Return to WWE, Main Event Success

WWE Return

In 2018, Lashley made a grand return to WWE and started dominating the promotion once again. Upon return, Lashley was given a mid card treatment. He had multiple Intercontinental championship wins followed by the United States championship win after making his main roster return to WWE.

He was receiving a concrete mid card treatment upon returning to WWE in 2018. But in early 2021 he returned to the main event level once again and this time he received the best treatment of his WWE career. The Miz won the WWE championship after he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Drew McIntyre.

WWE Champion

Soon after winning the WWE championship, The A-Lister defended his title against Bobby Lashley and The Almighty won the match and took the WWE title away from him. This was his first WWE championship win. At WrestleMania 37, he defended the title against the former champion Drew McIntyre and he was successful in retaining the title.

He retained the title for a number of months before dropping it to Big E WWE was trying to build as a new main event star. In early 2022 he won the title once again just to drop it at Elimination Chamber to Brock Lesnar. And this was pretty much it for his World Championship run in WWE. His main event Run continued but he did not get to win any WWE World championship yet.

Feud with Brock Lesnar

In 2022 he had a brief feud with Brock Lesnar which continued until the early 2023. It was mostly a no one’s game as nobody got to receive a clear victory from this feud. But Lashley received a very strong booking against Brock Lesnar where he had been booked as the stronger among the two former mixed martial artists.

Further Success

At WrestleMania 39, Lashley was supposed to face Bray Wyatt in a one on one match but it was pretty unfortunate that Wyatt had some health conditions and he failed to work at WrestleMania 39. Lashley then went on to win the WWE Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. He did not get any booking at WrestleMania 39 apart from showing off his Andre The Giant memorial trophy.

Teaming up with The Street Profits

At the latest draft of WWE, Lashley had been drafted to Friday Night Smackdown and upon getting drafted to the blue brand of WWE, he created a faction along with the Street Profits. So far it is receiving excellent reaction from the fan but it looks like this stable would work as a heel stable. Even at the age of 47, Lashley is doing a tremendous job.

The Hurt Business

In 2020, WWE formed a faction with Bobby Lashley been the leader of it and MVP as its manager. Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander were the two other members of this faction. It was a massively successful stable and all of them had Championship success while being in it. But for some unknown reason Vince McMahon decided not to continue it.

It was a very questionable decision since the stable was extremely popular among the fans and it was doing an excellent job. In the latter days, McMahon was losing faith on factions for some reason and he was not entertaining any of it. It might have been the biggest reason behind dissolving it. A large number of fans still believe that a return of the Hurt Business would have been an excellent decision.

Iconic Quotes From Bobby Lashley

“When I head into the cage for an MMA fight, for that time inside the cage, I hate the person standing across the cage. I want to beat him up and beat him up to the point where he never wants to go against me again. After the fight, I can shake his hands, and he – we can be best friends. It’s the same thing in professional wrestling.”

“When I went to Impact, it was me proving myself on a daily basis to a lot of different people. I mean, I had matches with Austin Aries, matches with Jeff Hardy, Bobby Roode, Drew McIntyre. I mean, I wrestled everyone. During that time, I wasn’t just sitting back saying, ‘Man, I hope WWE picks me up. I hope they see me. I hope to get back.”

“A lot of times, professional athletes say, ‘I’m not a role model; I’m an athlete.’ I don’t mind being a role model because I know what I’ve done in order to make it to where I am right now. It’s a lot of hard work; it’s a tremendous amount of hard work. But in order to be make it to a certain level, everybody knows it’s going to take time.”

“One of my first overseas trips with WWE was to France. I walked out of our hotel, and I see a little kid walking toward me with his mom. He gets a couple of steps past me and he stops in his tracks. I see his mom do a little bit of a double-take, then he runs over and just grabs on and starts hugging my leg as hard as he can, then he starts crying.”

“When I was with WWE before, I was a big guy throwing people around – power moves. Then after that, when I left WWE, I was like, ‘I still enjoy professional wrestling,’ but some of the smaller guys look up at me and say, ‘I don’t wanna wrestle him. I don’t wanna get thrown around by that guy.”

“Everybody gives Trump an extremely bad rap. He’s a businessman, so he is not trying to rub your back and tell you everything is going to be OK. He is going to set standards and, when everything is in chaos, you need someone who is willing to do what needs to be done.”

“I think the problem people get into is they want to go into the gym and look at other people’s workouts, or they want to lift what other people are lifting. I started out really small. I actually did a lot of research, and I learned all about working out. So take gradual steps.”
