It’s finally happening. Bobby Lashley is finally going to face Brock Lesnar in a one-on-one match.
For years now, Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar have avoided one another but in 2022, Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar have finally touched and they will finally face off in a one-on-one match at the Royal Rumble for the WWE Championship.
A potential match with Brock Lesnar is asked about in nearly every Bobby Lashley interview. Lashley has always said that it’s just never happened even though he’s wanted it for years. On Day 1, Bobby Lashley got his hands on Brock Lesnar and nearly pinned his shoulders to the mat and now, at the Royal Rumble, Bobby Lashley gets his chance after winning a Fatal 4-Way match on January 3.
WWE Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley
A true clash of the titans is set for Royal Rumble! Newly crowned WWE Champion Brock Lesnar will go head-to-head with Bobby Lashley.
After Universal Champion Roman Reigns was unable to compete at WWE Day 1 due to COVID protocols, the intimidating Lesnar insisted he be added to the WWE Championship Match at the inaugural Premium Live Event. Out of the furious free-for-all of the Fatal 5-Way, The Beast overcame Lashley, Big E, Seth “Freakin’” Rollins and Kevin Owens to claim the WWE Title and once again stand on top of the mountain.
Two days later, The All Mighty stormed back onto Raw and reestablished himself as the next challenger to The Conqueror by emerging victorious in a Fatal 4-Way Match against Owens, Rollins and Big E, the very match originally scheduled for WWE Day 1. Lashley earned the opportunity on the same night the WWE Champion reunited with his advocate, Paul Heyman.
Now, brace yourself as the two intense Superstars lock horns in what promises to be an explosive showdown. Don’t miss Royal Rumble, Saturday, Jan. 29, at 8 ET/5 PT, streaming live on Peacock in the United States and WWE Network everywhere else.
