WWE SummerSlam: The Top 5 Candidates To Face Brock Lesnar For The Universal Championship

#2 Bobby Lashley

Lashley vs Lesnar is a match that they’ve been dying to see for years by this point

Let’s be honest. Upon returning to the WWE after this year’s WrestleMania, Bobby Lashley has been used pretty awfully across the board. Remember that feud with Sami Zayn? Yeesh, that was bad!

Following his destruction of Zayn, Lashley’s attention was switched to Roman Reigns. After both guys initially coming off as hugely unlikeable – despite both being positioned as babyfaces – Lashley has finally picked up a little steam as that rivalry has played out. Is it enough to put him in Lesnar’s crosshairs, though? We’ll have to wait and see.

To some fans, Lashley vs Lesnar is a match that they’ve been dying to see for years by this point. With both being freaks of nature in terms of strength, agility, and physiques, the two are also 100% legit when it comes to being tough as nails – as reflected by their careers in the MMA field.

In the world of MMA, Lesnar is clearly the far better fighter, as shown by his huge success in UFC in comparison to Lashley’s impressive record in the lesser Bellator.

Despite that, seeing these two monstrous men locking up in the squared circle is something that many fans would be hugely eager to see; particularly with Lesnar’s seemingly imminent WWE departure.
