* AudienceAlienatingEra: Despite the initial anticipation (see below), his 2018 WWE return has quickly descended into this in the eyes of a lot of fans, with his initial [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalWrestlingJargon heat]] being largely toned down thanks to a combination of factors, almost all of which are down to [[ExecutiveMeddling corporate decisions]].

* HarsherInHindsight: Lashley's cuckolding of Rusev and becoming a heel couple with Lana was ''never'' a popular storyline to begin with and before Bobby Lashley found his groove with the Hurt Business, his love triangle with Lana and Rusev was considered one of his lowest points. Fast forward to 2024 and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon is forced to resign from the company because of a highly publicized sexual assault lawsuit. And one of the disturbing details we find out about the upcoming trial is a sleazy text where Vince allegedly told the woman now filing the lawsuit that he wanted to watch black men performing carnal acts with her. So in retrospect, one might not be able to shake off the creepy feeling that through this storyline, Vince was quite possibly using poor Bobby as a vehicle for his own sordid fantasies.

* FanNickname:
** [[Wrestling/BrockLesnar "Black Lesnar"]], [[Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} "Blackberg"]]. Which Bobby reportedly [[BerserkButton despises]] due to its racist undertones. He has admitted, however, that part of his motivation to re-sign with WWE in 2018 was a dream match feud with Lesnar for the Universal Championship. His #1 contendership win over Wrestling/RomanReigns at ''Extreme Rules 2018'' was going to set that for that year's ''Wrestling/{{Summerslam}}'', but got overrode in the episode ''Raw'' after the event. He finally got the one-on-one dream match he wanted four years later, at ''Wrestling/{{Royal Rumble}}'' ''2022''.
** His PowerTrio with Wrestling/BaronCorbin and Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre has been given the nickname of "The Midcard of Evil" by the guys of [=WrestleTalk=].
