The 14th January edition of WWE RAW was one of the most interesting Monday Night RAW shows in recent history, with some great matches, compelling storytelling, and a huge title change.

Bobby Lashley, who rejoined WWE in 2018, won his first title in 13 years, as he defeated Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in a triple threat match to win his first Intercontinental title.

This will be Lashley's third title reign in his WWE career, having won the ECW title as well as the United States Championship in his first run with the WWE. Lashley, who turned heel in the latter half of 2018, has looked good in the ring, although his gimmick - that of him showing his backside to the public, and having a loudmouth manager in Lio Rush, has disappointed some fans.

But, his Intercontinental title reign could be the start of something new for The Dominator. Many fans have been dreaming about a match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar, and I have a feeling we will see it at WrestleMania 35.

But, before that, Lashley could have a few interesting feuds while holding the IC title. Here are 5 Superstars who could challenge Bobby Lashley for the IC title:


#5 Kevin Owens

WWE announced last month that Kevin Owens will be returning to the WWE soon, although they did not reveal when The Prizefighter will get back in the ring, following his knee surgery.

The last opponent that Owens faced before he had to get surgery was Bobby Lashley, where Lashley turned heel, and Owens babyface. It remains to be seen if Owens will be a face when he returns, but it's set up nicely for the former Universal champion to take revenge, maybe even at Royal Rumble, where he could make a surprise entrance.

I can certainly see this being a great feud with both Superstars' incredible athleticism, as well as the trash talking between Owens and Rush.
