It was decided to flesh out his character and make the audience care for the man behind the muscled up behemoth. This resulted in Lashley being interviewed by Renee Young on an episode of Monday Night Raw. The intention was to show a different, softer side of the former ECW Champion, but things didn't turn out the way they were planned.
Lashley talked about growing up with three sisters, and shared disturbing details of how they used to tie him up and leave him for hours on end. At the end of the interview, Lashley looked right into the camera, and said that he loves his three sisters, while the camera zoomed in on him.
The babyface run flopped gloriously and he was turned into a heel soon after. Take a look at the interview and decide for yourself, how the interview ended up destroying Lashley's babyface run!

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.
