The future of Bobby Lashley's career in WWE has been causing quite a stir lately. After almost two decades since his debut on SmackDown, it has been reported that he will be leaving the company this weekend. As a former WWE Champion, with reigns on both the ECW and Raw brands, Lashley is ready to move on as his contract is set to expire very soon.
Rumors have been circulating that his contract will be up this weekend, making him a free agent in just a day or two. Many within WWE have been under the impression that Lashley will indeed be leaving, and sources have even reported that there are no creative plans for him in the future. While his name has been mentioned in discussions with rival company All Elite Wrestling, no official offers have been made as he is still under contract.
It has also been noted that Lashley's former Hurt Business partner MVP, who recently made a surprise appearance at Josh Barnett's Bloodsport, has already left WWE after his contract expired. Fans are still buzzing about the potential for a reunion of the Hurt Business, especially now that MVP is also a free agent. In a recent Instagram post, MVP expressed his gratitude for his time with WWE and the unexpected journey that led him back to the ring as a full-time talent.
MVP has been critical of WWE's decision to disband the Hurt Business and has even hinted at a possible reunion with Lashley and former teammate Shelton Benjamin once they are all free to work elsewhere. During his appearance at Bloodsport, MVP revealed that his contract with another company (which he did not name) is about to expire, and he has no plans to retire just yet.
Lashley's impressive resume includes multiple reigns as United States, Intercontinental, and ECW Champion, in addition to his two WWE Championship reigns. He first joined WWE in 2005, after serving in the US Marine Corps and competing as an amateur wrestler. After a brief stint in OVW, he was called up to the main roster, but was released in 2008. He then spent time on the independent circuit and with TNA Wrestling before returning to WWE in 2018.
One of Lashley's most memorable moments in WWE was at WrestleMania 23 in 2007, when he represented Donald Trump in the Battle of the Billionaires against Umaga, who was representing Vince McMahon. Lashley emerged victorious in the hair vs hair match, shaving McMahon's head in the process.
In other news, it has been reported that AEW tag team Lucha Brothers may also be on the move. Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fénix have reportedly rejected a contract offer from AEW and are now considering a potential jump to WWE. Sources have revealed that the duo may want to stick together as a package deal and are not interested in going to NXT.
There are even rumors that a preliminary offer has already been made to Penta, and Fénix's contract is set to expire around September. It seems that both parties are open to exploring new opportunities and are not afraid to shake things up.
