Booker T Discusses The Babyface Turn Of Bobby Lashley
After he tried to put over Big E as the WWE champion and lost to Goldberg at the Crown Jewel pay per view event, WWE came back with another main event push for him however it seemed that he will not be pushed by WWE anymore. He returned really strong as he defeated all the big names of Monday Night RAW by the time.
At the Day 1 pay per view event, he won the WWE championship for the second time just to drop it to Brock Lesnar at the Elimination Chamber pay per view event. Even though he was never been beaten in this match, he was out of the match with kayfabe injury. Since then he did not get any WWE Championship opportunity.
Before WrestleMania 38 he got involved in a feud with The Colossus named Omos who was undefeated by the time. The duo got involved in a match at WrestleMania 38 and surprisingly Lashley defeated him clean. On the very next night on Monday Night RAW, he is long time ally MVP betrayed him to team up with Omos. He is still involved in the feud with Omos and MVP.
Booker T who is also a former five times WCW World Heavyweight champion recently spoke on his Hall of Fame podcast where he talked about the babyface turn of the former two times WWE champion Bobby Lashley and discussed how he is doing right now. He said;
“As far as Bobby Lashley, I think I said it about a month ago, ‘it looks to me like they were building Bobby up to be something extraordinary.’ Bobby Lashley right now, of course, he can be looked at as the babyface.
“We were just talking about who’s going to be the guy to challenge Roman? I don’t know, I’m just saying, if I was a booker, I would perhaps see it that way. For Bobby to be that babyface, MVP can’t be there at the helm. He just can’t be there, he can’t be flanking Bobby if that’s what route we’re going.”
