Bobby Lashley vs Drew McIntyre with Lana coming out was both amazing and hilarious. Extremely intense match. Possibly my favourite Drew McIntyre match ever. Lana coming out is hilarious.#WWE#WWEBacklashpic.twitter.com/uPDvohYb8i
If you have followed Bobby Lashley outside WWE, especially during his Impact Wrestling run, you would have likely noticed the fact that he is far more talented than we give him credit for, in so many ways. Bobby Lashley is a total beast and if he's kept away from segments about extramarital affairs and sisters, he can be one of the most imposing figures in the WWE roster.
If you follow the @SKProWrestling podcast you'll be fully aware that that is exactly how I expected this to finish.It's too early for him to take the title, but they can't harm his rebuild either because Brock Lesnar is still very much a match that the #WWE want.#WWEBacklash
Unfortunately, he's just not ready to become the WWE Champion yet, even though he is on the right path following his alliance with MVP. I have to say that Bobby Lashley did wonders for his stock on the WWE roster with this performance even though he came up short against the WWE Champion.
We realized at long last that (for those of us who believed he was doomed based on his WWE Champion) that the company believes in Bobby Lashley and the day isn't too far away in the future when he actually holds the strap.
