Bobby Lashley vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship would have been a match that's impossible to call because it could have gone either way.
Let's be honest. Bobby Lashley cannot go from Drew McIntyre to someone like Angel Garza (considering how both men have been booked). He will need a WWE Championship contender who's at the same level as Drew McIntyre and Samoa Joe would have fit the bill perfectly.

Both men have an MMA-inspired style as well, which would have translated wonderfully into a professional wrestling environment.
Also, if you thought that the thought of a Paul Heyman vs. Samoa Joe battle was enticing, imagine the magic Joe and MVP could create! Both are masters at cutting promos and the back-and-forth between both stars in a WWE ring would have been absolute fire.
It's a tragedy that Samoa Joe and Bobby Lashley never got to work together to elevate the prestige of the WWE Championship. Such an absolute tragedy!
