Bobby Lashley Says He ‘Didn’t Even Go To Sleep’ The Night He Won His First WWE Championship

Bobby Lashley shares that he ‘didn’t even go to sleep’ after capturing his first WWE Championship back in 2021.

In 2021, Lashley would successfully capture the WWE Championship for the first time, defeating The Miz to win the title, going on to defend the title at WrestleMania that year.

While speaking to MuscleManMalcolm in a new interview, Bobby Lashley reflected on his first WWE Championship victory.

“It was a big deal, man, because I always say I fall in love with the journey. So I wasn’t even really looking at titles. I know it was a big deal. But when I got that title that night, I didn’t even go to sleep. I was getting so many people that called me from colleagues of mine to just… friends, family, everybody was just calling me and the feelings started coming up. Because sometimes I get so drawn into just the workout, like working out, waking up in the morning, eating right and doing all that stuff that I forget about the goals at the end of it. So when the goal came, I was like, damn, this is beautiful, and then it started hitting me and the heart started beating hard and everything like that. I was like, ‘I love this, man,’ and that’s what it’s all about. You know, just reaching those plateaus of your career It took me 17 years. But I don’t look at it as 17 years. I look at it as I enjoyed every bit of it, and then I got a goal in the 17 years.”
