Former World Champion Returns, Teases Summerslam Title Match

He’s back too. WWE has a lot of momentum at the moment and it would make a lot of sense for them to do everything that they can to capitalize on it. They have the fans back in attendance and hopefully they can figure out the best moves possible. This could include a few different returns, many of which took place this week on Monday Night Raw. We already might know where it is going.

Goldberg made his return to WWE television this week on Monday Night Raw, interrupting Bobby Lashley after Lashley defeated the also returning Keith Lee. Following the match, Goldberg appeared and challenged Lashley for a future title shot. Lashley was ready to fight but MVP held them apart and later said they would not be acknowledging Goldberg’s challenge. Goldberg vs. Lashley has been rumored for a WWE Title match at Summerslam.

Goldberg makes occasional appearances for WWE, including wrestling a few matches a year. His most recent match took place at the 2021 Royal Rumble, where he unsuccessfully challenged Drew McIntyre for the WWE Title. During his career, Goldberg is a three time WWE World Champion and a one time WCW World Champion, having last held a World Title in 2017.

Goldberg is a force. Check out what he is bringing back to WWE:

Opinion: This return was expected but I’m not sure if that makes things much better. At the end of the day, Goldberg has been around for a lot of these one off matches and they rarely work out in the end. It also might not be the best idea to have the same legend show up and get the title shots at both Royal Rumble and Summerslam. Goldberg had his day, but I’m not sure how much value there is here.

What do you expect Goldberg to do? Will he be a World Champion again? Let us know in the comments below.
