Oh no. (SummerSlam spoilers)

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

This just in from Sean Ross Sapp over at Fightful:

WWE 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.

No. Please, no.

[eJm]

That doesn't sound great at all.

[jivesoulbrah]

Goldberg already lost to Drew who lost to Lashley.

[Deleted]

I'd be fine with this. Not like there's any other challengers left as of this moment before the draft.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

They are literally telling me "DO NOT WATCH SUMMERSLAM" if the plan is for Reigns/Cena and Lashley/Goldberg. Like even with a big crowd that shit is f***ing horrendous.

"Welcome back everyone! We're still hanging onto stars from 10 and 20 Years ago!" is so unsurprising from them as a welcome back. Your ratings keep dropping for a reason! BUILD NEW STARS yet you keep doing back to the dry well! Christ...

[DrBackflipsHoffman]

do they know they can just not hire him? they can just get literally anyone else, any single person

[Deleted]

Soo... they couldnt get Brock.

[XIII]

I can safely say that most people don’t want to see this. Goldberg is almost 25 years out from his prime and he will be purple and blown up like 15 seconds into the match. This is a real desperation move even by Ho WWE standards.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I mean, we were all wondering who the f*** was left on the Raw side to challenge Bob Lashley. This was certainly not the answer I wanted.

[Deleted]

I really do appreciate WWE doing everything they can right now to make me not bother watching them.

[Deleted]

It's as if they don't understand how and why he got over in WCW in the first place.

[Wieners=$$$]

So, no Goldberg v. Riddle Lions Den match? Damn.

Brand is the Draw, Pal!

Ugh, I'm sick of seeing Bill wrestle. Give that match to Big E. That's the only way it'll be entertaining.

[bob]

as awful as

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler} Oldberg is now

I'm kind of interested in it

at least in my head, 2 unstoppable forces going head to head like that sounds good on paper


of course... wrestling doesn't take place on paper, so this will be crap

[fg]

Not to mention that I’m sure that Bobby will get cheered over Bill. Remember just before the pandemic, Bill Goldberg was getting booed.

Why can’t they BUILD NEW STARS?

[Deleted]

Seriously the tag line to summerslam should be: New Stars , Full timers? f***'EM.

[Chiral]

Last time he wrestled it was just unpleasant, dude could just not go at all.

Also if this is them "pulling out all the stops" is another notch in the "WWE is legitimately trying their hardest and this is what we get" idea.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Remember when Drew squashed him in 2 minutes because that's literally all he can do now? Money well spent.

Even if they want to hire him, do they know they can just not put him with the champions, right?
