10 Greatest Champions In Professional Wrestling Today

10. Lashley - Impact Wrestling Heavyweight Champion

Impact Wrestling has undergone a tumultuous start to 2017. Management decided to drop the 'TNA' moniker, and now there's been a full merger with Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling.

Management also decided the man to lead as the face of the company, through all this commotion, was Bobby Lashley. Bringing MMA legitimacy to the main event, Impact may have been hoping for a Lesnar-esque draw (on a smaller scale, naturally) as their Heavyweight champion. It hasn't exactly panned out that way - but Lashley is still an athletic freak.

So far in 2017, Lashley has seen off former champions Eddie Edwards and Jeff Hardy. Some might say he lost some prestige by losing to El Patron via shenanigans, and he maybe could have done without the Josh Barnett match. Either way, Impact are in a serious rebuilding phase and Lashley is their chosen poster boy, so his Heavyweight Championship dominance should continue.
