The Almighty Bobby Lashley has had an illustrious wrestling career and has achieved incredible feats and is still going strong. The former WWE Champion is a physical specimen and has the fans drooling over his in-ring technique and ability to have great matches.
In his 15 year career, he has had some memorable rivalries that have defined his wrestling legacy and have etched his name into wrestling folklore. In this article, we take a look at some of his best rivals.
The feud that Lashley had with Strowman firmly ranks as one of the best of his career. It involved two behemoths intent on tearing down each other and the fans loved every bit of it.
The two men had surprisingly great chemistry for big men and all their bouts had a “big match” feel to them. This could very easily have been a dud but it proved otherwise as they kept serving great match after great match and a great wrestling feud overall.

One of the most interesting and engaging feuds of 2019 was the one between Bobby Lashley and Rusev. Lashley returned from injury with Rusev’s wife, Lana by his side and boy was it an incredible storyline. The angle had it all from weddings to wild promos that kept the fans on the edge of their seats.
The fact that even other wrestlers were involved in this made this rivalry all the better. The reaction of the fans towards Rusev each time Lashley and Lana kissed each other was hilarious. It did feel stupid at times but this rivalry brought out the best of Lashley and showed a new side to his character and has served him in good stead ever since.
We can’t think of Vince McMahon without remembering the rivalry he had with Lashley and Donald Trump. Vince and Trump had the famous “Battle of the Billionaires” at WrestleMania 23 where Lashley (with Donald Trump) and Umaga (with Vince McMahon) went head to head.
This was one of the most hyped storylines at the time, and Lashley made the most of the opportunity. Even though he wrestled Umaga, the storyline was actually with Vince McMahon as he ended up shaving his head alongside Donald Trump. Lashley continued to work with Vince, competing against his son Shane and then even getting a street fight match against the WWE chairman himself.
