Could we see these WWE Superstars in the title picture soon?

#1 Bobby Lashley (WWE RAW)

Bobby Lashley looks ready to go after the world title in WWE

After struggling for a long time in WWE, Bobbly Lashley finally got the momentum he needed once he allied with MVP. Along with The Hurt Business, Lashley has established himself as an entertaining performer on RAW, and he is looking better than before. His most recent match against Riddle also proved that he just needs good booking to deliver aggressive and entertaining matches.

As of now, Lashley is expected to engage in a title feud with Riddle with his United States Championship on the line. If he loses his title, he should still remain in the title picture. His recent performances on the Red brand have done enough to prove that he can carry the gold well. If not, the creative always have the option to push him into the world title picture, specifically for the WWE Championship.

Lashley might be the reigning champion, but with the current momentum, he deserves more in WWE. He would make for an excellent challenger when it comes to facing other top names in WWE. In fact, his last feud with Drew McIntyre was more than enough to convince us that he will always pose a threat to someone’s comfortable title reign.
