WWE News Roundup: Returning star addresses fan criticism, Top babyface teams up with Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns' message to his rival (January 23, 2022)

#1. MVP has a prediction about Bobby Lashley's future challenger in WWE

With Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley's dream match on the horizon, MVP believes the latter will emerge from their clash as the new WWE Champion.

Speaking on Corey Graves' After the Bell podcast, he also predicted that the Road to WrestleMania 38 could see Lashley crossing paths with Big E.

"Big E could be that if he could find that internal switch to say, 'Okay. Now, I'm laughing. I'm having fun. But now, it's time to also be a beast.' And his road to WrestleMania, I predict, finds this way to Lashley. Because I believe Bobby Lashley, the All Mighty will beat Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, and he will take back the WWE Championship," said MVP.

Big E and The All Mighty went one-on-one against each other a few times last year. The New Day member won his first world championship on the main roster by defeating Lashley in September 2021, and both men even crossed paths as part of a multi-man feud heading into the Day 1 event.

Of course, Big E also has ties to Brock Lesnar, who dethroned him from the top of RAW earlier this month. So regardless of who emerges as the red brand's top champion at Royal Rumble, the 35-year-old star could realistically enter the world title picture again.
