6 WWE stars Bobby Lashley could face after SummerSlam 2021

#5 Randy Orton vs Bobby Lashley

Randy Orton could be gunning for his 15th world title soon

Bobby Lashley has faced a few former WWE Champions since winning the title, including Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston. Another former WWE Champion who could be waiting in the wings to challenge Lashley is Randy Orton.

Orton added yet another title to his long list of achievements when he claimed the RAW Tag Team titles for the first time with Riddle at SummerSlam. The Viper has previously won the SmackDown Tag Team titles and World Tag Team titles, but this is the first time he's laid hands on the Red brand's tag team championship.

While things appear rosy between him and Riddle at the moment, a heel turn or betrayal may not be too far away. If Orton does end up splitting with Riddle and feuding with him, it could lead to him then challenging WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.

A feud between him and Lashley could be a great way for the latter to add to his credibility as world champion.

Lashley has defeated a few former champions and a rivalry with a legend like Orton will only make him stronger in the eyes of the fans, who seem to like his new persona.
