WWE Crown Jewel 2021: 35 Things You Probably Missed

12. Lashley Stopped For No Reason

Goldberg's kendo stick got stuck on the ramp as Bobby Lashley went in for a kill shot, and that kinda made the heel look like a tool. He hesitated instead of swinging, and ran at Bill with his ribs exposed for a good second or so.

Why didn't he swing?! He didn't know Goldberg would take an eternity to swing his own stick, that's why. Way to make Bob look foolish, Bill! The babyface might've had his weapon poised to strike too.

11. Lashley's Gashed Arm

Somehow, the 'No Holds Barred' bout between Lashley and Goldberg felt more brutal than the earlier Hell In A Cell collision at points. Both Bill and Bobby certainly had nasty gashes (Goldberg on his head) post-match that would've required some stitches.

Take a gander at Lashley's arm above. That's...yeah, ouch. His forearm looked like someone had attacked it with a cheese grater, or something. It was mincemeat, and cannot have been fun once the adrenaline started to wear off.
