WWE Champion, The Miz is scheduled to face Bobby Lashley on WWE RAW next Monday. This is genuinely a tough match to call. Will the reign of the WWE Champion come to an end prematurely? Or will Bobby Lashley destroy The Miz to become the new WWE Champion?

One has to remember that Bobby Lashley has been the beneficiary of a major push on WWE RAW, where he's been made to look absolutely bulletproof. If he loses this match, it may curtail his momentum at once.

WWE has the opportunity to build Bobby Lashley in the same way that they created a monster in Brock Lesnar. Bobby Lashley has the look, the physique, and the ability to be the monster heel that he was in TNA, in WWE as well, with MVP as his Paul Heyman.

Yes, a loss to WWE Champion, The Miz, even by spurious means does a lot to negate his current equity.
