WWE Royal Rumble 2018: 5 Surprise entrants that could shock the WWE Universe

#2 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley is currently signed to both Bellator MMA and TNA wrestling

Lashley is a two-time ECW champion and a one-time United States champion in WWE. He was the first African American in ECW history to win the ECW title. Lashley had a Wrestlemania moment at Wrestlemania 23 when he defeated Umaga in a match in which the now President, Donald Trump, sided with him against Umaga who had Vince McMahon in his corner.

Lashley's last match in WWE was on July 30, 2007, an episode of Raw in a match against Mr. Kennedy. WWE announced that Lashley was released from his WWE contract on February 4, 2008. Lashley moved on to TNA wrestling where he has achieved immense success, capturing the World Heavyweight Championship four times. Also, in Bellator MMA, he remains undefeated in five heavyweight bouts.

It has been a decade since Lashley last appeared in a WWE ring. His physical prowess and fighting skills have been compared to that of Brock Lesnar. He has made a name for himself outside the WWE and everyone would welcome him wholeheartedly should he return. A collision with Brock Lesnar would be mouth-watering and is a dream match that can still happen. A return as a surprise entrant into the Royal Rumble would just be the best way to introduce Bobby Lashley back to the WWE universe. The fans would go wild in giving him the reception he deserves if indeed he makes his big return at the January 28th, 2018 event.
