Bobby Lashley is one of the most dominant forces in WWE. The Almighty is currently in his third reign as the United States Champion and is slated to face Theory for the Championship at SummerSlam. Bobby has been praised for his enormous strength and ability to dominate in the ring. Bobby is also regarded as one of the best persons to work with by some wrestling pundits and fellow wrestlers, with Vince Russo recently saying that he had a great time working with Lashley during their days in TNA.
This year, Bobby Lashley had managed to win the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble by defeating Brock Lesnar. Bobby Lashley had defeated Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and Big E to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship match at the Rumble. Brock hit an F-5 on Bobby, inadvertently incapacitating the referee once more. Towards the end, Roman Reigns invaded the ring and speared Brock. Roman then hit Brock with the WWE Championship and walked away with Heyman, who re-aligned with Reigns as his special counsel. Bobby then pinned Lesnar to win the championship for the second time.
Bobby Lashley was a part of Bellator MMA from 2014 to 2020
Bobby Lashley pursued an MMA career and fought his first professional bout in December 2008. Bobby joined with Bellator MMA in 2014 after collecting a career record of 10-2, where he won all five of his professional matches from 2014 to 2016. He was unable to obtain the championship shot or the match against Emelinanko that he desired.
During his Bellator MMA days, Bobby was also a part of Impact wrestling and was very successful in Impact wrestling, this made him to fall under the radar of WWE and he rejoined it in 2018. Even though Bellator representatives said that Bobby Lashley was still under contract, it was extremely improbable that he would be have got the go-ahead to return to the cage. Lashley’s MMA fighting career appears to be over at the age of 45.
Conor McGregor is known for his sarcastic comments regarding WWE and recently he had said that he didn’t come to the WrestleMania 38 as the WWE Superstars feared him. Many have wondered upon the possibility that Conor having in WWE one day and have deduced that Conor’s charisma would surely work in WWE. Bobby Lashley recently remarked about Conor in an interview with Kevin Kellam. He stated that while Conor is famous and has a large fan base, he is of little stature and will not last in the wrestling ring with him. Bobby Lashley also stated that Connor may not be able to compete in the ring with Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
“You take somebody like a Conor McGregor. Sure, he’s got a lot of popularity and has got a fanbase, but he’s a little guy. He can’t get in the ring with me, he can’t get in the ring with Roman [Reigns], he can’t get in the ring with Brock [Lesnar] and have it made sense.”
Bobby Lashley is determined to retain his US Championship; we will have to wait for a few hours to find whether he triumphs over Theory or not.
