Lashley comments on his future.
Bobby Lashley’s six-year return run with WWE came to an end in 2024. He is no longer under contract to the company.
His future was inquired about as he partook in a virtual signing for K & S WrestleFest. The 25-year veteran stated that he has a lot more left in the tank. He mentioned that he had a ‘boo-boo’ to take care of but now, he’s back healthy.
Lashley added that something should ‘pop off’ in the next few weeks and it’s time for him to put pen to paper and get back to the fans.
I know the last few years have been a little up and down. But I got a lot more left in the tank and I can’t wait to jump back out there. I had a little boo-boo, so I took a little time off to fix myself and I’m feeling good right now. I’ve been working out hard and I think the next few weeks, you should see something — something pop off. It’s time to put pen to paper and start getting back to these fans.
Elsewhere during the signing, Lashley said he has wrestling, boxing and MMA offers. He mentioned that after the virtual signing, he planned to sit down with Steven Kaye, co-founder of Paragon Talent Group, so they can ‘roll the wheel’ in regards to his future.
As far as wrestling and fighting, I have a few wrestling offers on the table. I have a few boxing matches, MMA matches. A lot of stuff on the table and after this, Steve (Kaye) and I are going to sit down and we’re going to… roll the wheel.
The idea of returning to TNA/IMPACT Wrestling was brought up. Lashley stated that a feud with current TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth would be cool.
On the AEW front, Lashley mentioned that he saw Shelton Benjamin’s AEW in-ring debut against Lio Rush. He reiterated how much he likes Rush and said he was not too happy to see them fighting.
A feud with Dolph or Nic (Nemeth) would actually be pretty cool. I know he’s running the show over there. I also talk with Moose. He’s a good friend of mine also, and phenomenal wrestler so, that’s a feud I hadn’t really been able to really jump into so there’s all kinds of different feuds that’d look great, and I seen Lio (Rush) over there over at AEW plus, MVP and Shelton (Benjamin). That’s always a good opportunity to get back into the — you know what? It’s whatever. I’ll let the fans pick.
Lio Rush is my dude. I’ll fight for Lio. I saw Shelton fight Lio last week and I wasn’t too happy about that. I wasn’t too happy about that. I like Lio. Lio’s a freaking star.
Benjamin is going to be back in action on the 10/30 Dynamite. He’ll be accompanied to the ring by MVP for his one-on-one bout against former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland.
