Bobby Lashley vs Goldberg WWE Championship match made official for SummerSlam. The match up had been teased for weeks being officially announced.
Bobby Lashley’s opponent for the biggest party of the Summer has been confirmed. The Almighty will defend the WWE Championship against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. Goldberg challenged Lashley a couple of weeks ago but the WWE Champion expressed no interest in the match. That however, changed today.

MVP then got in the face of Goldberg’s son at ringside telling him that Lashley was going to end his father’s career.
This prompted Goldberg to come back and nail MVP with a spear as Lashley watched on from the ring.
