WWE News: Dream match officially teased for Universal Champion Brock Lesnar
What's the story?
Even when he was in TNA, fans had been yearning for a match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar, because of their similar wrestling and MMA backgrounds. Both men are intimidating beasts, at home in the octagon as well as a sports entertainment ring.
Shortly after Brock Lesnar cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to become the brand new Universal Champion, Bobby Lashley sent out a tweet teasing the dream match. WWE would retweet the same, fueling speculation about a clash between these two larger than life bulls.
In case you didn't know...
I'm guessing anyone who's reading this piece is familiar with everything that went down at WWE Extreme Rules 2019. The main event match saw Brock Lesnar cash in his Money in the Bank contract to become the brand new Universal Champion.
Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman also faced off in a furious Last Man Standing contest. This was a match that saw them battle all over the arena. There were ECW chants during the match because it had the signature Paul Heyman touch all over it.
The heart of the matter
Not everybody was happy when Brock Lesnar became the new Universal Champion. Twitter was flooded with negative comments about the title switch, and even in this sea of misery, one Tweet stood out of the pack.
Bobby Lashley sent out the following Tweet, which was subsequently retweeted by WWE. This is a clear indication that a dream match could be in the works, between these two larger-than-life individuals, after years of fans asking for the contest.
What's next?
I don't really know if this is the direction that WWE will be heading in. Various sources indicate a Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar rematch at SummerSlam. Maybe Lesnar vs. Lashley can happen down the line...
