Having had the honor of chatting with Bobby Lashley in the past on multiple occasions, I have to admit that even while he's doing well in his role, he's always wanted to be showcased as a fighting machine who can go toe-to-toe with a beast like Brock Lesnar. The problem with Lashley is that he's just been a heel for most of his WWE run and also, most of his Impact Wrestling run, and so it is near impossible to imagine him as a babyface.

All of this could change if we see Brock Lesnar taking down everyone in the Royal Rumble match, only to have Bobby Lashley show up and eliminate The Beast. The audience would then realize that the big plan for WrestleMania is to have Bobby Lashley take on Brock Lesnar, two freaks of nature with genuine MMA backgrounds, for a match people have wanted to see for over a decade.
Lashley could also drop Lana as his mouthpiece and thereby, become a total babyface.
