What you think of him winning the championship?
Is it the right time for Bobby?

The right time was 2007 when he fought Cena.

Long overdue. Good to see him finally win after being stuck in so many crappy angles since he came back to the company.

I would have liked to see Miz hold it for longer but I’m not against Bobby Lashley being champion. Much better than the Russo/Lana cuck angle. And if they eventually do an angle between him and Brock, it could be interesting to see MVP vs Paul Heyman on promos.

Once they hit upon the Hurt Biz, this was the best situation in which Bob can succeed. It would have been a heckuva story if Creative had set McIntyre-Lashley in stone well before this moment, too many elements were simultaneously active in Raw's World Title picture for my taste. But we're here now, shut the door on Miz quickly and move on, and hopefully not be a quick transition back to the Mac Man.

Now we await Brock to arrive, destroy and leave.

While I'm all for Lashley being WWE Champion since it's something fresh, the whole situation with the way it's playing out sits a little uneasy with me, and I don't mean the way he went over Miz. The whole Title picture headed into Wrestlemania has been an absolute last minute scramble. They're literally making this up week by week as they go along.
They've had Drew McIntyre more or less hold the WWE Championship for the entire year since Wrestlemania 36, and he's gone clean over the likes of Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, and Randy Orton. You'd have thought with Edge winning the Rumble and having the programme with Roman, that McIntyre would potentially be given a Wrestlemania Match with maybe John Cena, or Shane McMahon, since it looks like they're going that route with him taking over the direction Roman previously had. I initially thought around the time of the Rumble that it could potentially be leading to a Drew McIntyre vs Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg Triple Threat Match even.
But the way they've hotshotted this Title around now just makes no sense. I understand you had to have Miz take the Title from Drew in cheap fashion, as you couldn't really put Lashley over clean on Drew. But where is the payoff in this debacle at Wrestlemania now? We either get Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley vs Drew McIntyre, or a Triple Threat, and with all those solutions, it would have made the absolute most sense for Lashley to be the one to win the Title at Wrestlemania, rather than have the moment on Raw. Him finally overcoming the 16 year chase and having his crowning moment was where the value was in all of this.
So now, we either get Lashley retaining, which ultimately doesn't do much since he's already the Champion. Drew could win it back and have his proper Wrestlemania moment he never got last year, but ultimately we've already just seen a year of him with the Belt. Or Lesnar wins it, which whilst would be good to see, would only hotshot the Title even more. The whole thing is a complete mess. Lashley vs Lesnar as a Singles Match is probably more unique to see, but I can't see them removing Drew from the whole Title picture after holding it for the past year and just going clean over Goldberg last month to cement himself further.

If Vince wants to do Bobby Lashley Vs. Brock Lesnar he is going to wait till next year's WrestleMania where they have a big crowed and it doesn't need to be a title match. Nobody wants to see Brock Lesnar near the title, he doesn't need the title. |

He will most likely drop it to Mcintyre at Mania. Never been a Lashley fan but I do love The Hurt Business.

The right time was 2007 when he fought Cena. I attended the Great American Bash in 2007 and actually thought he was going to win. Even if he only held it for a month, I think he would've been a credible champion for that era. |

I enjoyed Drew's run but I'd rather Bobby get a proper run then see it immediately go back to drew. Bobby has potential to be a great champ

Nothing wrong with it. Drew just isn't champion caliber.

Have no doubt they will beat the piss out of each other and it’ll be great.

The hurt business has imo 100% been the best, most well booked men's story they've done in years. Well deserved and a great decision.

I rather had Drew kept it but if somebody else had to be champ i think Lashley is the perfect guy to do it.

Well deserved; I still think Drew deserves to have some sort of crowning moment in front of a live crowd. He helped carried WWE through 2020.
I have feeling Drew is going to face Lashley and go over. Or keep Mcintyre in a angle with say Lesnar; or McMahon or something to keep him busy and have Drew taking the belt off Lashley at Summer Slam. It does feel like a cluster f*** with no direction. I do wish Miz got a legit run; but I think that would of been perfect to do in say 2017-2018.

I wanted him to beat King Booker for the World Heavyweight Championship in the summer of '06... Until Batista came back. I thought his time would come at Great American Bash 2007 against John Cena. took wayyy too long but I'm happy it happened at all.
