#1. Hope isn't true: The unfortunate aftermath of Bobby Lashley's WWE title loss

Bobby Lashley has been one of the most important stars in WWE since the pandemic in 2020. He was one of the superstars who benefited from having no crowds, and his character turned into a more serious one, fulfilling his potential to become the WWE Champion.

However, his second reign with the title ended abruptly at Elimination Chamber. While he was believed to be one of the favorites aside from Brock Lesnar, he was taken out during the match and never returned, making it easy for The Beast Incarnate to wipe out the rest of the competition.

As per former creative writer Kazeem Famuyide on The Ringer Wrestling Show, Bobby Lashley could be legitimately injured and is possibly missing WrestleMania 38:

“I have under good authority that Lashley is shoot hurt and has been hurt since the Rumble match. If you’ve noticed, he hasn’t worked any Raw’s. He hasn’t really defended his title. He was shoot hurt at the Lesnar match at the Rumble. From what I’m told, it’s for at least 4 months. Shoulder surgery. I’m hearing that he might not even make it to Mania.”

We hope this isn't true because it's an unfortunate time to get injured. While he was protected in the process and is likely to have a successful return, he deserves to compete at The Grandest Stage of Them All again.
