Big E defeated Bobby Lashley to become the new WWE Champion

#4 What's next for former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley?

Lashley lost the WWE Championship to Big E on RAW this week. As per reports from Cageside Seats, there is some speculation that WWE could revive The Hurt Business to feud with The New Day going forward.

Bobby Lashley's manager, MVP posted a picture with Shelton Benjamin, and the image further fueled the fire about this possibility. Ever since the four men split up, Benjamin and Cedric Alexander have done nothing of note.

As a result, having the former WWE RAW Tag Team Champions align with Lashley again would likely help boost their careers. It will also give Lashley a fresh vibe, and the feud between two factions could make RAW highly entertaining.

Rumors suggested that Vince McMahon wanted to pair Adam Cole and Keith Lee on the main roster. It was said that McMahon wanted Cole in a managerial role in which he would help Lee build some steam on RAW.

However, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has said that many sources have denied any such plans. It was previously believed that Cole's unhappiness with these plans was a factor in his decision to join AEW. But with this new update, fans can rule out this idea.

Adam Cole made a big splash in AEW when he debuted on the All Out pay-per-view. Meanwhile, Keith Lee is still not being used on WWE programming.
