Bobby Lashley Begins First Run as WWE Champion

Bobby Lashley has had no shortage of monikers throughout his 16-year career in pro wrestling. He has been called “The Almighty,” “The Destroyer,” and the “The Dominator,” just to name a few.

But those are now all secondary to his newest title: WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.

“I promised myself that this would happen,” says Lashley. “There have been times when I didn’t know if this was going to come, but I worked my ass off and refused to be denied. Now that we’re here, it’s surreal.”

Lashley defeated The Miz by submission during the main event of Monday night’s Raw.
