Bobby Lashley Thought He And Brock Lesnar Could Have Formed A Road Warriors-Type Team

Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar have always drawn comparisons to each other given their build and background, and the two made for top enemies in 2022 when Lesnar was going after Lashley and the WWE Championship. 

While they worked as rivals, Lashley saw potential of them as a tag team under the guidance of Paul Heyman. 

“I wanted to do a lot more with it and I wish we could have done the things we could’ve, should’ve, and wanted to do,” Lashley told Chris Van Vliet on Insight. “I think people could have gotten sold into us training to fight each other and some the heat we could have brought. Brock was a natural bully, but in this sense, he was a babyface and I was a heel at the time. It could have showed how we prepared for a fight with each other and showed something different. It could’ve been like the ‘Rocky’ story. If they wanted to, they could have put us together and ran as like the Road Warriors. I was like, wouldn’t it be cool if they brought us up, put us together, have Paul Heyman find a way to put us both together, we win tag team titles and he keeps referring to ‘I have the greatest fighter in the world and the greatest tag team,’ and it got to the point of, ‘Who is he talking about as the greatest fighter?’ You’re only saying one person. That could build natural animosity. ‘I know you and Brock have history, but you keep saying you have the greatest fighter and greatest tag team. Who are you referring to?’ My ego could have gotten in the way, whatever it was, but it brought us apart. It could’ve been. I don’t know if they could’ve put us as a tag team because it might’ve been two dominant. There were people we could’ve had great matches with.”
