KEY POINTS

  • Brock Lesnar returned to WWE after a week's absence Monday
  • Bobby Lashley eliminated Lesnar at Royal Rumble earlier this month
  • The two could next face off at Elimination Chamber live event

Brock Lesnar destroyed Bobby Lashley on Monday after challenging him to a match at WWE Elimination Chamber.

The Lashley vs. Lesnar rivalry has been getting intense over the past few weeks. The two wrestlers have come face to face twice before, with Lashley winning the first bout and Lesnar triumphing in the second encounter. Lashley won the bout at the 2022 Royal Rumble premium live event and Lesnar needed just about six minutes to win over Lashley at the Crown Jewel event later that year.

The feud between the two veterans did not end there as Lesnar returned, costing Lashley his United States Championship match against Austin Theory.

In the recently concluded Royal Rumble edition in Texas, Lesnar eliminated three superstars before being shocked by Lashley. The latter was the 13th wrestler to enter the ring in Texas and he soon eliminated Lesnar. Following the loss, Lesnar disappeared from the WWE stage for a week.

Lesnar then made his WWE comeback by appearing on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW. As one would have expected, Lesnar was not going to let go of Lashley without punishing him for what he did at the Royal Rumble. The Beast Incarnate said he had a multi-million dollar contract for a match against Lashley at Elimination Chamber and asked the former WWE Champion to accept his challenge.

Lashley did not accept the challenge straight away, saying he did get the better of Lesnar every time and therefore he will fight the Beast Incarnate in the ring on his own terms. The two-time Intercontinental Champion then informed Lesnar he would have his team look at the contract and get back to him.

As Lashley turned to walk away, Lesnar picked him up and hit the F-5. The crowd chanted "one more time" and Lesnar did it again.

The latest assault by Lesnar on Lashley should set up their match at WWE Elimination Chamber perfectly. However, it is still unknown if WWE will go ahead with the storyline.

Apart from the Elimination Chamber, Lesnar has also been confirmed for WrestleMania 39, reported Sports Rush. "The Grandest Stage of Them All" is scheduled to take place on April 1 and 2 in California.
