I know you're just kidding around, but he was actually in the WWE Championship picture towards what ended up being the end of his first WWE run. 5-Pack "Championship Challenge" at Vengeance: Night of Champions and 1-on-1 with Cena at The Great American Bash (2007).

I sincerely believe he nor anyone else won the belt from Cena because Vince was very much sold on letting Cena run with it for as long as he wanted. Of course, Cena fell victim to injury en route to No Mercy, but that's neither here nor there. Fact is, sometime between GAB '07 and the 7/30 episode of RAW, Lashley was injured which they covered for with a kayfabe injury in a match with Mr. Kennedy.

He was set to return in 2008 until apparently Michael P.S. Hayes was a huge racist asshole to him backstage and he essentially quit and was quietly let go in February 2008.

But yeah...he's really just kinda... THERE so far. Hasn't wowed me at all. The answer to the question as it pertains to Lashley of what have you done for me lately, is nothing. Braun on the other hand is still wildly popular. Give him the belt from SummerSlam through the start of 2019 as a transitional guy and have him drop it to somebody worthwhile who would actually be believable in toppling him and who will actually fit the mold of the new face of the company. Shit, have him and AJ work a program and at some point just unify the titles with AJ going over. He's proven he's money on SDL, why not make him undisputed company champ and let him be a free agent who can compete on either or both shows each week?
