The match has been signed: It’s John Cena versus Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at The Great American Bash. But as this pair of current and former champions prepares to face each other for the first time one-on-one, a glance at their respective histories is in order to see who might have the edge.
While both are impressive physically and utilize a wide array of tactics in the ring to beat opponents of all sizes, a look at their time as champions reveals a lot about what each man is made of mentally.
Cena’s faced two champions at the same time (World Heavyweight Champion King Booker and ECW World Champion Big Show at Cyber Sunday 2006), and also defended his gold from super heavyweights such as the current Intercontinental Champion Umaga and the Indian colossus, The Great Khali.
While former two-time ECW World Champion and United States Champion Bobby Lashley beat the 500-lb. Big Show in the Elimination Chamber to win his first ECW World Title at last year’s December to Dismember, he’s had his hands full dealing with the mind games and Machiavellian machinations of the WWE Chairman, Mr. McMahon.
Both men have the skills. Both men have the championship pedigree. Looking at these comparisons, it’s a virtual coin toss between Cena and Lashley as to who’ll be victorious at The Great American Bash.
