Bobby Lashley is the ‘All-Mighty’ WWE Champion and looks completely unstoppable since winning it. Lashley has shown critics and the WWE Universe that he’s here to stay as the WWE Champion. However, winning a world title didn’t come easy for him. Despite making his return to a huge ovation on the Raw following WrestleMania 34, Bobby Lashley seemed lost in the shuffle. Yes, he got an impressive clean win over Roman Reigns. But that was it. Every other program Bobby was a part of didn’t make much of a difference.

During the interview, Lashley was asked if he ever doubted his decision of returning to WWE as he wasn’t into meaningful storylines for a majority of his return run. The ‘All-Mighty [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bobby-lashley/]‘ WWE Champion instantly says that he never doubted or regretted his WWE return. He noted WWE is the pinnacle of the pro wrestling/sports entertainment business and simply being there is a huge thing. After all, most wrestlers outside WWE cite a WWE contract as a dream come true.

He said, “Hell no. Hell no. This is the WWE. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s the pinnacle of this business. It always has been. Just to have the opportunity to be in the WWE is an accomplishment in itself. That’s what people don’t understand. It’s really an enormous thing. There are people in other organizations that wish they could be in WWE, wish they could be in any place here.” Lashley further added that he was grateful to make a WWE return after over a decade away from the company. He also noted that he did have winning the World Championship in mind upon return, but he didn’t let his focus get clouded by it. Not just that, but Bobby Lashley did not even get doubtful or complacent when he there wasn’t anything significant for him. Why? Because he always believed he would keep working whatever came his way, and WWE would eventually give him what he wants. Guess what? He did get it! There’s one thing we can all learn from Bobby Lashley here. No matter how long you have to wait for your turn, you must be patient. Because once it comes to you, there’s hardly a chance it’s ever going back! on His WWE Debut [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-im-going-to-get-destroyed-mick-foley-recalls-dislocating-his-jaw-on-his-wwe-debut/].

<h1 class="acss2f015">Bobby Lashley 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h1>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-434455 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/bobby-lashley-3.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

WWE believes in giving its best superstars second chances, and Bobby Lashley is one of those who is making the best out of it. Probably one of the most impressive physical specimens in wrestling, Lashley is a freak of nature. For a man of his size and strength, he's as nimble as a cat. His extended MMA background gives him a distinct advantage over his fellow superstars.

Bobby Lashley began his wrestling career in 2005, wrestling dark matches on Raw and SmackDown. He made his live television debut on SmackDown in 2005, beating Shawn Dean in his debut match. He beat Dean in his PPV debut as well at No Mercy.

Lashley would dominate superstars on Raw, until he ran into top stars like JBL and Booker T. Booker T beat Lashley in the King of the Ring finals, but he won the United States Championship from JBL two days later. One year after his PPV debut, Lashley headed into No Mercy 2005 to win the World Heavyweight Championship, but was unsuccessful.
<h2>ECW and WWE Championship pursuits</h2>
[caption id="attachment_457640" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]<img class="wp-image-457640" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-115430029-401x315.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="942" /> Bobby Lashley during Donald Trump and WWE News Conference for WrestleMania 23 at Trump Tower in New York City, New York, United States.

Lashley shocked the world by going to ECW, where he won the ECW Championship at the horrid December to Dismember PPV. He defended the title frequently, restoring some of its credibility, but lost it in the most humiliating way. In a 3 on 1 handicap match, Vince McMahon pinned Lashley to win the ECW Championship. Prior to this, Lashley played a role in Vince's humiliating head-shaving moment at WrestleMania 23.

Prior to leaving WWE, Lashley made two attempts at winning the WWE Championship too. Both times, John Cena successfully retained the championship, including in an excellent Great American Bash title match.
<h2>TNA/Impact Wrestling (2007-2018)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-567519 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210228145133/bobby-lashley-tna.jpg" alt="" width="1400" height="1400" />

Lashley found success in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, making WWE realise they lost a good one. From 2007 to 2010, Lashley feuded with some of the biggest names in TNA. He faced the likes of Samoa Joe, Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash.

Lashley left TNA to focus on his MMA career, but returned in 2014. In his second run, he became the first African-American TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and held it for three months, losing it to Robert Roode. He won the title once again, before losing it to Kurt Angle in January 2015. Lashley would have four reigns with the TNA/IMPACT World Championship.
<h2>Return to WWE (2018- Present)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-432677 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Lashley-Champ-1280x720-1.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />

Bobby Lashley returned to WWE after WrestleMania 34, attacking Elias. He soon inserted himself into the Universal Title picture. Unfortunately, he was beaten by Roman Reigns who went on to beat Lesnar at SummerSlam. After that, Lashley lost a lot of momentum and turned heel. In January 2019, he beat Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship. He then began feuding with Finn Balor, to whom he lost at WrestleMania 35.

Lashley would feud with the Shield and Braun Strowman in 2019, before he became embroiled in a feud with Rusev over his wife Lana. Lana and Lashley would torment Rusev in an intensely personal and vulgar storyline. Fans rejected the storyline, and once Rusev left WWE, Lashley found a new challenge as the CEO of the Hurt Business.

He won the United States Championship from Apollo Crews at the Payback PPV and held the title till Elimination Chamber 2021. After losing the title to Riddle, Lashley shifted his focus to the WWE Championship.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-932343" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Lashley-2.jpg" alt="" width="1359" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Eventually, Lashley fulfilled his destiny when he </span><span style="font-weight: 400">defeated The Miz in a lumberjack match to win the WWE Championship for the first time in his career.

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, ?The Almighty? lost the title on an episode of Monday Night Raw when Big E surprisingly cashed in his Money in the Bank contract after Lashley?s grueling match with Orton.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After losing the title, Lashley re-ignited his feud with Goldberg and lost at the Crown Jewel PPV. Eventually, Lashley took some time off the TV and returned on Monday Night Raw.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, he soon fixed his target, and the target was the newly crowned WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar. Seeing the opportunity, WWE booked the first-ever one-on-one match between Lashley and Lesnar at this year?s Royal Rumble PPV.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">During the bout, Lashley surprised the WWE Universe when he displayed the equivalent strength as Lesnar. Eventually, Lashley won the match, thanks to the interference from Roman Reigns. Thus, Lashley won the WWE Championship for the second time in his career.</span>
<h2>MMA career</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-517732 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210117111255/010_Bobby_Lashley.0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" />

Similar to Jake Hager and Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley holds a supremely impressive MMA record. He has competed in promotions like Shark Fights, Strikeforce, Titan Fighting Championships, India's Super Fight League and Bellator MMA.

He has a record of 15-2-0. His two losses came against Chad Griggs and James Thompson. Thompson beat him in New Delhi, India, but Lashley got his revenge at Bellator 145, knocking him out in 0:54.
