Goldberg/Lashley Match Has Oldest Combined Wrestler Ages For WWE Title Match Since 2001

The upcoming match between Bill Goldberg and Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam holds an interesting distinction.

With Goldberg being 54 years old and Bobby Lashley being 45 years old, this match is apparently the second-oldest combined age for a WWE title match in history.

It was noted by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the only WWE Championship match that had an older combined age was from an episode of RAW on May 11th, 2002. In that match, Hulk Hogan (48) defended against Ric Flair (53).
