Bobby Lashley Regrets Missed Potential in Brock Lesnar Feud

Bobby Lashley recently opened up about his feud with Brock Lesnar in WWE, expressing regret that their rivalry didn’t reach its full potential. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Lashley shared insights into what he believes could have made their storyline even more exciting for fans.

Lashley’s Vision for the Lesnar Rivalry

While Lashley and Lesnar clashed multiple times in WWE, Lashley felt their matches could have been more impactful with better storytelling. He envisioned a build-up that showcased their rigorous training, highlighting the tension and intensity leading to their encounters.

“Brock was a natural bully, but he was the babyface at the time, and I was the heel,” Lashley explained. He believed this dynamic could have added more layers to their feud, captivating fans with contrasting personas.

The Idea of a Dominant Tag Team

One of Lashley’s intriguing concepts was the possibility of teaming up with Lesnar, creating a powerhouse tag team similar to The Road Warriors. He imagined Paul Heyman managing the duo, hyping them as the best in the business.

Lashley elaborated, “It could have led to drama, with Heyman’s words sparking tension between us—setting the stage for a bigger breakup and a more personal feud.”

Untapped Matches and Missed Moments

Despite their physicality and star power, Lashley lamented that their feud failed to deliver the epic moments fans expected. “I still see there were people we could have had great fights with and matches that needed to happen,” he said, reflecting on the lost opportunities.

Fans Share the Sentiment

Many fans agree with Lashley, feeling the rivalry lacked the depth and long-term storytelling it deserved. While a rekindling of this feud seems unlikely, Lashley’s ideas offer a glimpse into what might have been.
