5 Reasons why Bobby Lashley shouldn't challenge for the WWE Championship

#3 Bobby Lashley hasn't had a major feud since his return

Bobby Lashley made his return to WWE in 2018 to roars of the WWE fans. But sadly, he hasn't had a major rivalry since then. On the night of his return, he interrupted and beat down Elias while the WWE Universe chanted, "Welcome back".

He was a part of many tag team matches that led to a feud with Sami Zayn that wasn't well-received by the fans. The feud ended up as a comedy act that did nothing good for neither Lashley nor Zayn. After his feud with Zayn ended, it looked like WWE was building him up to challenge for the Universal Championship when he beat Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules 2018. This didn't lead to much as he lost to Reigns in a number one contender's match at SummerSlam.

He has, however, captured the Intercontinental Championship on two occasions but his reigns lasted for a miserly 34 and 27 days, respectively. Just when you'd think Lashley was one who would take WWE to newer territories, he is put back in unconvincing storylines.

Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
