WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is set to defend his title at SummerSlam against Goldberg in a short but explosive match.

Considering the booking on RAW recently, it's tough to rule out Goldberg becoming the new WWE Champion at the pay-per-view. However, that would certainly lead to a massive fan backlash. Instead, it would be better for the company to let Lashley go over the former Universal Champion.

A twist in the tale could be that following The All Mighty's successful title defense, Big E could make his way to the ring and cash in his Money in the Bank contract.

The New Day member won the men's Money in the Bank ladder match last month, much to the delight of fans. He has had some hilarious backstage segments with Roman Reigns' special counsel Paul Heyman on SmackDown, teasing a cash-in on the Universal Champion.

However, it would make more sense storyline-wise for him to go after Bobby Lashley to take revenge for his New Day brothers. Big E might walk out of SummerSlam 2021 as the new WWE Champion.
