#1. Hope isn't true: WWE still not going for Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley?

Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar is perhaps the biggest dream match that WWE can book once the latter returns. Brock Lesnar has been absent since WrestleMania 36, with WWE reportedly not interested in bringing him back until the crowds return.

On the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that WWE won't be going with the Bobby Lashley direction for Brock Lesnar when he returns and will save him for a more marquee WWE Superstar:

"Probably not. I mean, it's not impossible but you know, maybe on a Saudi Arabia show but you know, even though Bobby Lashley's being protected and pushed pretty hard, I don't know that with all the money they're going to pay Brock Lesnar to do a show like that, I think that they are going to want a more marquee name if that's the right way to put it. It just seems like that's where they're going to go if they use him again. If they're going to use him I think it's probably Drew [McIntyre] or Roman Reigns rather than Bobby Lashley and who knows, Brock maybe home, you know what I mean?"

We hope this isn't true because Bobby Lashley deserves to have the Brock Lesnar match that he has campaigned for. He returned to WWE two years ago with the intention of facing Brock Lesnar and had the opportunity taken from him multiple times.
