Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE after Wrestlemania 34. The rumours were running high about his comeback before the show.
In fact, some of the rumours suggested he was coming back in a surprising capacity at the grandest stage of them all. But, it ultimately happened in New Orleans, one night later.
He was presented as a reckless force on the roster. For the past few weeks, he was seen teaming up with Braun Strowman. These two had taken out heels like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Elias etc. Being the two monsters from WWE Raw, they have beaten the hell out of all these villains on TV. But, perhaps one of them suffered the most of the wraths.

Strowman pinned Sami Zayn is the concerned name who was put against Bobby Lashley, multiple times, in recent weeks. The latest was at the Backlash PPV event where Lashley and Strowman teamed up against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn.
Zayn at the end. But, before that, he digested another beatdown from Lashley.
So, this week, Sami Zayn brought the context of the beatdown during a segment. While cutting a promo on WWE Raw, he talked about Bobby Lashley forcing him to stay out of action. He had to consult with the doctors to fix the problems in his back. As per his words, he suffered fractured vertigo at Backlash.
Furthermore, he pointed out that how Bobby Lashley claimed to be a good man in an interview on WWE Raw. But, the reality is different. To expose the truth of this man, he vowed to bring Lashley’s sister on WWE Raw, next week. It was the first tease of a new rivalry on the show.

To continue this storyline angle, Sami Zayn also appeared on the main event of WWE Raw. He delivered a Helluva kick to Bobby Lashley costing him the chance of competing at the Money in the Bank ladder match.
It is certain that Lashley will go after the Canadian superstar when WWE Raw goes air, next week.
It is going to be the first rivalry for Bobby Lashley after coming back to the WWE.
This might not be good news for Sami Zayn who will enter in a first-time rivalry after coming back to WWE Raw during Superstar Shakeup. Lashley is the favourite one to emerge on the top which is why Zayn might continue to struggle to get to the main event spotlight.
