SummerSlam will be the first time Goldberg has wrestled
since losing to Drew McIntyre at the Royal Rumble this January.
Lashley has been WWE Champion since winning the title from
The Miz this March.
SummerSlam is taking place at Allegiant Stadium in Las
Vegas. Here's the updated card for the pay-per-view:
- Universal Champion Roman Reigns defends against John Cena
- WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defends against Goldberg
- Raw Women's Champion Nikki A.S.H. defends against Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match
