#4 Damian Priest could dethrone Bobby Lashley as WWE Champion
Bobby Lashley's reign as WWE Champion could possibly help push a younger superstar, someone like Damian Priest. Priest has ascended quickly in WWE since signing for the company in 2018. After three years at NXT, where he won the North American Championship once, Priest was called up to the main roster earlier this year.
He put on a strong showing in the men's Royal Rumble match, eliminating four Superstars - the joint-highest in the match. Priest then joined forces with Bad Bunny, and the two teamed up to face The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37 and delivered an exciting match.
The former NXT star then defeated The Miz at WrestleMania Backlash in a Lumberjack match, which will be mostly remembered for the zombies.
It seems that WWE sees a lot of promise in Priest, who could perhaps be pushed right to the top and face Bobby Lashley sometime later this year. There's already a backstory in place for a potential match between Damian Priest and Bobby Lashley in the future as the WWE Champion eliminated Priest at Royal Rumble earlier this year.
Both women's title holders, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, are young superstars who won the titles this year, which perhaps indicates that WWE wants to build new stars. What better way to build a new star than defeating an all-conquering champion like Bobby Lashley?
