Much like Carmen Sandiego, WWE fans are wondering where in the world is Bobby Lashley? The former WWE Champion hasn’t had the best 2023 by any stretch as his scheduled match at WrestleMania 39 against Bray Wyatt was scrapped because of health issues on Wyatt’s end.
The WWE Universe is Concerned That SmackDown Superstar Bobby Lashley Could Be Cut as He Hasn’t Been Featured in Broadcasts Since May
Lashley’s booking woes began with his storyline involving Brock Lesnar. On its own, it was your usual WWE hoss feud which was to conclude at Elimination Chamber 2023. Then Bray Wyatt returned as the story was ongoing. Stating that the winner of Lesnar-Lashley would deal with him. Why? Who knows.
While the official story is that Bray Wyatt had health issues that needed to be tackled, the speculation was that either Vince McMahon pulled Brock Lesnar or Brock shot the notion down. In any case, Lashley defeated Lesnar at Elimination Chamber 2023 via disqualification.
So, Lashley is in a collision course with Bray—until it never got off the ground. The next big event was WrestleMania 39, WWE only had so much time to set up Bobby Lashley versus Bray Wyatt for it to be worth a WM spot. As the weeks went on, Lashley continued his business on WWE television and even took to social media to say that he would be participating in WrestleMania.
Instead, Lashley would win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy on the go-home SmackDown. He was last on television losing to AJ Styles in the semi-finals of the WWE World Heavyweight title tournament on May 15, 2023 edition of SD.
Since then, Bobby Lashley has appeared on house shows in late June but fans were hip to the fact that “The Almighty” hasn’t been on television or PPV in months. He was a regularly featured superstar recently on television. However, WWE removed both he and The Fiend from television.
With the roster cut kind of lingering in the background, fears have risen on social media that Lashley might be on the chopping board because the company isn’t doing anything with the former ECW Champion.
What do you think? Is WWE merely getting plans in order for Lashley’s return or is he up to be chopped? If chopped where will he land? Let us know down below!
