Bobby Lashley achieved almost everything in his first run with WWE, from winning the United States Championship to being the third African American World Champion in the company's history. Not to forget, he represented Donald Trump in a huge match at WrestleMania 23, fighting Vince McMahon's representative, Umaga, in what was famously known as the Battle of Billionaires.
However, after being released from the wrestling entertainment behemoth in 2008, Bobby Lashley took himself to another level, pursuing a career in MMA. Coming off his successful runs from MMA and TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, Lashley returned to WWE in 2018.
While there were many downs in his second WWE run, an association with MVP led to Lashley achieving what he always deserved — the WWE Championship.
