5 unexpected matches that could take place for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 38

#2 Bobby Lashley vs. Edge

Bobby Lashley defeated Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship with an assist from Universal Champion Roman Reigns at last month's Royal Rumble.

The All Mighty's first title defense in his second reign will come inside the Elimination Chamber, and he's a favorite to win the match alongside Brock Lesnar.

It would make sense for WWE to not have the WWE Championship change hands at Elimination Chamber, as it already happened at the Royal Rumble.

However, WWE hasn't dropped a hint about plans for a big WWE Championship match at WrestleMania so far, and the Champion already had the biggest match of his career at the Royal Rumble.

One match that would sell, though, would be Bobby Lashley vs. WWE Hall of Famer Edge.

WWE could advertise it as a Spear vs. Spear contest, and have the two veterans get into a heated feud for the title heading into WrestleMania.

Lashley and Edge have never met in a singles match before, so this would also help WWE in making the match a special attraction. In addition, it could finally lead to The Rated-R Superstar getting his hands on a top title in the company, as the last time he won one, he had to retire from in-ring competition due to a neck injury.
