Everyone was counting on Brock Lesnar to win the Royal Rumble 2023 and get his revenge for last year’s WrestleMania, but Bobby Lashley has broken that dream for everyone. Not only was it surprising to see Lesnar out of the ring by one man, but he only lasted a meager 3 minutes.
Even in those 3 minutes, though, Lesnar eliminated three wrestlers and gave the arena a taste of Suplex City. But this Rumble will be fondly remembered as the one where Lesnar was embarrassed and tore down the arena.

The only thing we need as the follow-up to this moment is a match between these two big men. If you have been following their storyline over the months, you know that we have been waiting for the announcement of their WrestleMania 39 match.
But keeping all of that aside, the fans were stoked to see this happen.

What to expect from Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar’s feud going forward?
With such two huge superstars, both in size and strength, clashing pretty soon, you can expect the ugliest brawls in WWE history. Add to that the gravitas of the situation if it happened on the biggest stage of them all.
It just gets you more riled up thinking about it. The only question remaining is how Triple H will book the two in the future. If the two clash paths regularly, it will only make it redundant. But if the two have a personal backstory to wanting to crush each other, it will make for some great television. But at the end of the day, only Triple H has the reigns to make decisions.
