Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar are finally set to collide at WWE Royal Rumble.
The two men have been linked since Lashley joined WWE in 2005 and have followed similar career paths, most notably with leaving WWE for long stretches and successfully transitioning to MMA.
Now that the match is finally upon him, Lashley could not be more excited.
"I'm excited. Brock is that guy that jumps back and forth. For me, it's been 20 years. As soon as I came to WWE, people were saying, 'Bobby and Brock, Bobby and Brock.' I never said no, so I never knew why it didn't happen. It's finally happening now and it's cool," Lashley said on DC & RC with Daniel Cormier and Ryan Clark.
Lashley continued, providing insight as to the type of match fans might see on Saturday.
"It's one of those fun matchups that people want to see. It's not just going to be a pro wrestling match. People want to see the wrestling and see who's going to get the most takedowns, who is going to get the first takedown. People want to see that. They want to see who can fight. If this thing breaks down into a fight, they want to see who can win a fight between Brock and I. A lot of people have talked about that. We have to give them a little bit of everything and that's what's going to happen. It's not just going to be 'tie up, shoulder tackle, shoulder tackle,' like two big men will do. Me and Brock have so much more than that. We might try to fight for that first takedown to see who gets it and then go from there," he said.
When his power double leg takedown was mentioned, Lashley said, "I'd knock him off his feet (with it). I knock down houses with that thing."
Along with his MMA and amateur wrestling experience, Lashley has experience wrestling, Lashley has experience wrestling off-screen in WWE as he previously revealed that Vince McMahon will try to take him down. You can find his comments by clicking here.
