WWE Announces Bobby Lashley Vs. Brock Lesnar For WWE  Title BEFORE Wrestlemania 38?!

During the 2/21/22 Monday Night Raw it was announced that on March 5, 2022 at Madison Square Garden Brock Lesnar will defend his newly won WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Bobby Lashley. If Lashley isn’t cleared, as he appears legit injured, for the match someone of main even caliber would replace him.

It has been widely reported that on Monday Lashley was at Andrew Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center in Birmingham to get his shoulder examined. WWE seems to be hedging their bets on whether Lashley needs shoulder surgery now, later or at all.

Stay tuned as this story develops.
