#5. WWE to break up Lana and Bobby Lashley, possible future match for Lashley
Bobby Lashley took on Aleister Black on night 2 of WrestleMania 36 and he expectedly lost the match. However, Lashley was on the verge of getting one over Black as he had the Superstar in position for The Dominator before Lana came up on the apron and called for a spear.
It ended up being a mistake on Lashley's part as Black capitalized and delivered the Black Mass kick for the win. The seeds for a split have been planted and it won't be long before the 'married' on-screen couple is done for good.
Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed the finish of the match and the possible split on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio.
Bryan Alvarez: They are already breaking them up after spending all of that time to get them married.
Dave Meltzer: Yeah, yeah. Well, they were already having troubles before the marriage. It was already doomed, you know, it wasn't a wise relationship in the storyline from the start.
As reported first by Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue in March, the idea is to break up Lana and Lashley which would free up Bobby for a future dream clash against Brock Lesnar.
WWE does intend on having Lashley vs. Lesnar down the line and they may not need Lana in the angle.
Tom noted:
That match is still very much on the cards, but it needs quite a bit of rebuilding. Lashley has moved on. They were already teasing dissension, where Lashley was getting annoyed with his new wife. That seems like the way they will go with this. We'll see going forwards what ends up happening but the plan at this point is to rebuild Lashley, if Lana is not the right person to do that, then she will not be involved in the storyline.
