Bobby Lashley is one of WWE's top stars and has put some fun feuds throughout two runs in the company.

Bobby Lashley had a banner year in 2021 after 15 years since his WWE debut. The All Mighty entered the year as the United States Champion and continued his reign with MVP and the Hurt Business by his side. In March, Lashley scored his biggest win by defeating The Miz for the WWE Championship.

The All Mighty stood on top of the Raw mountaintop for six months until Big E cashed in his Money In The Bank contract to win the WWE Title. Lashley has firmly remained a top star for the promotion since then. 2022 should hold more success for the former WWE Champion, but can he match the greatness of some of his past rivalries?

Bobby Lashley has had two separate runs in WWE with plenty of tough opponents along the way. He has held the United States and Intercontinental Championships on two occasions each. His rivalries have reached certain levels of quality over his career. In this article, let's take a look at the five greatest feuds Bobby Lashley has had in WWE.


5) Bobby Lashley vs. Goldberg

Bobby Lashley's awesome WWE Championship reign was riding high coming into the summer of 2021. Goldberg returned to the company and set his sights on the only prize he has been unable to claim. The WWE Hall of Famer confronted the All Mighty WWE Champion and challenged him to a match at SummerSlam 2021.

At the biggest party of the summer, Lashley defeated Goldberg via referee stoppage after the champion attacked the challenger's leg until he couldn't stand. The post-match outing made this feud personal when Goldberg's son Gage jumped on Bobby Lashley's back to stop his attack. The All Mighty chucked him off and applied the Hurt Lock to the young man.

Bobby Lashley crossed the line here and Goldberg wanted revenge. The former WCW Heavyweight Champion vowed to kill Lashley and challenged him to a No Holds Barred Match at Crown Jewel 2021. The two men met in a physically intense brawl that went all over ringside. Goldberg defeated Lashley with a spear off the stage through a table to finally settle the score.

4) Bobby Lashley vs. Finlay

Bobby Lashley debuted for WWE in the fall of 2005 with plenty of hype based on his impressive physique and being billed as a well-decorated amateur wrestler. The beginning stages of his run saw him show off his spectacular strength, but he didn't have anything to sink his teeth into until Lashley suffered his first loss thanks to Finlay.

The two clashed for the next several months in 2006. They faced each other in a lumberjack match and then were both in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania 22. Bobby Lashley and Finlay feuded more when the Belfast Bruiser joined King Booker's Court. Finlay can take credit for helping season the All Mighty in the early portion of his career.


3) Bobby Lashley vs. Braun Strowman

Bobby Lashley faced many ups and downs during his return to the WWE in 2018. The company didn't utilized him like a top star and put the All Mighty in a random tag team with Braun Strowman within a month of his comeback. The two men would be two of the three sole survivors for Team Raw at Survivor Series that same year.

Tensions rose between the two superstars in 2019. The two men cost each other opportunities at the United States Title before a crazy Last Man Standing clash at Extreme Rules, which Braun won. They crossed paths in 2021 when Bobby Lashley defeated Braun and Drew McIntyre in a Triple Threat to retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash.

2) Bobby Lashley vs. Vince McMahon

During his initial run in WWE, Bobby Lashley achieved his biggest win at WrestleMania 23 in a Hair vs. Hair Match against Umaga with Vince McMahon and Donald Trump in each superstar's corner. The win drew the disdain of Mr. McMahon, who vowed to make Lashley's life a living hell.

Vince did just that when McMahon beat Lashley for the ECW Championship with the help of his son Shane and the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga. McMahon's run with the title was the death of ECW for good, but it did give Bobby Lashley a huge obstacle to overcome in his rise up the ranks.

The All Mighty beat Vince McMahon to regain the ECW Championship in a Street Fight at One Night Stand 2007. WWE believed that placing Bobby Lashley in a rivalry with the chairman was the best way to get him over. It didn't quite work as well as the promotion hoped, but it did deliver one of Lashley's greatest rivals of his career.


1) Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre

Bobby Lashley aligned with MVP following WrestleMania 36. MVP helped Lashley get his first one-on-one WWE Championship Match in 13 years against Drew McIntyre at Backlash 2020. The two men put on a physical battle that McIntyre won, but this wouldn't be the last time they would be rivals.

The All Mighty lost the United States Championship at Elimination Chamber 2021, but he seemed to change his focus quickly. Lashley attacked WWE Champion Drew McIntyre following his win in the Elimination Chamber Match and allowed The Miz to cash in his Money In The Bank contract to win the WWE Title.

Fans found out that this was just an ends to a means when Bobby Lashley defeated The Miz eight days later to win the WWE Championship. The era of the All Mighty WWE Champion was born! Drew McIntyre was now on the hunt and challenged Lashley for the title at WrestleMania 37.

Many expected Drew to regain his gold at the first WWE event with live fans in attendance in well over a year. However, Lashley defeated the Scottish Warrior to retain the title. This didn't end their issues as Drew McIntyre continued to challenge for the top prize on Raw.

Bobby Lashley defeated McIntyre and Braun Strowman in a fantastic Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania Backlash. The All Mighty believed that he was done with Drew, but he had one last challenge for him. They faced off inside the Hell In A Cell with Lashley winning yet again thanks to MVP. With this loss, Drew McIntyre could never get another shot at the WWE Championship as long as Lashley was champ.

These two superstars had tremendous chemistry with one another. Lashley and McIntyre always produced hard-hitting clashes that entertained. Their battles helped complete the elevation of the All Mighty and make him a main eventer in WWE at long last. That's why Drew McIntyre is the greatest feud Bobby Lashley has had in WWE.
