The torch is going to get passed from Bill Goldberg to Bobby Lashley in Saudi Arabia this week.
At least that's how "The All Mighty" sees it.
WWE Superstar Bobby Lashley appeared as a guest on Busted Open Radio for an in-depth interview to promote this week's WWE Crown Jewel 2021 special event.
During the discussion, the longtime pro wrestling veteran spoke about how he views his match against Goldberg at the big event in Saudi Arabia later this week as a "passing the torch" moment.
Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he explains his logic.
"I think I have the advantage. Across the board, I don’t see where he has the advantage in any kind of match. Goldberg is Goldberg and will always be Goldberg. He comes out there and destroys people, but I almost see this match as the passing of the guard. Eventually, I’m going to be slowed down and tired to an extent. I think I’m that guy who comes back to disrupt peoples shine when they are doing big things. I’ll come back and challenge the champ because I’ve established myself. Through this matchups with Goldberg, it’s to establish myself on another level as that guy. Across that board, of course he has the opportunity to pull something out and catch a win over me but I think ultimately, it’s my time and he’s passing that Goldberg torch over to me where it’s now the Lashley torch and it’s Lashley that comes back to take out the champion in years to come."
