5 WWE superstars who won titles in other sports

#4 Bobby Lashley – MMA

Oh, what could’ve been. If WWE were to have taken a page out of TNA’s booking playbook when it comes to Lashley, they might have had a global Superstar on their hands.

Lashley has also captured Heavyweight MMA Championships for Shark Fights and XFN, in addition to being a top 10 contender within Bellator’s heavyweight division.
