Bobby Lashley has been a heel for most of his second run with WWE. Now that he’s a babyface, he’s focused on understanding what the crowd wants and needs.
Lashley gradually became a good guy over the past several months, and his feud with the pairing of MVP and Omos helped solidify this shift. “The All Mighty” solidified this transition by defeating Theory, one of the top heels on WWE RAW, at the Money in the Bank premium live event.
In an interview with The Tennessean, the reigning WWE United States Champion discussed how he’s focused on engaging with the crowd and paying attention to them more than ever before,
“I’m big on understanding and engaging with the crowd deeper than ever these days,” said Lashley. “Whether they love or hate me, they paid their money to come to the show, so they’re why I’m there. So I’m all about keeping an eye on what they’re wanting and needing to see from me in the ring.”
“The crowd enjoys whatever I happen to be doing now, these days,” said Lashley. “Whether winning the world title or having a match that gets a standing ovation, I deliver performances that my colleagues and the fans love seeing. Everyone believes I’m deserving of the success I’m achieving. That means everything to me.”
Lashley will defend his title against Theory at WWE SummerSlam.
