WWE posted the following video, showing Goldberg revealing that he will need knee surgery following his match with Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam. He said,
“Well, I got ligament damage and I have an impending knee surgery. Does that answer your question? I really don’t care. But what I do care about is that dirty son of a bitch Bobby Lashley and what he did to my son at SummerSlam. I just left the house, Gage’s shoulder is all jacked up, his neck hurts. God knows what a dude that size could’ve done to my son. So, the objective has changed. I’m not coming for the WWE Championship, I’m coming for Bobby Lashley’s soul, and I will rip it straight from his chest.”
