In the case you don't know, Bobby Lashley turned heel on last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw after he picked up a win against Kevin Owens, attacked him and injured him.

According to the Dirty Sheets, Bobby Lashley wanted to be a heel when he returned to WWE. However, WWE officials convinced him to be a babyface as Lashley would’ve had a better chance of facing Brock Lesnar that way.(as facing Lesnar is one of Lashley’s main goals)

Lashley and the WWE Creative Team had a meeting recently where they discussed that a heel turn was very needed for Lashley. Vince McMahon was previously against the heel turn, but he agreed on this because Lashley could then be used as a worthy heel opponent for Roman Reigns for a future Universal Title feud.
