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

#1 A loss will send Bobby Lashley spiraling down

Bobby Lashley's career in the WWE since his return hasn't peaked yet. Some may say that giving him a shot at the WWE Title would be the right path to elevating him to the main event scene. But on the contrary, pitting Lashley against a fan favorite, such as Drew McIntyre, who has an emotional connect with the audience, would only spur bad news for Lashley.

Even if Lashley does contest for the WWE Championship and loses, he will become an afterthought and will be lost in the mix again. Now that he has MVP on his side, Lashley can look to grabbing the attention of the audience and reinventing himself as a monstrous heel, like Brock Lesnar.

A face-off between Lashley and McIntyre would garner more views and would be a more riveting contest than what it would be now. This seems to be the only way that WWE can build the feud of these two behemoths and milk its payout when the time is right.

Even though he doesn't work at Sportskeeda on a full-time basis, writing about wrestling keeps his passion for the sport alive. He reports on important updates from wrestlers and rumors from trustworthy sources.

Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.

He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.

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.
