Wrestling legend urges Tony Khan to take the title off Jon Moxley and crown former WWE star as the new AEW World Champion (Exclusive)

Wrestling veteran Bill Apter wants AEW President Tony Khan to make Jon Moxley lose the World Title to a former WWE star. The name in question is none other than Bobby Lashley.

The All Mighty has been a World Champion in promotions all over the world, including TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, WWE, and more. He left the Stamford-based promotion earlier this year and recently made his AEW debut and aligned with MVP and Shelton Benjamin in The Hurt Syndicate. Since his arrival in All Elite Wrestling, Bobby Lashley has competed in two matches; in his first match, he squashed Cheeseburger on Dynamite, and at the Full Gear pay-per-view last weekend, Lashley picked up a huge victory against former World Champion Swerve Strickland.

In the latest episode of Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Time Machine podcast hosted by Mac Davis, Bill Apter stated that All Elite Wrestling should find a way to put the AEW World Championship on Bobby Lashley. He claimed that while current champion Jon Moxley is a great worker but Lashley looks more like a World Heavyweight Champion and can represent the company out in the world.

“I want to say that Swerve Strickland against Bobby Lashley, doesn’t matter what color they were, Swerve got the crap kicked out of him. Somehow AEW has to find a way to put the World Championship on Bobby Lashley. Jon Moxley is a street guy, great worker, very tough and all that. But if you want a champion that looks great in a suit, not wearing bummy clothing like Moxley, you know, casual clothing, you want somebody that you could send to a sports banquet who looks good. You want somebody who when they come to the ring, looks the part of a World Heavyweight Champion. Again, color has nothing to do with it, It’s Bobby Lashley.” [From 04:26 to 05:21]

Bill Apter encourages AEW to not drop the ball with Bobby Lashley

In the same episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, Senior editor Bill Apter sent a message to All Elite Wrestling management. He said they have a huge star in Bobby Lashley and called him World Heavyweight Championship material. Apter does not want the promotion to fumble the ball with The Almighty.

“If anyone here from AEW is watching this, the people that make the decisions, you’ve got somebody that you can’t blow this with. Bobby Lashley is World Heavyweight Championship material. Don’t blow it.” [From 06:53 to 07:10]

We will have to wait and see if Bobby Lashley captures gold in the Jacksonville-based promotion.
