10 Most Heavily Protected Wrestlers In WWE Today
1. Bobby Lashley
While other wrestlers have been given compelling storylines, allowed to consistently win matches, and presented as dominant figures, few, if any, can compare to Bobby Lashley right now.
There’s a reason behind the kind of nicknames he’s been tagged with during his current run. Lashley has been an absolute one-man wrecking crew. In this regard, he takes first place over both Roman Reigns (who has had to concede ground to some of his stronger foes) and Omos (who’s still relatively green).
What’s truly astounding here, is the fact that two years ago Bobby's gimmick was bending over and pointing his rear at the crowd. This was followed by the even more atrocious Rusev-Lana love triangle thing. Thankfully, WWE did eventually realize what they had. Following WrestleMania 36, the All Mighty embarked on a run that eventually saw him become the most protected wrestler in the company.
The crowning moment arrived earlier this year, when Bobby obliterated The Miz to claim his maiden WWE Championship. His title reign was equally impressive, with only the bare minimum of shenanigans. And despite dropping the title to a Big E cash-in, Lashley continues to be presented as strongly as ever.
