5 things that could happen if Bobby Lashley becomes WWE Champion

Bobby Lashley is probably having the best run of his career at the moment on WWE RAW. Dropping the United States Championship in a Triple Threat match at Elimination Chamber gave way to a much deserved main event run for the former ECW Champion. Later, on the same PPV, Lashley took down WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, just after the latter had wrestled a grueling match inside the chamber.

His attack helped The Miz cash-in his MITB contract and became the new WWE Champion. On the following episode of WWE RAW, it was revealed that Bobby Lashley would be getting a shot at the title next week, as per the deal he had struck with The A-Lister.

Lashley defeated Braun Strowman in the main event of RAW and is now right on course to become the WWE Champion for the first time in his career. If Bobby Lashley does indeed become the champion, several narrative possibilities could open up on the red brand, on the Road to WrestleMania 37.

Here in this article, we will list five things that could happen if Bobby Lashley becomes WWE Champion. Do share your opinions and thoughts in the comments section below.

#5 A rematch between Bobby Lashley and The Miz could take place at Fastlane 2021

Bobby Lashley was at his threatening best on WWE RAW this week when he issued an ultimatum to The Miz. While the new WWE Champion had promised to give him a shot at the title, he seemingly took a step back on Monday. However, after Lashley warned him, his match was made official, thanks to Shane McMahon.

If The Miz loses his WWE Championship next week he could seek a contractual rematch at Fastlane 2021. With John Morrison at his side, the A-Lister would be hoping to win back the WWE Championship on the Road to WrestleMania 37.

Despite all the outside shenanigans that could happen, there's arguably little chance he'll win the title back from Bobby Lashley. At best, Miz can put up a competitive fight and end his championship aspirations on a resilient note. It would not only clear Lashley's path heading into WrestleMania 37 but also open up doors for some more blockbuster feuds.

#4 Bobby Lashley can take on Riddle in a champion vs champion clash at Fastlane 2021

Bobby Lashley walked into Elimination Chamber as the United States Champion, but it was Riddle who left as the new champion. Thanks to a Triple Threat stipulation, The Original Bro won the match by pinning John Morrison, after removing Lashley from the equation.

In the weeks preceding the PPV, Riddle always came up short with Bobby Lashley and got resoundingly beaten down by him on more than one occasion. However, the US Champion has momentum on his side now. If Lashley wins the WWE Championship next week, The Original Bro can challenge him for a match at Fastlane 2021.

Yes, at Elimination Chamber, Riddle did not get the pin over Lashley, but he did technically defeat him. So it makes sense if he claims a shot at the WWE Championship. While nobody expects Riddle to become the champion, he can at least have a fun encounter with Bobby Lashley.

The two have wrestled countless times over the past few months but never had the match we know they are capable of producing. Fastlane 2021 could be the best stage for them to have a legit barnburner.

#3 The Hurt Business explodes, leading to Cedric Alexander challenging Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship

If Bobby Lashley becomes the new WWE Champion, his Hurt Business stablemates might grow jealous of his main event success. For a couple of months, tensions have been simmering within the stable, and things could blow up sooner than later. Consider the possibility Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin lose their RAW Tag Team Championships in the weeks heading to Fastlane 2021.

If this happens, Cedric Alexander might vent out his frustrations among other members of the stable. It might all lead to Alexander leaving the group and then asking Bobby Lashley for a shot at his title. The champion could readily accept the challenge, to teach Alexander a lesson at Fastlane 2021.

Just like Riddle, it's a given Alexander will not become the WWE Champion. Yet, it is the right opportunity to expose him to the main event scene. The build-up of the feud can feature a civil war within the stable, and the resulting match is bound to be great, considering the talents of both the Superstars.

#2 Brock Lesnar confronts Bobby Lashley and challenges for a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 37

Bobby Lashley squaring off against Brock Lesnar in a one-on-one bout is not just a dream match for several fans, but for Lashley himself. Apparently, the very reason he had signed with WWE back in 2018 was to have a clash against The Beast. However, due to several circumstances, the match never became a reality.

The closest Lashley came to facing Lesnar was when he wrestled a number one contender match against Roman Reigns for a shot at Lesnar's title at SummerSlam 2018. However, this is just the right time to bring back Brock Lesnar and give fans the match they very much desire. Lesnar was last seen on WWE programming at WrestleMania 36, where he lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre.

Fans are wishing to see him back for this year's Mania, and it makes perfect sense for him to go for the WWE Championship again. Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar can legitimately have a world-class encounter that could wow the fans in attendance at WrestleMania 37. Most importantly, considering that time could be running out on Lesnar's in-ring career, this could be WWE's last shot at giving us this match.

#1 Drew McIntyre challenges Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 37

It's abundantly clear that Bobby Lashley vs Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship is the direction WWE could be heading. The build-up to their feud already started at Elimination Chamber, where Lashley cost McIntyre his WWE Championship.

Once Bobby Lashley wins the title, The Scottish Warrior can show up to challenge him. Many have said it makes no sense for this match to happen at WrestleMania 37, as they already collided for the title last year at Backlash 2020. However, the match makes all the sense in the world as it's pitting the best-booked babyface on RAW against arguably the best-booked heel.

It's a logical choice, and Bobby Lashley is quite possibly the best opponent for Drew McIntyre to defeat and get his WrestleMania moment this year. Yes, it would make Lashley's reign purely transitional, but it makes a lot of sense from a storytelling standpoint.

In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 37, McIntyre can be booked as an underdog fighting the odds against Lashley. It would make McIntyre's title win at The Grandest Stage of Them All even more rewarding.
