Bobby Lashley Interested In Building To A Match Against Gunther

WWE

WWE star Bobby Lashley is interested in building to a match against Gunther later this year.

Lashley has been riding a wave of momentum since returning just before WrestleMania 38 and recently defeated Theory for the United States Championship at the Money In The Bank event at July 2.

While the All-Mighty has been riding high on Raw, Gunther has been a rising star on SmackDown. He defeated Ricochet to win the Intercontinental Championship on the June 10 edition of SmackDown.

Speaking with BT Sports, the current United States Champion discussed his desire to face Gunther sometime later this year.

Lashley said:

“I think an interesting matchup that I heard a couple of times is Gunther. I think just him being my counter on the other show. I think it’s something that is kind of intriguing. He’s a tough, tough, tough competitor. I mean, he’s been doing some big stuff and he just went right up to the top right away. So I think it’s an interesting matchup. It’s a matchup that I think that we can kind of build towards. Maybe we can do that at Survivor Series or we can do that a little later on in the year, but it’s something definitely that I’m interested in.”

Before the two men can think about a cross-brand showdown at Survivor Series, Bobby Lashley must successfully defend the United States Championship against Theory at SummerSlam this Saturday, July 30.
