Bobby Lashley might be about to leave WWE and that has come as a shock to wrestling fans around the world. The former WWE Champion is one of the most accomplished stars on the roster and it will be hard to replace someone like him.

Fightful Select has reported that Lashley’s contract is set to expire soon and it could only be a matter of weeks till fans see him leave the company. While the folks at WWE could be unhappy about him leaving, Tony Khan and AEW will be looking forward to getting him to sign with their company.

In this article, we will take a look at three possible reasons why Bobby Lashley could join AEW after leaving WWE.

#3. Re-form Hurt Business

Hurt Business was one of the hottest stables in WWE. It had MVP and Bobby Lashley being the leaders, with Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander as the members of the group. Out of the four names mentioned, Benjamin has already left WWE and Lashley is seemingly on his way out.

Another accomplice of Lashley is Lio Rush and he recently signed up with AEW. He could want to move to the company to start a new version of the Hurt Business with Lio Rush and Shelton Benjamin given that he would be a free agent soon and could work with the company.

#2. Watching the success of Swerve Strickland

It is fair to say that Bobby Lashley has not been used to his full potential in the Stamford-based promotion and that is mostly down to his poor booking. Fans feel WWE and their creative team are culpable for that. The fact that someone as talented as Lashley has not been the main star of the brand is not good.

Watching Swerve Strickland, who himself is a former WWE star, have success and become the AEW World Champion could sway Lashley’s choice. If that was the case, one cannot fault him wanting to move to Tony Khan’s company.

#1. Bobby Lashley might want a big pay cheque

If there is one thing that Bobby Lashley is, it is that he is a bonafide star. And if there is one thing that Tony Khan does, it is that he pays his top stars top dollar. Given the fact that he may not extend his deal with WWE, he could sign up with AEW and potentially hit the jackpot.

It is something that his talent so richly deserves and given that he is not getting any younger, he might want to make some big bucks before calling it a day from professional wrestling.
