Yet, for Lashley, all that was a precursor to training for WWE. First coming to the squared circle through WWE’s ECW brand, Lashley fought his way to becoming one of the final ECW Champions. After further honing his craft outside of WWE in the MMA world, Lashley made an explosive surprise return to Raw in 2018 and has been on a path of domination ever since. 

Since his return, “The All-Mighty” has captured both Intercontinental and United States Championship gold and has risen to prominence as the Chief Hurt Officer of The Hurt Business, a faction formed alongside MVP, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander. Equipped with his unbreakable Hurt Lock, Lashley finally won the big one when he defeated an overmatched Miz to become the new WWE Champion on an episode of Raw in 2021.

The powerhouse has fended off multiple challenges from Drew McIntyre, and if The All Mighty and MVP are to be believed, Lashley might be WWE Champion for a very long time.

Lately, Bobby Lashley has not been involved in any action since his match against Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble. At the Elimination Chamber, Lashley entered first in the chamber and had no involvement in the entire game.

After his exclusion from the Chamber, many speculated this could be just a move to sideline the superstar from the title picture. but it has been revealed that the injury is legitimate and the star is surely hurt.

In a recent interview Bully Ray, a WWE Hall of Famer expressed his views on how Lashley is being treated in recent times.

Bully Ray, on the Busted Open podcast, expressed his disappointment at how Bobby Lashley has been treated in WWE since the return of Brock Lesnar.

Bully Ray said “Give the champion his due. The champion should be coming out last. What’s the big deal if Brock Lesnar comes out first? I’m not saying put him out there second or third or fourth.”

He added “Bobby Lashley looks phenomenal, wrestles phenomenal – there’s a lot of great things Bobby Lashley does. But the minute Brock [Lesnar] steps back in the picture, Bobby gets pushed to the side on many fronts. Send him out last, give the champion his entrance, give him some pyro, give him some fanfare.” 

Well, Bully ray doesn’t seem to be alone who’s against the nature of bookings in recent times. WWE fans and many experts have also expressed their disappointment on social media regarding the same.

Going forward, Lesnar will face WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. The match will be a Title Vs Title, where the winner takes all.
