Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry has provided his insight on how AEW CEO Tony Khan should book a former World Champion in the Jacksonville-based promotion. The name is none other than Bobby Lashley.
Last week on AEW Dynamite, Bobby Lashley made his shocking debut after the main event match between Shelton Benjamin and Swerve Strickland. The former WWE Champion wasted no time in showing his true colors as he took out Swerve and Prince Nana alongside his Hurt Syndicate stablemates Benjamin and MVP to end the show.
In a recent chat on the Busted Open podcast, Mark Henry stated that he wants to see Bobby Lashley have a killer instinct in All Elite Wrestling. He claimed that everything would be fixed once Lashley got booked as a monster.
“Now you gotta give a reason of why he should be feared. Swerve — they need to find Nana bloodied up and Bobby wiping his hands off. Bobby needs to walk around there like a living, breathing horror movie, and if they do that? Then everything is fixed.” [H/T: InsideTheRopes]
