Goldberg had been mowing down the competition for more than two months, but he faced his biggest test at Armageddon 2003 in a Triple Threat match against Triple H and Kane. In the end, the numbers game was too much for Goldberg. Kane was able to hit the chokeslam on the champ, but before he could go for the pin, Batista pulled him out of the ring. Triple H took advantage of the situation and made the cover for the win and his eighth World Heavyweight Championship.
