For decades Bobby Lashley was one of the most dominant wrestlers in the industry and he’s won numerous titles over the years. In 2021, Lashley took his career to the next level and cemented his legacy when he defeated The Miz to win the WWE Championship for the first time in his career.
Bobby Lashley reflected on his WWE Championship win during an interview with Muscle Man Malcolm and he revealed that he didn’t go sleep after he won the title.
“It was a big deal, man. Because I always say I fall in love with the journey. So, I wasn’t even really looking at titles. I know it was a big deal, but when I got that title that night, I didn’t even go to sleep. I was getting so many people that called me- from colleagues of mine to just friends, family; everybody was just calling me, and the feeling started coming up because sometimes I get so drawn into just the workout, like working out, waking up in the morning, eating right, and doing all that stuff that I forget about the goals at the end of it.
So when the goal came, I was like, ‘Damn, this is beautiful,’ and then it started hitting me, and the heart starts beating hard and everything like that, and I was like, ‘I love this, man,’ and that’s what it’s all about, you know. Just reaching those plateaus in your career took me 17 years, but I don’t look at it as 17 years. I look at it as I enjoyed every bit of it, and then I got a goal in the 17 years.”
Currently Bobby Lashley is signed to All Elite Wrestling, and he added another championship to his resume earlier this week when he defeated Joe Alonzo to win the 4th Rope Heavyweight Title.
