Brock Lesnar recently reclaimed the Universal Championship - a title he held on to for a record 504 days back before being dethroned by Roman Reigns at Summerslam, 2018. Fast track to Extreme Rules, 2019, Brock Lesnar successfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract as he pinned a broken Seth Rollins to win the Universal title for the 3rd time in his career.

The Beast is back at the very top and it won’t be wrong to anticipate fresh rivalries for the champ once his beef with Seth Rollins is settled. Many names pop up when it comes to probable opponents for Brock Lesnar and one such name is of Bobby Lashley.

Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley will certainly be a mouth-watering affair and there are a lot of reasons to support the aforementioned proposal. But WWE is the land of surprises and where some turn out to be utterly intriguing, the others often prove to be duds!

Here we list down 3 reasons why WWE should make Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley happen and 2 why they shouldn’t...


#1 Why they should: Battle of equals

Will it happen?
Will it happen?

Brock Lesnar is one of a kind superstar and its no secret that the Beast Incarnate possesses a dominant record in all his endeavours till date. Brock Lesnar embarked his WWE career back in 2002 and went on to conquer the locker room before departing to UFC.

The Beast returned to WWE in 2012 and has been associated with the company ever since.

Coming to Lashley, The Almighty has had a similar path as he took some time off WWE to try his luck in the world of mixed martial arts. He returned to the company in 2018 and has been finding his way since then.

When you look at these 2 men, one thing is for sure that these two monsters are at par with each other as far as brute strength is considered.

Ardent fans of the company weren't too happy with Brock Lesnar's matches as they turned out to be a one-sided affair but that won't be the case when The Beast Incarnate steps in the ring with Bobby Lashley.

One major reason why the avid fans keenly await this match is that both these phenomenal athletes are capable of delivering a close contest.

#1 Why they shouldn't: Both lack mic skills

Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley are two freaks of nature who can dismantle any opponent with ease. Both these men are good at a lot of things but if there is one thing at which both these Goliaths lack, it is mic skills.

Brock Lesnar isn’t known to be a massive promo guy or someone who will grab the mic and give us all goosebumps with his words. The same can be said about Bobby Lashley.

Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley at WWE might come with its share of OMG moments but there is one thing for sure: this rivalry will turn out to be a lacklustre one as far mic skills are concerned.

While Brock Lesnar does have Paul Heyman by his side, who is a bonafide legend on the mic, Bobby Lashley, on the other hand, is a one-man wrecking crew who excels at a lot of things but mic-skills aren't one of them.

#2 Why they should: First Time Ever

First time ever
First time ever

WWE is the land where dreams come true and witnessing Brock Lesnar clash with Bobby Lashley continues to be a dream for ardent followers of the company.

Not many superstars possess the goods to match Brock Lesnar's strength but Bobby Lashley falls in the rare bracket. The Almighty is one of the most physically aesthetic superstars on the roster and along with his impressive physique, he holds every weapon in his arsenal to be considered among the strongest lads on either brand.

Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley are yet to face each other in the squared circle which makes this highly anticipated bout all the more mouth-watering. Brock Lesnar is a fierce competitor who is known to finish off his opponents but Bobby Lashley remains one of the toughest athletes of the company and it will be fascinating to watch these two brawny superstars collide for the very first time!

#2 Why they shouldn't: Both possess heel personas

A battle of heels?
A battle of heels?

Brock Lesnar is one of the baddest guys on the planet and the Beast Incarnate has surely been one heck of a heel for all his WWE career. His villainous aura has a sort of unique appeal to it which is what makes Brock Lesnar a true legend of the game.

Bobby Lashley, on the other hand, can be rightly termed as a natural heel. When Bobby Lashley returned to the company in 2018, he seemed set for a face run but it just didn’t fit well with Bobby Lashley’s personality.

Pitting Bobby Lashley against Brock Lesnar might have its set of perks but the fact that both these gentlemen are heels does become a hindrance in planning this matchup.

WWE management hasn't been too fond of pitting two heels against each other, which means that one of these two goliaths will have to turn face, which may not be well received by the WWE enthusiasts.

#3 Why the should: Give Bobby Lashley a taste of the main event scene

Bobby Lashley returned to the company in 2018 with a lot of promise, courtesy of his deeds away from WWE. But looking at his time with the company, it has sort of been filled with ups and downs.

Bobby Lashley has won the prestigious Intercontinental title twice in his second stint with the company but is yet to feature in the main event picture. A feud with someone as massive as Brock Lesnar guarantees a spot in the main event scene because that is where Brock Lesnar parks his car.

Bobby Lashley's recent rivalry with Braun Strowman was well appreciated by the WWE as The Almighty matched The Monster Among Men move for move and strength for strength.

A matchup with The Beast Incarnate will help Bobby Lashley's career in a tremendous way as he will finally get a chance to fight for the big prize!
