<p>There has always been speculation that Bobby Lashley will face Brock Lesnar at some point in the future. Now, with a more aggressive version of Lashley, and recent speculation of Brock Lesnar&#8217;s return, there are rumors of a Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar match at WrestleMania.</p>



<p>However, talking about Brock Lesnar getting a match for the WWE Championship in an interview with <a href="https://vibeandwrestling.wordpress.com/2021/02/26/vibe-wrestling-interviews-bobby-lashley-drew-mcintyre-is-the-man" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">ViBe and Wrestling</a>, Bobby Lashley revealed that Lesnar should have to work his way up the roster before getting a title shot. He pointed out that there were a number of other Superstars on the card, all waiting to get a shot.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>&#8220;If Brock wants to be back in the picture, Brock is gonna have to work his way back up to the title shot as there is a lot of people waiting at the front door. Myself, Braun, The Miz and several other people that want to have their shot at the title so he is not the man. Of course, that fight, everybody would love to have sometime in my career just because of the similarities between Brock and I, but at the end of the day, if Brock comes back, I welcome that challenge but is up to him. If it doesn&#8217;t, Drew is the man&#8221;</p></blockquote>
