5 stars who could dethrone Bobby Lashley as WWE Champion

#3 Keith Lee could dethrone Bobby Lashley as WWE Champion

Keith Lee and Bobby Lashley were originally meant to face each other for the United States Championship at this year's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, in a triple threat match that also included Riddle. Lee, sadly, had to pull out of the match due to an injury. Reports suggested that Lee, and not Riddle, was booked to win the US title from Lashley at the pay-per-view.

Lee hasn't been on WWE television since February and has been sidelined due to injury, and there's no indication when he will be back. The former NXT Champion has promised his fans that he will return.

I miss you guys, as well as all the others that expressed this sentiment... whether in dm's, tweets, or comments. I miss you all.But do not fret. I will fight like no other to return...and when I do, we got a LOT of ground to cover. 💜 #Leegion https://t.co/wqhjwu96tB

Lee has had a few explosive moments on WWE television, first at the 2019 Survivor Series and then in the men's Royal Rumble match in 2020.

Bobby Lashley has overpowered most of his opponents with his size, strength and speed. One of the few superstars that can match up with the WWE Champion on these three parameters has to be Keith Lee, who is also incredibly agile for a wrestler his size.

Lee seems to have a lot of fans who are unhappy that he isn't being used on WWE television. A victory over Bobby Lashley to win his first WWE Championship would certainly help fans forget about the time Lee has spent on the sidelines. Lee could perhaps answer another one of Lashley's Open Challenges and defeat the WWE Champion.
