"Don't blame Brock for saying no to doing this feud" - Fans upset with Bobby Lashley and Uncle Howdy's segment on WWE SmackDown

Fans were far from pleased with Bobby Lashley and Uncle Howdy's segment from this week's WWE SmackDown.

Lashley's feud with Wyatt hasn't been well received so far, as it was set up without properly resolving The All Mighty's rivalry with Brock Lesnar. The former WWE Champion made an unannounced appearance on this week's SmackDown, where he challenged Bray Wyatt to come face-to-face with him. Instead of Wyatt, Uncle Howdy showed up, but Lashley was quick enough to take him down,

However, just as Bobby Lashley was about to hit a Spear, the lights went off, and Uncle Howdy disappeared. Though the live crowd reactions were loud for the segment, it doesn't seem to have struck a chord with viewers on Twitter.

Fans came out in droves to criticize the feud in the comments section of the clip of the segment shared by WWE's official Twitter handle.

A few blasted the promotion for booking a feud without any strong foundation. On the other hand, other users mentioned how Brock Lesnar was wise enough to turn down the pitch to have a rivalry with Bray Wyatt.

Bill Apter is also not a fan of Bobby Lashley and Bray Wyatt's WWE feud

On Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Bill Apter mentioned a feud between Wyatt and Lashley made very little sense to him.

The veteran journalist felt The All Mighty wasn't the right fit for such a supernatural-driven storyline and even pointed out that he came across as stiff during his segment with Wyatt on this week's RAW.

Apter also speculated that Lashley might not enjoy his current direction in WWE.

"In my opinion, to put Bobby Lashley in these scenarios with Bray Wyatt makes very little sense. I just think it's the wrong guys in the wrong storyline. I don't think Lashley belongs in the Funhouse. If you watched him walking down the aisle on Monday Night RAW and he was watching all those silly videos they made, he didn't really know how to react. I don't think Lashley belongs in that storyline. And I don't think he's crazy about it. But you have to do what the company wants," said Bill Apter.

Bobby Lashley and Bray Wyatt's slow-burning feud could result in the two megastars clashing at WWE WrestleMania 39.
