WWE Crown Jewel: Will Lashley come out on top against Brock Lesnar in this unexpected feud

The rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley has reignited following the feud between both wrestlers in the last two episodes of RAW. Lesnar made his comeback during the season premiere of WWE RAW and attacked Lashley ahead of his US title match against Seth Rollins. Despite the attack, Lashley tried to defend his title but ended up losing to 'The Visionary'. In the recent episode of RAW, it was Lashley's chance to attack Lesnar and the All-Mighty dominated the Beast Incarnate.

Lashley finally had his first win over Lesnar after beating him at Royal Rumble and winning the WWE title after interference from Roman Reigns.

The reason why Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar did not happen until now is that when Lashley made his debut in WWE in 2005, Brock Lesnar had already left the company. When Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012, Lashley was no longer with the company and only made his return back in 2018. Both the wrestlers have managed to stick to the company and that is the reason why the dream match is finally taking place.
