Rumor Roundup: Mia Yim’s WWE Future, Possible Match For Bobby Lashley, More

3) WWE’s Original Plan For Mojo Rawley

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, it was originally pitched for Mojo Rawley to become the next Goldberg.

Here is what Meltzer said:

“He was highly touted as a future superstar when signed in 2012. The first idea I heard for him was to make him into a Bill Goldberg powerhouse. But then that idea changed, and it was constant changes and all downhill.”

My Take:

  • I always liked Mojo but I definitely don’t think that fans would have bought that. I am surprised though that they let him go as he is someone who I thought would be a WWE-lifer.

2) Speculation On A Possible Match For Bobby Lashley

Speculation from Wade Keller of PWTorch is that WWE is building up Bobby Lashley for a future match against Brock Lesnar. This comes after Bobby beat Drew McIntyre at Wrestlemania 37.

Here is what Keller said:

”I have to think that finish was part of building Lashley for a match with Brock Lesnar more than it was any kind of no-confidence vote in McIntyre.”

My Take:

  • I would definitely like to see Lashley vs Lesnar at some point. Sounds like a money match for Summerslam.
