5 Things we secretly learned from WrestleMania 36

#4 Bobby Lashley is in a desperate need of direction

Bobby Lashley needs to be included in good storylines

WWE’s infamous love triangle between Rusev, Lana, and Bobby Lashley faced criticism from the audience but the views certainly went up, especially for the company’s YouTube channel. From dates and divorce to a wedding, this storyline had it all and also featured the return of Liv Morgan.

Despite being the talk of the town, this feud barely made any difference for the Superstars involved in terms of their position on the roster.

As for Lashley, he was on the receiving end of a lot of heat from the fans and it was the right time to establish him as a heel. However, since the end of that feud, he has hardly been involved in any interesting storylines that can help establish his dominance. Instead, he has been booked in one-off encounters where he has often failed to pick a victory.

At WrestleMania 36, Lashley locked horns with Aleister Black but the latter’s incredible resilience helped him prevail over his opponent. Lashley once again suffered from a loss. However, it’s the lack of storyline and a proper build-up which had a huge impact on the overall appeal of their bout.

It is evident that the creatives are struggling to find the right feud for Lashley and they need to do it before he is lost in oblivion.
