In the lead-up to WrestleMania 40, a former WWE Champion has made waves by snubbing The Bloodline and hinting at a challenge to The Rock. The event is set to feature a high-profile tag team match on Night 1, with Roman Reigns and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson facing off against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. Additionally, Bobby Lashley will join forces with The Street Profits, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins, to take on The Final Testament, consisting of Karrion Kross, Rezar, and Akam, in a Six-Man Tag Team Philadelphia Street Fight match.
Bobby Lashley recently expressed his thoughts during an interview with The Bump. Despite last year’s WrestleMania plans being scrapped due to Bray Wyatt’s illness, Lashley is eager to compete against Kross and his team. He also pointed out his past victories over three of the four superstars in this year’s main event—Reigns, Rollins, and Rhodes—implying that he feels restricted in his current position. Lashley’s statement, “I’m looking at the main event, and there’s four guys in the main event. I’ve beaten three of them. I’m throwing it out there, just saying. So I feel like I’ve been handcuffed a little bit,” underscores his desire to be in the spotlight.
Lashley’s track record includes a significant win over Roman Reigns at Survivor Series 2018, when Reigns was known as The Big Dog. He also claimed victory over Seth Rollins in their one-on-one feud in 2021. While Lashley mentioned defeating Rhodes, it is noted that there is no record of a singles match between them in any wrestling promotion.
Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, made a brief appearance at a WWE World event in Philadelphia, arriving late and staying for only twenty minutes after fans had waited nearly two hours. Following the event, The Rock took to social media to post a three-word message, “Final Boss energy,” fueling speculation about his future involvement in WWE storylines.
As the aftermath of The Bloodline versus Rhodes and Rollins unfolds, fans are intrigued to see whether Bobby Lashley and The Rock will engage in a storyline following WrestleMania. The wrestling community is abuzz with anticipation, pondering the potential for a match-up between The Rock and Bobby Lashley in the WWE. A poll is currently gauging fan interest in such a match, inviting viewers to cast their votes and share their opinions.
