#4. Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley are two of WWE's best heavyweights in the modern era

Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley was certainly a match the WWE Universe didn't want to pass by without ever happening.

Looking at WWE's roster over the last few years or so, it's clear to see why. Both men are by far two of the best heavyweights the company has had under contract in recent memory. Both men not only wield raw strength, but also immense agility and technical ability. It would have been foolish not to let the two behemoths tear it up in the ring at least once.

There's no denying a match of this caliber is WrestleMania worthy. We are certainly in for a treat at the Royal Rumble if the company allows them to go all out.


#3. Bobby Lashley was promised a blockbuster match with Brock Lesnar when he returned in 2018

As always with WWE, the card is subject to change. That's exactly what happened when Bobby Lashley returned to WWE in 2018.

Lashley had been away from Vince McMahon's promotion for a number of years, but was convinced to eventually return. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that when he re-signed, Lashley was promised a match with Brock Lesnar.

However, the match never materialized, until now. The promise that was made four years ago will now be fulfilled and Bobby Lashley will get his wish.
