WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has put his weight behind two-time WWE World Champion Bobby Lashley. The WWE legend was helped on by his inside sources to understand the future of superstar Bobby Lashley in the company. It was only at the Royal Rumble 2022 that Lashley beat Brock Lesnar to become two-time World Champion. But Booker T highlighted that WWE has bigger plans with him that could see him become even better over the coming years. The All Mighty is also set to take on five other wrestlers in the Elimination Chamber and he wins the contest, then, we will wrestle the Beast Incarnate again  in March. 

“I’m going to tell you right now. I’ve got an inside source. I got an inside source that they are building Bobby Lashley to be something special over the next 2-3 years. I would not sleep on Bobby Lashley and what he’s going to be doing here in the future in WWE,” Booker T said on the Hall of Fame podcast. 

“I do know (that) Bobby Lashley is being set-up for doing good things. You can just look at what’s going on and what’s happening around Bobby (Lashley) right now and you can see a huge difference on the aura of Bobby Lashley right now,” he added.  

Booker T opines on Rey Mysterio’s swansong

Booker T has also insisted that it will be befitting for the legendary Rey Mysterio to have a retirement match against his son Dominik.

Mysterio and his son are yet to face each other in a singles match and Booker T believes that there will be no better occasion for the father-son duo to come up against each other. Dominik made his WWE debut at SummerSlam in 2020 against Seth Rollins. He has grown quite consistently since then to become a star of the company following the path charted by his father.

“I can’t buy a series of matches, but one match – and that might be the match where ‘you beat me, I’ll retire.’ And that might be the match he want to be retired with. Can you imagine that? Can you think about that for one moment? You don’t think that’s good? When somebody poses a question like that I’m going to look at it (like) ‘what can we get out of this?,” Booker T said in Hall of Fame podcast.

The WWE Hall of Famer also believes that Mysterio will not be able to continue forever and thus the WrestleMania will be the best stage for him to face his son and handover him over the family legacy.
