10 WWE Wrestlers That Bumped The Best For Braun Strowman

8. Bobby Lashley

Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley's 2019 series was a useful case of getting back to basics for both behemoths after periods in WWE's grand wilderness.

Neither had yet reached the top of the company despite both fitting the profile of a Vince McMahon push and generally being fairly well liked by live crowds. Ultimately, the programme didn't result in a fast-tracking for either of them, but the matches and segments at least gave them both the opportunity to be really big guys doing really big things again.

Lashley in particular flew around like he was half his size, particularly in their mostly mental July 1st Monday Night Raw clash. An arena-wide brawl on a show emboldened by the news of Paul Heyman's recent promotion to Executive Director took them to the Raw stage for an explosives show after Strowman sent his giant rival flying through LED boards.

The scene, like most others that played out between them, was absolutely spectacular and wasn't completely wasted - it served as the build to a Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules that featured a entrance tunnel powerslam bump worthy of writing Lashley out for the rest of the summer.
