Bobby Lashley is perhaps one of the most deserving candidates to bag a chance to compete inside Hell In A Cell. Back in 2005-06, Bobby Lashley was one of the fastest rising stars on WWE SmackDown. His shot at fame came on the road to WrestleMania 23 when he was chosen to represent Donald Trump in the "Battle of the Billionaires" against Mr. McMahon's client, Umaga. The match was heavily promoted and received nationwide attention. WrestleMania 23 did record buys and it was only broken by WrestleMania 28, which was headlined by The Rock vs John Cena, five years later.
Lashley left WWE in late 2007 and came back 11 years later after making his name elsewhere. Lashley's feud with Rusev was certainly deserving of a Hell In A Cell match, where we would get to see Rusev exact revenge on Lashley for taking Lana away from him. Unfortunately, the feud was a major flop and had an untimely end. Lashley is currently gaining steam courtesy his stint with The Hurt Business. Here's hoping that he gets at least one Hell In A Cell outing before he bids goodbye to the business.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
