5 next opponents for WWE Champion Bobby Lashley 

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley successfully defended his title against former world champion Kofi Kingston at Money in the Bank. It was one of the most one-sided and dominant displays we've seen from a champion against a legitimate challenger for some time.

The Almighty Bobby Lashley has been an impressive champion on Monday Night RAW and he's definitely stepped up his game to the point where he's running out of believable challengers.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't believable challengers out there. In fact, WWE could easily have a number of WWE Superstars step up to challenge the Hurt Business star.

Here are five WWE Superstars who could be Bobby Lashley's next opponents.

#5. John Cena is returning to WWE RAW and could surprise everyone by challenging Bobby Lashley instead of Roman Reigns

John Cena received one of the loudest pops in the last few years of WWE television when he showed up at the end of Money in the Bank to confront SmackDown's Universal Champion, Roman Reigns.

The Leader of the Cenation then announced after the show that he'd be kicking off Monday Night RAW and would be revealing his motivation behind his return to WWE.

So, naturally it seems that Cena is going to challenge Reigns at SummerSlam. But what if WWE pulls a swerve and has Cena challenge Bobby Lashley on Monday Night RAW instead?

Lashley vs. Cena has been done before, but we've never seen a Bobby Lashley this good in WWE before, making the prospect of a match between him and Cena quite an inviting one.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is reportedly in line to challenge Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley has certainly been a dominant force, and he needs an opponent that will be his equal. In his prime, Goldberg was the most dominant force in all of professional wrestling. He's a bit past his prime now, but he's still a worthy opponent.

A lot of people don't like it when Goldberg swoops in and gets one of his bi-annual title matches. But who wouldn't want to see a slobberknocker between these two heavyweights of wrestling?

I'm all for it, providing that Bobby Lashley wins his match against Goldberg because as much as I'm defending him, he definitely doesn't deserve another world title reign.

#3. Bobby Lashley finally gets the Brock Lesnar match he's been asking for

Speaking of Goldberg, is it finally time for us to get a match between Bobby Lashley and the man Goldberg beat, Brock Lesnar, that the Almighty has been campaigning to get for some time now. With fans wanting it almost as much as he does?

It unfortunately doesn't seem likely, with rumors suggesting it would happen at SummerSlam, but new reports stating that WWE has opted not to do Lesnar vs. Lashley on the big summer show.

But perhaps that's because they're planning on doing it sooner? One can only dream of WWE pulling a huge surprise, and doing Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar on Monday Night RAW. It's extremely unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

#2. Keith Lee returns to take on Bobby Lashley

RAW has a ton of talent, but not very many members of the red brand would be able to justifiably become #1 contender for the Bobby Lashley's WWE Title. But one option that WWE has is to bring back the incredibly popular charisma machine Keith Lee.

Lee was poised for greatness before his unexplained and prolonged absence from WWE. It would be great to see him overcome whatever it is that's keeping him away and returning to the company to claim that greatness and cement himself as a top star with a brilliant feud against The Dominator.

It also makes sense storyline-wise considering that Lashley is the one who put Lee on the shelf. Lee coming back to get revenge and challenging for the WWE Title simply works.

#1. Big E cashes in the Money in the Bank briefcase against Bobby Lashley

Big E finally got a crowning moment in WWE on his own by winning the Money in the Bank Ladder match and I truly hope that he, like Kofi Kingston and KofiMania, truly gets his world title run.

I believe we could be seeing it right now and I'm hoping it involves Bobby Lashley. We've seen the Almight brutalized both members of The New Day on RAW, with Xavier Woods getting beat down in a Hell in a Cell match, and Kofi Kingston getting mauled at Money in the Bank.

Big E defending his New Day teammates and being the one WWE Superstar who can match Bobby Lashley's level to confront him and eventually go on to beat him is the perfect story for his crowning moment.
