Bobby Lashley On His Way Out Of WWE But He’s Not Alone

Bobby Lashley looks like he’s on his way out of WWE but now it seems he might not be alone in his exit and there could be a big reunion on its way.

Bobby Lashley’s WWE deal ends in a matter of weeks and it looks like he won’t be re-signing with the company unlike Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Natalya have in recent months.

Lashley has not been seen on WWE programming since April and had most recently been part of a group with The Street Profits but it could be another group Lashley has an association with that could be in his future.

Bobby Lashley Bringing Hurt Business To AEW?

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer gave more insight into the story surrounding Bobby Lashley and confirmed that both he and his former manager MVP are on their way out of WWE and could be looking to resurrect a popular group in AEW:

He is on his way out. Bobby Lashley and MVP both. I know that there’s talk of them trying to get into AEW. I mean, it’s one of those things where technically nobody can talk to them because I don’t believe either’s contract has expired, but their contracts are going to expire. As things stand right now, WWE is under the assumption that they are gone and that they are going to try to revamp The Hurt Business. I don’t know if they’ll use that name or not, I guess it depends on the ownership of the name.

I think I saw MVP tried to register to own the name which would mean that they would maybe even try to use it. But whatever it is they want to get Shelton Benjamin who’s also a free agent and revamp the group in AEW. Whether this happens or not, I mean it depends on Tony Khan. But it’s definitely something that is under consideration. I don’t believe it’s a done deal or anything like that. But it is something that is alive.

But as of right now, Bobby Lashley and MVP are both going to be gone from WWE when their contract expires which is relatively soon.

Should Bobby Lashley and MVP do leave WWE, it would mean the only member of The Hurt Business still with WWE is Cedric Alexander who has recently joined the NXT roster.
