WWE News Roundup: 734-day streak ends; released star breaks silence; Bobby Lashley on beating Brock Lesnar (January 30, 2022)

#3. Bobby Lashley comments on his "beautiful" WWE Championship victory over Brock Lesnar

At WWE Royal Rumble 2022, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley's dream match featured a significant world title change. Thanks to Roman Reigns' interference and a betrayal by Paul Heyman, Lesnar lost the gold to his opponent.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani of BT Sport after the bout, Lashley described the win from his point of view, without mentioning Reigns and Heyman's involvement.

"It was one of the greatest moments. We talked about it this week, beating Brock Lesnar is a big step in my career. And going out there, the main thing I wanted to do as a fighter, I wanted to see what he had. Everybody knows Brock's gonna throw you around a lot, he's gonna hit the F5. He's gonna try to beat you up, he's gonna try to beat you down. I wanted to see if I can take everything that he had. And I did. I took everything he had and then I pinned him at the end. So, of course this is a beautiful victory for me." [0:19-0:46]

Bobby Lashley added that the first suplex he received from Brock Lesnar almost knocked him out, but he soon recovered to triumph over The Beast Incarnate.

Lesnar, however, would not sit back after the loss and went on to win the Royal Rumble match at the end of the night.
