Why Bobby Lashley Thinks WWE Buried Him
Bobby Lashley has explained why he thinks WWE were trying to bury him towards the end of his run in the company.
Bobby Lashley left WWE when his contract with the company came to an end in 2024 and since then he’s been open about why he chose to walk away.
Lashley has claimed Triple H was not his biggest fan and has spoke candidly about why he feels WWE’s treatment of him was a spit in the face.
Bobby Lashley Not Happy With WWE Burial
Speaking on The Lame Guys Podcast, Bobby Lashley discussed nearing the end of his run in WWE and how he felt the company were trying to bury him as much as possible by pulling him off shows and TV:
That’s when I got to the end of my career. I mean, when things changed and it was like I got pulled off of a lot of things and I was like, okay, you can pull me off but, I said just as long as I get a second on TV… Any time when I walked out, ‘Bobby! Bobby!’ The crowd went crazy.
I was like, man, they’re trying to bury me as much as they can. Pull me off of WrestleMania the first time in my entire career. Just put me in the back where I was in the background just wearing a suit, doing nothing. I was like, all right, you guys can put me in the back and I wear a suit. I’m gonna get some slick ass suits to put on. I was like, any time you guys give me an ounce of time on TV, I’m gonna look like a fricking star and that’s what it’s about.
Bobby Lashley also claimed several WWE stars tried to get Omos fired as they were unhappy after having to work with the giant star.
The former WWE Champion is widely expected to debut for AEW on Fright Night Dynamite which will see his old Hurt Business partner Shelton Benjamin take on Swerve Strickland.
