Result: Goldberg spears Lashley off the ramp to score the pin (11:25).

Rating: Booking this as a brutal hoss fight was the best thing they could've done, and while hardly particularly unique or exciting, saw out its runtime well enough.

Considering Goldberg's recent WWE performances, the prospect of a 10+ minute match wasn't exactly appealing, but having him get beaten down by Lashley for so much of it was a smart call, and also not having him do much in the way of literal heavy lifting.

It's easy to appreciate the argument that Lashley should've won this given that Goldberg has absolutely nothing to prove at this point in his career, but given the heightened extremity of the match it was a little more plausible.

Not a great match, but it delivered the basic goods within a not-torturous length. 6/10
