The Beast’s next opponent after winning the championship revealed. Brock Lesnar won the Fatal-5 Way at WWE Day 1
WWE Day 1 ended with Brock Lesnar becoming the new WWE Champion, which came as a real surprise to most fans, but since we have the new champion as The Beast, the focus is now on Lesnar’s next assignment.
According to Dave Meltzer, former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley will get his dream match against The Beast Incarnate.
The latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t Sportskeeda Wrestling ) discussed the WWE Day 1 main event. It was disclosed that this WWE Championship match was to initiate Lashley vs Lesnar.
Meltzer revealed in the show that WWE officials believed that the Lashley against Lesnar is more marketable. He mentioned that they teased the glare with Lashley at the show’s end, and that was the last scene.
“With Lesnar having won the title, the next step is Lesnar vs Lashley. You could tell, at the end of the show, they teased that glare with Lashley and everything like that, and that was the last scene. The match was booked specifically for that direction. Big E was the one that was pinned because if Big E wasn’t pinned, and obviously, you’d want to go with Lesnar and Big E. But, the decision, for whatever reason, and the reason is that the people who are making the decisions felt that there was a more marketable match, went with Lesnar and Lashley.”
Lashley was the only star in the match that didn’t get the brutal F-5, and the booking pattern showed WWE’s vision to have the titanic clash between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley.
“During the match, if you remember, Lesnar F5ed everyone but never F5ed Lashley, and they set up a couple of spots, which was the Lashley spear through the barricade. There was the Lashley spear in the ring, although Lesnar did kick out of that spear. Then there was the Hurt Lock, which Lesnar was trapped in, with the idea that Lashley proved he could get him in there and probably beat him, but Big E made the save there. They booked spots all to be dominant; all the spots with Lashley and Lesnar were booked for Lashley to look good while Lesnar pulverized everybody else and destroyed everybody else. So that’s the story of where they are going with this.”
Lesnar gave an F-5 to pin Big E for the WWE Championship at WWE Day 1.
