WWE missed several opportunities with Bobby Lashley

As a long-time fan of professional wrestling and someone who has watched Bobby Lashley’s career unfold over the years, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions when it comes to his tenure in WWE. The recent report that his contract is coming up for renewal within the next month has sparked intense debate among fans about whether WWE “fumbled” Lashley’s potential and if there was more they could have done with him.

Over the weekend, there was much discussion within the WWE community, focusing on a past champion. According to Fightful Select, Bobby Lashley’s contract with WWE is set to expire “within the next month or so, potentially even within weeks.” This revelation caused quite a stir since Lashley is widely admired in the professional wrestling world. The ensuing debate over whether WWE mishandled Lashley’s career is a complex issue that goes beyond the scope of a simple tweet.

Both sides of the debate could readily find supporting evidence for their arguments. On one hand, Lashley’s status as a multiple-time champion and his protected booking during the COVID-19 pandemic make a compelling case. However, it is undeniable that Vince McMahon’s handling of the Hurt Business raised valid concerns. The faction was incredibly popular among fans, yet they were abruptly disbanded when they had reached their peak. In retrospect, Lashley did have some impressive runs, but there were clearly missed opportunities for growth.

Since his return to WWE in 2018, Lashley has achieved significant success. He became a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a two-time United States Champion, and a two-time WWE Champion. Over the course of this period, he held titles for approximately 553 days. During this run, he secured victories against notable opponents such as Drew McIntyre, Karrion Kross, Brock Lesnar, Kevin Owens, Rey Mysterio, and others. These accomplishments are undeniable.

The controversy arises from what was lacking in Lashley’s tenure as champion. With his imposing physique and charisma, Bobby Lashley is one of the most convincing figures in sports entertainment. This was evident during his title reign alongside MVP, culminating in the establishment of The Hurt Business. Lashley didn’t just speak the words of a champion – he embodied them, a trait that had long been recognized by fans of TNA and IMPACT Wrestling. This new perspective on Lashley made him both a weekly in-ring champion and an influential figure deserving of wider recognition beyond wrestling. Unfortunately, Lashley’s extended reign and leadership role within The Hurt Business did not materialize as it should have.

From a dedicated fan’s perspective, I’ve noticed how Bobby Lashley was consistently matched against the WWE’s biggest names, yet failed to secure a clear victory over Brock Lesnar. Instead, he was utilized to boost the profiles of other stars like Bill Goldberg. The long-awaited clash between The Hurt Business and The Bloodline never materialized, leaving fans disappointed. Lashley’s potential was overshadowed by these top names, making his time in WWE seem less impactful during this run and even during his earlier stint. Despite possessing equal abilities, he was rarely given the chance to demonstrate this fact. It felt like the glass ceiling kept getting raised higher and higher, preventing Lashley from truly showcasing his worth.

McMahon and Triple H are being blamed for Bobby Lashley’s lackluster run in WWE by some fans. However, opinions are divided as to who is truly responsible. Regardless, there has been much debate about Lashley’s tenure with the company. According to Fightful Select, Lashley plans to carry on performing. Here’s hoping that if his WWE stint comes to an end, he gets the opportunity to shine on a larger stage once more.
