5 Reasons why Bobby Lashley should become the WWE Champion at Backlash

#1 It would perfectly set up a match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar

I never ducked @BrockLesnar in college. I never had the chance to meet him earlier in @WWE. Never was in same #MMA organization. Now we're both here again in #WWE. I'm ready. Let's do it. I'd LOVE to fight Brock. Take that any way you want!

Bobby Lashley has gotten a few big matches against established Superstars and managed to deliver. While his rivalry against Braun Strowman wasn’t the best, the two men did all they could to carry it forward. On the other hand, he had a good rivalry against former Universal Champion Finn Balor.

Lashley now has one big match that he’s been looking forward to for a long time, and that is against Brock Lesnar. The entire WWE Universe has been waiting for this booking for a long time and want to see both these Superstars compete against each other in the squared circle.

Will the two heavyweights compete for the WWE Championship?

SummerSlam seems like the perfect place to play host to a match between these two heavyweights, and if WWE puts the WWE Championship around Lashley’s waist, the clash will end up being even more entertaining.

Therefore, Lashley’s win at Backlash could help him develop into the face of RAW just in time for a big rivalry and match against one of WWE’s most valuable Superstar's at SummerSlam.

Even if the company receives some backlash for their booking at Sunday’s event, they could end up receiving a lot of praise if they go down that route for SummerSlam.
