5 Things WWE subtly told us at the Royal Rumble 2022: Superstar to turn face and dethrone Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania, Huge change to Brock Lesnar's character?

#4. Bobby Lashley's triumph at Royal Rumble and what it means

Bobby Lashley faced Brock Lesnar in a dream match at Royal Rumble, and if you haven't watched it already, we highly recommend you do. The clash of the two titans delivered in a big way, and the events that unfolded will directly impact the two main matches of WrestleMania 38.

Lesnar and Lashley had moments where they were evenly matched, and they were getting the better of one another on different occasions. However, the former hit the defining F-5, only to accidentally knock the referee out in the process.

This allowed Roman Reigns to swoop in, and Paul Heyman handed him the WWE title to attack Brock Lesnar, turning heel again and re-aligning with The Tribal Chief.

It was an epic moment that allowed Bobby Lashley to controversially dethrone The Beast Incarnate, making his ninth WWE Championship reign his shortest one.

Lashley enters the road to WrestleMania as the WWE Champion yet again, but what this could possibly mean is that the funny, goofy Lesnar character is officially done and that we're going to see a more serious, intense side of him once again.
