Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE after a decade away on the RAW after WrestleMania 34 to a lukewarm response from the fans, and sadly the former ECW Champion hasn't been able to get a strong footing on the red brand. Apart from his short-lived feud against Roman Reigns, Lashley hasn't done anything substantial or had a long-term feud ever since returning to the company.

Even his heel turn has fallen flat as Lashley has booked in meaningless TV matches, most of which he has ended up losing. When you remember his unbearable feud against Sami Zayn, you'll exactly know why the Dominator has failed to click with the WWE Universe.

Many thought that a heel turn would eventually get the former Impact World Champion on track, but that hasn't been the case so far. Although his pairing with Lio Rush and the duo's chemistry on screen has received praise from all quarters, Lashley's character hasn't been enticing enough to get the fans excited.

WWE has a lot of work to do when it comes to Lashley and his character. Lashley is a great athlete but the company hasn't utilized him properly. One just needs to look at his work in Impact to gauge how great of a performer Lashley is.

But with that being said, we believe winning the IC title could be the first step in the resurrection of his character and would pave the way to the main event for the former Collegiate Wrestler.
