#1 Worst: Not doing Lashley vs. Lesnar

I would not want to be Ricochet right now. That low blow at Royal Rumble has not sat well with Lesnar... naturally. He ran to the ring in what might be record time to hit that F-5. I hope Ricochet is alive at the end of WWE Super ShowDown.#WWE #RAW #WWESuperShowDown pic.twitter.com/tTNsSHJQn9

Having Bobby Lashley square off with Brock Lesnar would have been the right move, in my books at least. I know that both men are heels but this is a dream match that people have wanted for a very long time and I would have loved to see it unfold in Saudi Arabia.

Yes, I know that Ricochet is a very talented performer but can you honestly tell me that you don't know how Brock Lesnar vs. Ricochet is going to go, ladies, and gentlemen? We have seen way too many matches of that nature already from AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and even Finn Balor.

Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar was the big match back when the former finally arrived at WWE from Impact Wrestling and he's been very vocal about wanting the match as well. With all due respect to Ricochet, I don't think even the most casual WWE viewer thinks that he's going to be the one to defeat Brock Lesnar for the title in Saudi Arabia.

Not the best decision from WWE at all.
