10 Biggest Unsung Wrestling Heroes Of 2020
10. Bobby Lashley - WWE
Working meaningless feuds with Aleister Black, Apollo Crews and the dead-on-arrival RETRIBUTION, the title of unsung hero should be awarded to Bobby Lashley merely for surviving WWE’s booking unscathed this year.
However, the current US Champion has not simply drifted through each role, but, with the help of MVP, become an entertaining and believable upper-midcard act that finally appears to be showing the presence and personality needed to match his in-ring talent. After little more than a month of being rebuilt as a viable competitor, Lashley was inexplicably thrown into a short feud with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. The ensuing match at Backlash 2020 was surprisingly intense, and, more importantly, Lashley looked like he belonged in the championship scene, despite the lack of time invested by WWE in the wrestler.
Ever since, Lashley has consistently risen above the material he has been given, whether convincingly dominating in the short-lived Raw Underground or generating interest in otherwise cold rivalries for the US Championship. The Hurt Business stable has clearly helped Lashley considerably, but moving from endless matches with Slapjack to a competitive bout against Keith Lee is a transition that few would be able to successfully navigate.
