Goldberg first returned to WWE in 2016 and he shocked the world when he squashed Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. Following his return Goldberg continued his feud with Brock Lesnar, but he also went on to feud with names like Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley.
At SummerSlam in 2021, Goldberg challenged Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship. Ultimately Bobby Lashley retained as the referee stopped the match. Once it was all said and done Goldberg’s son Gage got involved and then Lashley put him in the Hurt Lock. Goldberg recently talked about his feud with Bobby Lashley on Steve & Captain Evil and he revealed that it was Lashley’s idea to get Gage involved.
“I used to eat guys like Bobby Lashley when I was big. Now, I just let my son eat those people. The funny thing is…Bobby came in, I had a feud with somebody else at the time, but we were backstage and he comes in, and he gets along great with Gage. He asked if I would throw Gage into the fray. I was like, ‘I don’t know, let me ask Gage.’
Long story short, San Antonio, Gage’s football team was in the front row, Bobby was messing with me, and he gets in Gage’s face. Fast forward to Vegas, we had a pay-per-view, I’m getting beat up by Bobby Lashley and Gage jumps out of the stands, jumps in the middle of the ring, this was planned, and jumps on Bobby’s back, and Bobby proceeds to choke him out. He has to act like he’s choked out.
I’m over in the corner, hurt, but I’m watching my son to make sure he’s doing everything correctly. He’s smiling! I started laughing, being proud of my son, I’m choking Gage, I’m behind him, I’m consoling him, but I’m literally choking him with his own shirt so he stops laughing. I was very proud of him. You have to take the fakeness serious.”
