WWE is tapping into legacy talent to ensure the road to SummerSlam generates as much buzz as possible. In the weeks ahead, we’ll see the returns of John Cena and Becky Lynch. Another box office attraction set to return soon is one Bill Goldberg.
The 54-year-old star is scheduled to appear at Monday’s WWE Raw from Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center. The news was first reported at Fightful Select. This is the first WWE Raw “on the road” with fans since March 2020.
WWE is planning for Goldberg to challenge WWE Champion Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam on Sunday, August 21st.
Goldberg’s WWE contract runs through 2022 and calls for two matches per year.
In 2019, he lost to The Undertaker at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia in June before defeating Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam in Toronto.
Last year, the legendary pro wrestler beat The Fiend for the Universal title at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia in February only to drop it a few months later to Braun Strowman on night one of WrestleMania 36.
Goldberg was last seen in action back in January at the Royal Rumble. That match was also for the WWE Championship. He came up short against Drew McIntyre.
