WWE Blasted For Pulling Bobby Lashley From Television Storylines

WWE has made a lot of controversial decisions with their booking, and taking Bobby Lashley off television certainly puzzled a lot of people. MVP worked closely with Lashley as part of the Hurt Business, and they had quite a ride. Sadly, all good things much come to an end.

For some reason, Bobby Lashley hasn’t ended up in AEW yet. The latest on that situation seemed to leave the door open on that possibility.

During a virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest, former WWE star MVP shared his thoughts on WWE’s decision to limit Bobby Lashley’s appearances on television. MVP questioned the rationale behind removing Lashley from the title picture, citing Lashley’s impressive physical condition and capability.

“You could definitely make the case that with Bobby it’s about age. You want to go with fresh and younger talent, I get that. How do you take Bobby completely out of the title picture? He still looks better than everybody on the roster. He’s in better shape than everybody on the roster. He can literally kick everybody’s ass on the roster.”

MVP emphasized that even as WWE focuses on promoting younger talent, Lashley should still play a vital role. After all, younger talent can certainly learn a lot by working with the All Mighty.

“If you’re trying to make these new guys, Bobby, on his way out, is somebody you should still keep. If you lost Brock, why wouldn’t you stick Bobby in that spot? Bobby is Black Brock. Why wouldn’t you use Bobby in that position and make guys on the way out?”

He also pointed out that other top stars, like Triple H, continued their careers well into their late 40s. “Triple H retired when he was 49 or 50. Bobby just turned 48,” MVP noted, further underscoring that Lashley still has much to offer WWE. We will have to see what Bobby Lashley does next in his pro wrestling career, but he and MVP haven’t hung up their boots yet.

While MVP did confirm that his retirement would be final when that day comes, he was also outspoken about how WWE handled one of his other clients, Omos. MVP noted that it is insane that WWE isn’t able to make money off someone like the Nigerian Giant.
