"I’m hoping Bobby Lashley goes out there and beats the hell out of Kofi Kingston" - Two-time Hall of Famer on Money in the Bank match
WWE Champion Bobby Lashley will face Kofi Kingston at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view. WWE legend Booker T wants Lashley to "beat the hell out of" Kingston at the event.
While speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T explained how he would like to see the match between The All Mighty and the New Day member go down.
He believes the WWE Champion should win the match quickly and it shouldn't "be a competition".
“I’m hoping Bobby Lashley goes out there and beats the hell out of Kofi Kingston (laughs) like a heavyweight is supposed to do. You go out there and you beat on this man, and you beat on this man, and you beat on him until he says, ‘Please, just don’t beat me anymore.’ That’s the way I feel this thing should work out. For me, this match should be like Bobby is playing ‘Beat The Clock’ (laughs). It’s got to be quick, man, straight into the Hurt Lock, the one punch, right into the Hurt Lock. It isn’t going to be a competition. That’s my prediction,” said Booker T. (H/T WrestlingNews)
