#7 Bobby Lashley to SmackDown

According to some recent updates, Bobby Lashley is slated to return around the October 14th draft date. He isn't cleared medically as of today, but that hasn't stopped Superstars from being on television. It keeps them in the minds of the fans until they are ready for action.

Lashley's return to the WWE last year was a mixed bag, as he won the Intercontinental Championship but struggled to get the fans behind him.

A partnership with Lio Rush was used to remedy that, but with The Man Of The Hour being a part of NXT now, it's up to The All Mighty to get over on his own. Whether that is as a heel or as a face again is entirely up to Eric Bischoff.

SmackDown is better suited for his talents because it will focus more on in-ring action rather than character-driven storylines. Lashley isn't the best on the mic, so he'd be perfect for a show relying on physicality. He'd also be a good foil for Brock Lesnar should he beat Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship.
