5 Reasons why Brock Lesnar should challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 37

#2 Bobby Lashley has wanted a match against Brock Lesnar for a long time now

It has been almost a year since Brock Lesnar left WWE. Since then, Bobby Lashley has talked about a possible match against The Beast on numerous occasions. Lashley has put out tweets, has given interviews, and done everything possible to get a match with Brock Lesnar.

Lashley recently stated that if Brock Lesnar comes back to WWE, he will need to work his way up to the WWE Championship picture:

"If Brock wants to be back in the picture, Brock is gonna have to work his way back up to the title shoot as there is a lot of people waiting at the front door: myself, Braun, The Miz, and several other people that want to have their shot at the title, so he is not the man. Of course, that fight, everybody would love to have some time in my career just because of the similarities between Brock and I. But at the end of the day, if Brock comes back, I welcome that challenge, but it is up to him."

Once I’m done taking out this Brock wannabe, as I’ve said for YEARS, I’ll take Lesnar whenever, wherever. https://t.co/lfEp2niOvT

Brock Lesnar wouldn't take words like these lightly, would want to make a statement at the expense of Lashley. The All-Mighty has been hyping up this match for a long time now, even before he returned to WWE. When Lashley won the WWE title by beating The Miz, Brock Lesnar's name began trending on Twitter, with fans wanting to see a match pitting the duo. Here's hoping Lashley, and the fans, get their wish come WrestleMania.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
