10 WWE Superstars Set For A Big Push Following WrestleMania 34

7. Bobby Lashley

11 years after his last appearance for the company, Bobby Lashley returned to WWE on the Raw after 'Mania. He got a great reception as he strolled out in New Orleans, and promptly put a beating on poor old Elias, who was suspended in a hanging vertical suplex for what seemed like an eternity. Now, it looks like the former United States Champion is ready for another big run, and you'd best believe Vince McMahon has huge plans for him.

Pushed way over his head during his first spell with the company, Lashley is finally the performer that the Chairman wanted him to be the first time around. He might be 41 years, but he has improved exponentially since leaving in 2008, with his MMA dabblings only adding to his legitimacy. Don't be surprised to see him enter the Universal Title hunt within the next couple of months.

A feud with Brock Lesnar had been mooted, but could now be off the table, given the uncertainty surrounding 'The Beast's' long-term future. Expect Vince to push him to the moon regardless, though: Lashley is about to be a very big deal again.
