Bobby Lashley on his plans after WWE departure

While Bobby Lashley is rumored to join AEW after a remarkable WWE run, he may instead pursue a different career altogether. In an interview with The Bo and Them Show recently, Lashley said he was open to MMA, boxing, and acting besides being interested in a pro wrestling comeback.

“I’m doing it all. I look at it this way—first of all, YOLO, you only live once but I have a lot of gas in the tank. I’m in great shape. I feel good. I’m motivated. I’m rested (...) Wrestling, yes. Boxing, yes, MMA, yes. Acting, yes. Everything, yes. But I have a lot of different things going on right now.”

Lashley also revealed that he got an offer from a boxing company recently. Only time will tell what the future has in store for the former WWE Champion.
