Last month, Goldberg made his return to WWE on the July 19 episode of RAW as he interrupted WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. In classic Goldberg fashion, he would tell Lashley “I’m Next!”. However, Lashley would take to Twitter with the following:
You don’t belong in the same world as me, let alone the same ring. Get that close again, @The305MVP won’t be able to hold me back.
No thanks, old man.
