Last week Lashley had a sit-down interview with Renee Young where he brought up stories involving his sisters & Taz sees the meaning behind all of it.

Since returning to the WWE following a 10-year hiatus, Bobby Lashley has resumed his dominance in the ring over the likes of Elias, Sami Zayn, and Kevin Owens. While he has formed a formidable team with Braun Strowman, fans were caught off guard with his recent sit-down promo with Renee Young.

Despite picking up where he left off in the ring, conversations about his sisters left a bad taste to many viewers, and was certainly a major difference in creating the no-nonsense character that people were expecting. In fact, the interview resulted in a great deal of criticism on social media and was mostly a backlash to WWE's intentions.

For Taz, however, it raised interest from him regarding where to go. In fact on a recent episode of The Taz Show, Taz admitted that he liked the idea of bringing up his sisters, which is certainly a surprise to many since it did not help the dominance of Lashley's character. Taz felt that the interview was intriguing, and that it has the opportunity to develop into an angle.

Regarding the next step of this Lashley-sisters saga, Taz shared where WWE should take it. Although Lashley should not bring in all three sisters, bringing in one person that is his kayfabe sister would spark some interest.

"I'm starting to think, maybe this is a female that's going to manage him and gonna be his sister and maybe that'll be a mouthpiece for him," said Taz. "Maybe that's where they're going. Could be. Not a horrible thing. If they have the right person to do it. I think you need a woman who is a strong woman, in character I'm speaking, who is the sister of Bobby Lashley, someone who is a strong woman. Kind of like a powerful presence."

Taz used the example of someone like Laila Ali, "who you know physically could beat somebody up, whether she is a woman or not." With this woman being a big sister, Taz feels that Lashley could go antagonizing people and beating them up, because he knows that big sister has his back.

On paper, this idea seems a bit bizarre, and does not seem as if it has a long shelf life. However, at least it is something that will bring a bit a character to Lashley, especially since the interview left many desiring for much more.
