Goldberg Hell-Bent on Destroying Bobby Lashley Despite a Knee Injury

WWE has always been known for its unpredictable storylines and fascinating matches. This week on Raw, WWE finalized the rematch between Bobby Lashley and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. It will be a ‘No Holds Barred’ match and will take place at Crown Jewel.

This year’s Crown Jewel will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 21st, 2021. This will be the company’s first international show, after Covid-19.

The first match between Bobby Lashley and Goldberg took place at SummerSlam 2021. The match was for the WWE Championship. Lashley performed admirably throughout the match and defeated Goldberg.

However, Lashley did not stop there as he attacked Goldberg’s son, Gage A.J. Goldberg. During the match, Lashley had attacked Goldberg with a chair to his knee, which resulted in an injury.

What is Goldberg’s recent injury update?

Goldberg has been missing from WWE since his SummerSlam defeat. Even Lashley is busy with some new feuds and rivalries. In an episode of Raw, he successfully defended his championship against Randy Orton. But, just as the match finished, Big E successfully cashed in his ‘Money in the Bank’ briefcase and became the champion.

Goldberg recently took part in a podcast event. He joined the CarCast podcast, where he talked about his knee injury. He stated that there is a major improvement in his knee, however, it will take more time. Goldberg gave the audience an obvious hint that he won’t be completely fit before his match at Crown Jewel.

He said, “Knee’s much better. Hopefully, it’ll be — I won’t be completely healed by then [Crown Jewel] but it’ll be, suffice to say, in good enough shape to kick Bobby [Lashley’s] a**. Let’s just say that.” H/T to POST Wrestling
