The Bobby Lashley vs. Goldberg feud looks set to continue for the next few weeks, following on from Lashley's successful WWE Title defence against the WCW legend at SummerSlam 2021.

A video aired on last night's episode of Raw, in which Goldberg said he wasn't coming back for the WWE Title, but to rip Lashley's soul from his chest. They are now expected to settle their differences in Saudi Arabia.

This is according to WrestleVotes, who reports that WWE plan on holding the SummerSlam rematch at Crown Jewel 2021 on 21 October.

Whether or not this will be a title fight remains to be seen. Goldberg's insistence that he doesn't want the belt, but the chance to hurt Lashley, suggests it may not be, though nothing can be confirmed until the match is made official.

Goldberg vs. Lashley I ended via referee stoppage, with Bobby destroying Goldberg's knee to the point that he was rendered unable to continue. The main hook, however, was Lashley putting Goldberg's son Gage in the Hurt Lock after the bell, thus giving Bill the impetus to come back after the WWE Champion.
