Bobby Lashley is a prominent superstar who has been a sheer force of nature. The All-Mighty is currently on the SmackDown brand and is on the hunt to build a faction. Lashley recently shed light on his dream match while speaking on a podcast. The Dominator stated that he would like to clash with Dave Bautista, which he believes will be a big box office match. He also said that the odds for this bout are on his side.

While speaking on the Perform Podcast, Bobby stated that he loves the position Dave Bautista is in right now in his career. He praised how Dave’s career has soared since he left WWE. Therefore, he believes that his return to wrestling should be a grand one. Lashley then put forth the idea of facing Bautista when he comes back and states the match to draw some big box office numbers within the world.

The Hollywood star competed in his last match in WWE back at WrestleMania 35 in 2019. He squared off against Triple H in a No Holds Barred match, which was his retirement match in the company. On the other hand, Lashley made a comeback to the Stamford-based company in 2018 after ten years of hiatus.

The Raw after WrestleMania 34 saw the All-Mighty’s return to confront and smash Elias with his impressive strength. Bobby’s current storyline has seen him approaching various stars for a potential stable on the Blue brand. The July 14 episode of SmackDown saw his much-awaited return after two months of hiatus.

The former WWE Champion was surprisingly spotted outside the arena. His appearance saw him shaking hands with Street Profits and discussing business in his limousine. Last week’s SmackDown saw him talking with NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes, who called it a Business Trip.

Bobby Lashley made his unexpected return to SmackDown two weeks ago in his limousine. The 47-year-old appeared outside the PNC Arena and met The Street Profits for a private discussion. All the stars greeted each other and went away for further talks in Lashley’s luxurious limousine.

During a recent interview on the 513 Podcast, Angelo Dawkins spoke about their undisclosed talks. As the host asked him about their meeting, Dawkins said a line from Rush Hour, “Hey, man, that’s G-14 classified. Just have to tune in, you know.” Therefore, it looks like they are cooking some huge things.

The All Mighty is rumored to be collecting stars for his potentially powerful faction. Since his return, he has been seen approaching The Street Profits and Carmelo Hayes on two different episodes of SmackDown. The final plan could be for Lashley to revive The Hurt Business with their formation at SummerSlam.
