#2. No reason to build to Aleister Black vs Bobby Lashley?

This one took us by surprise. Last week, WWE announced that Aleister Black would have his first WrestleMania singles match against Bobby Lashley. It seemed like a random match that was put together on short notice and the reality is that it was. However, that doesn't stop it from being an intriguing match-up and if WWE wants to build Lashley as a possible contender to Brock Lesnar, then he needs to beat Black.

However, the consensus would be that Black should win and in the long run, he's a more exciting superstar to build RAW around. WWE has been very careful with the way that they've pushed and protected him and while he hasn't stayed undefeated as long as he did in NXT, those losses haven't affected him too much.

He even got a win over AJ Styles (albeit with The Undertaker's assistance) at Elimination Chamber, but we're surprised that WWE decided that no build was needed for Aleister Black vs Bobby Lashley. A simple staredown or beatdown would have sufficed. Instead, Black won a squash match as usual.
