Bobby Lashley praises the WWE Raw roster.
With Roman Reigns working limited dates despite being the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Bobby Lashley became one of the faces of WWE Raw as the United States Champion. WWE put more emphasis on the US Title with Triple H taking over creative and Lashley would regularly square off against a variety of opponents including The Miz, AJ Styles, and Mustafa Ali.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio before WWE Raw, Lashley was asked about being positioned as one of the top acts on Raw despite not being the world champion.
"There are a lot of people in that position. I love our roster right now. That's what made me excited about winning the United States Title. I had Ali, he's a guy who has been overlooked a little bit, but he is phenomenal. Great wrestler, great mind in the business and he's hungry. Every day when I come in, he has different ideas, 'I want to do this, I want to do this.' You have him, Riddle, he's on fire right now. Seth Rollins, he's Seth Freakin' Rollins, he's great across the board. Some of my closest friends, even favorites, the Hurt Business. MVP is there with Omos. Shelton Benjamin is still doing his stuff. Cedric is there. I'd like to bring that group back together at some point in time. There are so many highly talented people on there. Chad Gable, Otis. I dont' want to leave out any names. Edge, Rey Mysterio, his son [Dominik Mysterio]. We're all the faces...I'm one of the prominent figures because I'm the champion, but there are so many people you could say are the face of Raw, it depends on how you're looking at it," he said.
The Hurt Business officially disbanded in 2022 after a mini-reunion in 2021. MVP and Lashley started the group in May 2020 when they joined forces.
Lashley is no longer the WWE United States Champion, losing the title to Seth Rollins after he was attacked by Brock Lesnar on Monday's WWE Raw.
