Bobby Lashley publicly asked for a match against Brock Lesnar for years, and he finally got it as their first match took place at the Royal Rumble in January, where he beat “The Beast” for the WWE Title.
Now, the two stars will meet in a rematch at this Saturday’s Crown Jewel event. While speaking with CBS Sports’ Shakiel Mahjouri, Lashley noted that he doesn’t think Crown Jewel should be the end of this feud as it can evolve into other areas.
“The way that I look at it, because there was so much actual lead-up because there’s been years and years and years of lead-up, because of the way things have come together with us, I don’t think this is the last time we’re going to see each other. I think, until the end of my career, the end of his career, there’s always going to be Bobby and Brock. Because right now, I look at the score: one for me, zero for him. If it’s two for me and zero for him after Crown Jewel, I’m sure he’s going to be coming back for another one. He’s got to avenge his losses. I like the build-up because I think the build-up is really important because of what happened last time because there wasn’t that real resolution to anything except me pinning him. This time, there’s going to be a lot more hype, and I think that it’s not going to be the last time. I think there’s so much more that me and Brock can actually get into. So I think this feud is going to be a feud that’s going to keep going, and it’s going to keep looking different, and there’s going to be a lot more involved with it.”
Lashley continued, “This time, I think this might be a time where I can finally put him away, but I don’t think Brock’s the type of person that’s just going to let somebody beat him two times in a row and then not even come to avenge that. I like the competitor he is because Brock doesn’t care. Brock wants to fight. Brock wants to hurt. Since he wants to, he’s gotta come with it.”
