48-year-old AEW star dethroning Jon Moxley as world champion could happen soon, says legend (Exclusive)

Jon Moxley is the current AEW World Champion and according to Hall of Famer Bill Apter, a former WWE Champion could dethrone Moxley soon. The name in question is none other than Bobby Lashley.

The All Mighty has been a World Champion in several promotions like TNA/IMPACT and WWE. He is a former two-time WWE Champion. Bobby Lashley recently made his AEW debut and will be competing in his first singles match against Swerve Strickland at AEW Full Gear.

In a recent edition of Sportskeeda’s exclusive The Wrestling Time Machine podcast with Mac Davis, Senior Editor Bill Apter said that Bobby Lashley should hold the All Elite Wrestling World Championship in the future. He noted how All Elite Wrestling books WWE guys similar to how WWE did with WCW talent and hoped that it could change starting with The Hurt Syndicate.

"To me, Bobby Lashley should be the World Champion. They need to keep him on top but because of the way AEW has played the WWE guys, it's similar to what the WWE guys used to play the WCW guys when they came in here. Like, there were no major talents." [00:35 - 0:58]

Bill Apter wants to see Bobby Lashley and MJF feud for the AEW World Championship

Jon Moxley won the AEW World Championship at the WrestleDream PPV last month. The Death Rider has been terrorizing All Elite Wrestling and has proven to be a dominant force. He is set to defend his World Title against Orange Cassidy at Full Gear later this month.

In the same episode, Bill Apter said that Bobby Lashley should defeat Jon Moxley for the World Title and start a program with MJF.

"They need to have Lashley beat Moxley for the World Title and then have MJF go after him. That would be great." [4:16 - 4:21]

We will have to wait and see if All Elite Wrestling plans on putting Bobby Lashley in the main event scene after Full Gear.
