WWE Champion Bobby Lashley held an open challenge on Monday Night Raw this week in Dallas, eager to find a new opponent after he ran right through Kofi Kingston at Money in the Bank just one night before in Fort Worth. With rumors of Goldberg being in the plans running rampant, it was reasonable to expect he may answer the call.

There were rumors and reports that it was health related, then then it was about creative having nothing for him, then a potential issue with WWE over clearing him for a return.

Either way, Lee would wrestle a fairly standard match against Lashley but would ultimately lose via pinfall.
