5 stars who could dethrone Bobby Lashley as WWE Champion

#1 Roman Reigns could dethrone Bobby Lashley as WWE Champion

Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns

While Bobby Lashley has dominated RAW since becoming WWE Champion earlier this year, Roman Reigns has run roughshod on Smackdown for nearly a year. Reigns has had perhaps his best year as a WWE Superstar, showing an entirely different side of himself on television.

The Tribal Chief has held the Universal Championship since the Payback pay-per-view, which took place in August 2020. He has annihilated everyone in his path and may soon run out of opponents on the Blue brand.

Reigns could perhaps be drafted to RAW later this year, which could see him come face-to-face with Bobby Lashley on the Red brand.

This will be a mouthwatering match-up as the two Superstars have momentum on their side, are similar in size, and have two exceptionally gifted mouthpieces in Paul Heyman and MVP, respectively.

What makes this potential feud even more exciting is that the two haven't been in a storyline with each other in 2018, which makes this a fresh feud. Bobby Lashley losing to Roman Reigns would not hurt his credibility as The Tribal Chief has been on an incredible run over the last year.
