The entire WWE Universe was shocked when Bobby Lashley returned to the company on the 9th April Episode of RAW. He took out Elias and thus made it clear that he is going to dominate and decimate his opponents.
Lashley has wrestled for various pro-wrestling promotions across the globe and has won several Championships. The WWE Universe is wondering what Lashley can achieve in the upcoming months of his career.
A player of his calibre certainly has the merits for main-event matches and Championship pursuits. So, here are five possible story-lines and feuds that Bobby Lashley can be booked in.
#5 Bobby Lashley as a heel
WWE has always projected Lashley as a face. His fans never got to see the other side of Lashley. For once, the WWE can choose to show Lashley as a heel or villain.
This could be very interesting. The creative team of WWE can generate various story-lines and feuds if they bring out a villainous Bobby Lashley. Not only the fans will be eager to see a new Bobby Lashley, it could also be a great move in the long term.
A villainous Bobby Lashley can steal the spotlight by attacking several superstars. This will garner more crowd reactions and thus create new pathways in the WWE.
#4 Bobby Lashley feuds with Elias
Bobby Lashley made an emphatic statement on RAW when he came back to WWE on 9th April and attacked Elias. It was quite evident that both these superstars do not like each other. Bobby Lashley delivered a neck-breaker to Elias followed by a delayed vertical suplex. He made it clear that he will crush any wrestler who stands against him in the ring.
However, Elias has also made it evident that he won't take the incident lightly and will retaliate back when he feels so. Both these superstars are outstanding athletes and a feud between them would be fabulous.
Lashley is a former World Champion and Elias has defeated some of the biggest names in the WWE including John Cena and Braun Strowman. Despite being a Heel, Elias has an outstanding fan following. Thus, a rivalry between these two superstars would be a treat for the entire WWE Universe.
WWE should use this opportunity to ignite the conflict. They both can compete against one another in several special matches and that would generate interest in the long run.
#3 Bobby Lashley as the winner of the Greatest Royal Rumble
Bobby Lashley can make an outstanding statement for himself in front of the entire WWE Universe if he participates and wins the Greatest Royal Rumble match. This is the first time in history that any Royal Rumble will feature 50 superstars.
Till date, Lashley has never won any Royal Rumble match. Though he owns several records on his resume, winning this particular match would take his career to the next level.
It would be very exciting if he enters at the number one position and goes on to win the contest. The WWE Universe would love to see that happen.
#2 Bobby Lashley as the Intercontinental Champion
The Intercontinental Championship is one of the classic WWE titles. Though Lashley is a former two-time ECW Champion and also a former United States Champion, he has never won the prestigious Intercontinental Championship.
Recently, Seth Rollins won the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania against the Miz and Finn Balor. He will defend his title at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV in a ladder match against Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, and the Miz. Bobby Lashley can challenge the winner of that match for the Intercontinental title.
If Lashley can win the Intercontinental title, he will perhaps become the most dominant Intercontinental Champion ever. This will be a huge rise in his career graph. He can defend his title against several superstars and could main-event various shows and PPVs. WWE should utilize his talent and crown him as the next Intercontinental Champion.
#1 Bobby Lashley as the Universal Champion
Bobby Lashley has won the ECW World Championship twice in the WWE. During his tenure as champion, he has proved to the world that he is a fighting machine and would do anything to hold on to his title. However, the Universal title is one such World Championship, which Lashley is yet to wear around his waist.
A clash between Lashley and the current Universal Champion Brock Lesnar would be a terrific contest. Lashley has all the skills and talent to be an outstanding World Champion. If he wins the Universal title, he would become the first person to have ever held the ECW and the Universal Championship in the WWE.
