Before Bobby Lashley signed with WWE for his most recent run, he was hounded by fans on social media about a possible match against Brock Lesnar somewhere down the line. Unfortunately, the kind of booking that Bobby Lashley was subjected to, with Lana and Rusev (and Liv Morgan thrown in, for extra measure) was embarrassing to say the least, and his credibility as a WWE and MMA crossover star, at par with Brock Lesnar, began to wane with every passing week.

MVP has done a commendable job in rebuilding Bobby Lashley as a legitimate star in The Hurt Business, an MMA powerhouse who can potentially reign supreme in the absence of Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey from WWE, the king of RAW Underground, in a sense. And when/if Brock Lesnar does return to WWE, the new version of Bobby Lashley that will confront him will be a significantly more intimidating than Lana's husband, or at least one hopes for such.
