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

#1 An amazing opportunity to make a big star out of Bobby Lashley with a win over Brock Lesnar

Last year, Brock Lesnar's WWE Championship loss at WrestleMania 36 turned Drew McIntyre into a huge star. Lesnar had been built up as an unstoppable monster for a long time at that point, and him falling prey to McIntyre made for a great story for The Scottish Psychopath. McIntyre kept getting better with each passing month and had two dominant reigns as WWE Champion.

Now, WWE has the opportunity to repeat last year's story and turn Bobby Lashley into a big star at WrestleMania 37. If WWE gives the fans a Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar match at WrestleMania, with the former coming out victorious, it will turn him into the most dangerous entity on WWE TV.

Drew McIntyre Appreciation Post.One of the absolute best in Wrestling today! An extremely amazing babyface. I enjoyed both of his WWE Championship reigns. He's been doing so amazing since last year's Rumble and deserves a LOT more recognition and respect.🐐💖1/2 pic.twitter.com/uKNUX3AoqB

Brock Lesnar is a part-timer, while Lashley is out there on WWE TV every single week. A big over Lesnar is bound to benefit both Lashley as well as WWE, as the company would get to capitalize on Lashley's win over Lesnar for the next few years.

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.
