5 WWE wrestlers who should be a part of a storyline with Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley is one Superstar that has a lot of accolades to his credit. He is an Air Force veteran and has been a part of various sports during his life. He trained to be a part of the 2004 Olympic Games, but gunfire took his dreams away, and he later stepped inside the ropes to provide the fans with some quality entertainment.

Bobby was a part of WWE from 2005 to 2006 and later moved to ECW for a year, where he became the ECW Champion. It was around this time that he represented current United States President Donald Trump against Vince McMahon's pick, Umaga, in a Battle of the Billionaires match at WrestleMania 23. Vince McMahon lost the match and his hair courtesy of Bobby Lashley.

The Dominator came to terms with the company for his release on the 4th of February in 2008, and he stepped into the Independent Circuit as well as the Mixed Martial Arts division.

Fast forward to 2018, and Bobby returned to the WWE on the RAW after WrestleMania, where it looked like the former ECW Champion, will be booked as a dominant force. On the other hand, Bobby has been a part of some storylines that don't match his caliber. He has been a part of a romantic love triangle storyline, and then his match for WrestleMania 36 was booked in a rush.

A performer of his caliber needs good opponents, and we list some for your reading pleasure:

#5 Brock Lesnar

The fans have been eagerly waiting for these two powerhouses to clash with each other, but the same never happened. The company can get this match done now because Lesnar is no longer the champion, and Lashley has lost the momentum by his side as well. Brock Lesnar lost to Drew McIntyre while Lashley lost to Aleister Black at WrestleMania, and if the company wants to push a fight between them, then they can do so with the assistance of Paul Heyman.

Paul Heyman's speech can be interrupted by Bobby Lashley, and this will give the fans something to look forward to, as the match can build up over months only to culminate at SummerSlam.

The Dominator has stated on numerous occasions that he has the skills to take down the former UFC champion. His recent interactions with correspondents backstage have hinted that his association with on-screen wife and manager Lana may come to an end soon.

If this does take place, Lashley will be in a better position as he wouldn't need someone to dominate him while he can dominate the former WWE Champion.

#4 Aleister Black

We saw Bobby Lashley and Aleister Black go against each other without any build-up, and they delivered an average impressive match, which was pleasant to witness between the ropes. However, the fact is that they can tell a story on the mic and build it well before they fight inside the squared circle.

Aleister Black used to ask people to pick a fight with him, but he is now picking a fight with people on his own. The Superstar has fought enhancement talents for weeks now, and it's about time that he steps up from Apollo Crews to Bobby Lashley. If Bobby starts this fight, then it would be a good idea because Mr. Black can showcase his darker side and emerge as the person who cuts more amazing promos in the process.

These two can bring entertainment and excitement inside the ropes if they get the opportunity to tell their story in the right fashion. Bobby Lashley is not happy with his manager, and it would be nice to see how she betrays Lashley to provide Black with the upper hand.

#3 Kevin Owens

The List of KO has one fight that is still not over

Kevin Owens and Bobby Lashley had a storyline that ended rather abruptly, and the two have not had the time to put a closure to it at all. At this time, Kevin Owens is not in a fight with anyone as he ended his feud with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania when the Monday Night Messiah wanted to end the match via disqualification.

The match ended with Kevin Owens pinning Seth Rollins, but now WWE will have to look for new storylines for the former Universal Champion, and this is where Bobby Lashley comes into mind. The two fighting it out between the ropes and on the mic will be a treat for the WWE Universe that is self quarantined. Kevin Owens is the perfect babyface who knows how to exhilarate the WWE Universe in his feud, and Bobby Lashley will only add more entertainment to the fight.

The two will ensure that fans get their entertainment while the company receives an upward shift in ratings. Bobby Lashley injured Kevin Owens on the 8th October 2018 episode of RAW, and The Prizefighter had to be out of action for a long time. After making his return, the former Universal Champion has not had the opportunity to take out his nemesis, and this may be the perfect time to do so.

With both superstars currently without a storyline, it would be a good idea to put them against each other where they can entertain the WWE Universe with their promos and action between the ropes. We all know that Kevin Owens is a pro at cutting promos, but the big question is that who would be a better orator for Bobby Lashley instead of Lana?

If you have any names, drop them in the comments.

#2 Braun Strowman

Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue reported in December that there would be a Superstar shakeup after WrestleMania, which brings the fact that if Bobby Lashley moves to SmackDown, then he can challenge the new Universal Champion for the title.

Strowman and Lashley crashed into the RAW stage on the 1st July 2019 episode of the Red brand, which took out Lashley from in-ring action for a long time. This change of brand could serve as the perfect opportunity for Braun to be in a memorable feud while Bobby would also have something worthwhile by his side.

Lana should stay on RAW in this case because Lashley knows how to cut a promo, and as he has had some managerial issues at and after WrestleMania, so it would be nice to see who steps to be his manager.

A fight between two powerhouses will keep the fans involved and would be a great storytelling experience because the fans love a fight. While Braun does have some challengers by his side, it would be a good idea to revisit and reignite an old rivalry. The last time these two fought inside the ring and the arena was during the Extreme Rules pay-per-view where Strowman emerged victorious against Lashley in a Last Man Standing Match.

The former ECW Champion does have a bone to pick with the current Universal Champion, and this fight between the powerhouses will prove to be invaluable for the business in terms of ratings and the fans for entertainment.

#1 Drew McIntyre

The Scottish Psychopath vs The Dominator

Drew McIntyre dethroned Brock Lesnar and became the new WWE Champion at WrestleMania. The World's Largest Athlete challenged the new champion, but The Scottish Psychopath got the best of his opponent and would require some competition in the coming weeks.

While an automatic re-match clause does entitle Brock Lesnar to a match for the title, it would be great if Lashley interrupts him instead and challenges the WWE Champion. McIntyre will not back down from a fight, and this will be a great story to talk about and sell. The hard work, perseverance, and will of The Scottish Superstar have helped him break down barriers and be the next big thing in the field of sports entertainment.

This storyline will be more valuable than any other fight unless the company wants to keep Bobby Lashley as a filler Superstar that is involved in filler matches instead of a full-fledged storyline. One can not count away the efforts of the former ECW Champion who can fight any Superstar, and give them a good fight at 43 years of age.
