Bobby Lashley is a superathlete. The All Mighty proved why he is one of the most dominant names in the modern era by winning multiple titles in WWE. Currently, he is signed to All Elite Wrestling.

Bobby Lashley is a member of The Hurt Syndicate, alongside MVP and Shelton Benjamin. The faction is a force to be reckoned with. Furthermore, the stable is in an intense rivalry with former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana. At Full Gear, The All Mighty defeated The New Flavor via technical submission. Their showdown was one of the best matches of the night.

Meanwhile, on the latest edition of Grilling JR with Jim Ross, the 72-year-old stated that the sky was the limit for the former WWE Champion in Tony Khan's promotion. The veteran revealed that he told Lashley that the latter would reach the "next level" in the Jacksonville-based company.

"Next level. I told him so to his face. Now I hired Bobby. Bobby is one of my guys. I told him; I said, 'Now, it's the next step. This was good. But not good enough!' And I think he agreed with that. He wants to give some outstanding in-ring matches. I think that's great. He's an athlete. He's a natural athlete, so he's competitive," Ross said. [From 10:56 to 11:35]

Bobby Lashley talked about him leaving WWE and joining AEW

In a recent interaction with Gabby AF, Bobby Lashley stated that he could not go out of WWE the way he wanted to.

The All Mighty further revealed that he joined AEW to work with MVP and Shelton Benjamin again.

"I was like, ‘If I’m going to go out, there are certain ways that I want to go out.’ I didn’t get an opportunity to go out the way that I wanted to with putting guys over and having a feud with those guys. Another avenue I could be happy with is to be able to work with MVP and Shelton again; being able to run with that and have fun with it!" he said. [H/T: Inside The Ropes]

What the future holds for the former WWE star in All Elite Wrestling remains to be seen.
