The WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is still not over with Brock Lesnar. Following his win against the Beast Incarnate at the 2022 Royal Rumble, Lashley feels a one-on-one rematch against Lesnar is still on the cards. But he has a special stipulation in mind this time.

‘The Almighty’ wants to face Brock Lesnar in a Fight Pit match. A Fight Pit match is a rare sight in professional wrestling. Though it has taken place twice on WWE NXT, a Fight Pit match is yet to take place on the main roster.

In a Fight Pit match, the ring is surrounded by a steel cell instead of ropes and turnbuckles. And the only way to win is by submission, or if your opponent cannot stand up at a 10-count.

Recently, in an interview with Bleacher Report, Bobby Lashley expressed his desire to fight Brock Lesnar in an MMA-style cage match rather than in a Street Fight match.

He said, “The only thing that doesn’t interest me is a Street Fight. I think what I can do with [my fists] is going to be more brutal than what I can do with a kendo stick or with a table or with a chair. I don’t think we even need that, and I think [Brock Lesnar] feels the same way.”

“So many people want to see it that a Fight Pit would be cool. Put on some MMA gloves and get in a cage,” Lashley added.

Even though it won’t be a Fight Pit match, Lashley and Lesnar will once again cross paths at the 2022 Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event.
