Bobby Lashley, who is the current WWE United States Champion is going to defend his U.S. Title in a Triple Threat match at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view on 2/21. Lashley has been involved in wrestling since 2005 and is currently 44 years of age.
While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Lashley mentioned that he knows his “finish line” is soon and he won’t be around for the next ten or 15 years like some of his colleagues, specifically mentioning Ricochet and Cedric Alexander. Lashley added that he’s hitting 2021 hard and it will be his year.
This is going to be my year. I have a different level of confidence. Even at my age, I don’t think there is anyone working harder than me. I know that my finish line is soon. I won’t be here for another 10 or 15 years like Ricochet or Cedric. I’m running to the finish line, and I’m hitting it hard. This is the year for me.
Elsewhere during their chat, Lashley expressed interest in doing NXT’s signature Fight Pit match, but for the United States Championship.
I thought the United States title was perceived for a long time as just another title, but it has so many great names behind it. I’m legit as it gets, and I take a lot of pride in defending this title, especially against guys like Riddle and Lee. I saw Riddle’s idea for a Fight Pit, and I’d love to do something like that for the U.S. title. It won’t change the outcome, but it would be a lot of fun.
