Why did Bobby Lashley and his faction complete their heel turn on WWE SmackDown? Exploring potential reason
Since making his return, Bobby Lashley has been a part of several memorable segments on SmackDown. From forming his faction with The Street Profits to being a part of different segments, Lashley and his team seem to be everywhere. Something similar happened this week on SmackDown.
When Rey Mysterio and the LWO were inside the ring and in the middle of a promo, Lashley and his faction interrupted them. Upon their interruption, The All Mighty challenged the LWO, and this led to a match between The Street Profits and LWO, which was won by the former.
While this victory was notable, during the segment, Lashley and his faction seemingly turned heel. The reason behind the same could be Lashley's aspirations to win a title. If the 47-year-old would have turned face, he would have to face someone like the absent Roman Reigns to win a title. And given the scenario, that wouldn't be possible.
However, given that he is seemingly a heel now, Lashley could face Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship. By winning the title, The All Mighty could begin a reign of dominance for him and his faction. In the coming weeks, it will be interesting to see if Lashley can win the United States Championship.
