Spoiler on major return and Summerslam plans
Added 2021-07-15 21:15:06 +0000 UTCWWE appears to be pulling out all the stops for fans returning to shows. Fightful has learned that as of Thursday, WWEs plan was for Bill Goldberg to return on Monday's and to set up an eventual match with Bobby Lashley, targeted for Summerslam. Goldberg has a contract set for two matches per year through next year, and this would be his second of 2021.
As always, plans can change.

I understand that Goldberg has a crazy contract stating that he had matches included! But why does he have to be in the title picture?!?! Canβt he just fight someone who could use a push to show they could be a contender for the title? Like someone like Keith Lee (when he is cleared) or AJ or just ANYONE but who ever is not the WWE champ!!

2021-07-16 01:04:04 +0000 UTCBest thing to do if Goldberg must be used: Riddle wins MITB, Goldberg beats Lashley with Brock's help setting up a feud there, Riddle cashes in by challenging Goldberg. So he gets his Goldberg match, Lashley doesn't look bad in defeat, and we get Brock/Lashley. Plus Alex implodes on Sour Graps, making for great viewing. We all win!

2021-07-15 22:06:44 +0000 UTCBig E can still cash the MITB contract in on whoever wins if he wins Sunday y'all

2021-07-15 21:51:52 +0000 UTCI read this. I saw the number of comments on it. I laughed so hard it took a couple of minutes to catch my breath.

2021-07-15 21:24:19 +0000 UTCI really don't wanna see h wrestle anymore lol. Vince wanna go "All Out" for SummerSlam, he should call Phillip Brooks.

2021-07-15 21:20:40 +0000 UTCGoldberg beats Bobby Lashley, Big E cashes in on Goldberg. That's the only way I'd be okay with it. Well that or Goldberg puts Lashley over.
Jason Allonby
2021-07-15 21:19:57 +0000 UTCI mean. He has 2 matches contracted each year so at some point he has to do them. And to put over Lashley isnt the worst thing he can do ever
Andreas Bryhn
2021-07-15 21:19:51 +0000 UTCHonestly, there are worse matches than Goldberg/Lashley
Ben Dupuis
2021-07-15 21:19:24 +0000 UTCJudging by just the comments in here it's going be an epic meltdown

2021-07-15 21:19:11 +0000 UTCThat's why WWE is in the position they are in now. Relying on nostalgia and novelty acts instead of the present acts. I wouldn't even mind the fiend returning or bray Wyatt the cult leader to challenge.

2021-07-15 21:18:03 +0000 UTCI was hoping for this to be Sonya in the MITB match.
2021-07-15 21:17:51 +0000 UTCIt just doesnβt make sense. Vince still doesnβt know how to book him after 20 years. Just have him smash Elias in 2 minutes and he moves the needle as much as he would wrestling for a title. He just needs to be squashing guys twice a year.

2021-07-15 21:17:50 +0000 UTCIt will be funny to see Bobby go uber babyface for one night

2021-07-15 21:17:49 +0000 UTCGoldberg wrestled this year?? Really??
David Wikeley
2021-07-15 21:17:39 +0000 UTCπ€¦ why do they think this is what the people want? A short match with a 54yo with a very limited skill set.
Garrick Knight
2021-07-15 21:17:35 +0000 UTCGuess that means no Brock. I was holding out hope for Big E to beat Lashley at summer slam.

2021-07-15 21:17:17 +0000 UTCWell thatβs a bummer.
Gannon Barnes
2021-07-15 21:16:55 +0000 UTCLol we all thought it was gonna be Big E, like always never hope when it comes to wwe.
