Bobby Lashley discussed Goldberg returning for WWE SummerSlam during a recent interview with SportsKeeda.
Lashley will defend the WWE Title against the WWE Hall of Famer at the show.
“I thought it was great. SummerSlam is so huge this year. I mean, with everything we’ve been going through in the last year, year and a half. SummerSlam is huge, and we had to stack the deck. Bringing Goldberg in, I think it was something that was needed, and I like it. If you have any questions about the popularity of Goldberg, you should just come to the arena. When Goldberg came out, the arena erupted. So, it was a good opportunity for me to knock off one of the people I looked up to before. Make your peers your competition….everybody thinks it’s gonna be a typical Goldberg match, but it’s not a Goldberg match. It’s a Bobby Lashley match. He doesn’t even have to get in shape for this match. The outcome is gonna be the same. I’m gonna throw him around and beat him up for as long as I want to. I’m excited about it. Like I said, I’m going to beat him up, but at the same time, I have a lot of respect for the man. I have a lot of respect for him as Goldberg. I used to watch him, looked up to him. But I have the title, and I’m a different animal from anybody on the roster. I’m just here to hurt people and beat people up.”
