10 Early Reasons To Be Worried About WWE WrestleMania 37

7. Bobby Lashley Just Misses Out

As it currently stands, The Miz will be our WWE Champion heading into WrestleMania. According to the ever-reliable Twitter source WrestleVotes, though, he won't be the champion come 10 April. Bobby Lashley will be involved in the match, however.

Or will he?

WWE's booking of 'The Almighty' hasn't always been the greatest over the years. Sure, he was the ECW World Champion in his first stint with the company, and had marquee pay-per-view clashes with the likes of John Cena. The same cannot be said for his second stint sadly.

His work alongside MVP, Cedric Alexander, and Shelton Benjamin in The Hurt Business over the last year has been some of the best work of his career, and his assault of Drew McIntyre at the conclusion of Elimination Chamber made him look like a serious threat. He's scheduled to challenge The Miz on this coming Monday's Raw, but that doesn't mean he'll win.

John Morrison could cost him. Drew McIntyre could cost him. The Miz could get in a sneaky victory. Hell, MVP could easily turn on his current client. Anything can happen with the current state of WWE's booking.

Lashley is one of the genuinely outstanding big men WWE currently has on offer (sorry, Giant Zanjeer). He could still be left out of the championship picture come 'Mania, though. A tragic story if it does happen. He deserves this after the work he's put in.
