#2 Bobby Lashley to face Daniel Bryan in WWE?

As discussed previously, 5-time WWE world champion Daniel Bryan could soon be coming to RAW. Former WWE writer Vince Russo stated that a good way for Bryan to retire would be as the WWE Champion after defeating Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship in a grueling match.

The idea behind the match would be that Lashley is 'killing' Daniel Bryan but can't put him down. Eventually, he runs out of gas and Bryan picks up the win in his final WWE match. Russo said:

''Daniel Bryan goes over in the match, like Lashley’s just exhausted,” Russo added. “Even let him roll out, and then the next night is the big goodbye speech. Let Lashley bust that because now Lashley gives him… remember Apollo Creed [in Rocky II]? ‘I beat that man like I’ve never beaten before and he kept coming [back].’ Let him give that speech.''

Russo added that Bobby Lashley could turn babyface after his loss to Daniel Bryan, which would set up MVP aligning with Drew McIntyre. Lashley and McIntyre could then have a rematch at WrestleMania 38 but with The All Mighty as the babyface.
