#1. Why Bobby Lashley should retain: He deserves more than a transitional WWE Title reign

While Bobby Lashley's momentum could halt post-WrestleMania, that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a long Championship reign. Bobby Lashley has been in the wrestling industry for well over a decade-and-a-half and left WWE in 2008.
In his decade away from WWE, Bobby Lashley accumulated an impressive résumé in the world of MMA and wrestling. In MMA, Bobby Lashley has a record of 15-2, winning all five of his bouts with Bellator.

Bobby Lashley even won the TNA/Impact World Heavyweight Championship four times - making him a 5-time World Champion in his wrestling career. This WWE Championship reign shouldn't be similar to Mark Henry's run with the World Heavyweight Title in 2011, where WWE seemed to reward him only for his loyalty to the company.
Bobby Lashley deserves a legitimate run as WWE Champion. Even if this will be his only World Title reign in WWE, it should be a good and long one.
