The heart of the matter
Bobby Lashley would go on to defeat Umaga, following which Lashley, Trump and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin shaved Vince McMahon bald in the middle of the ring.
Donald Trump is now the President of the United States of America, and Lashley recently sent out an invite to the POTUS, requesting Trump to corner him at Slammiversary. Below are a few excerpts from Impact Wrestling’s statements regarding the same:
“IMPACT Wrestling World Champion Bobby Lashley made an unprecedented Presidential appeal on Thursday morning. Via Twitter, Lashley (@fightbobby) asked President Donald Trump to be in his corner for his title defense at Slammiversary on July 2, when Lashley puts the gold on the line against Alberto El Patron.”
“El Patron earlier this week announced that his father, legendary Mexican wrestler Dos Caras, will be in his corner at Slammiversary. Lashley asked Trump to join him at Slammiversary, which will be held on pay-per-view and filmed at the backlot of Universal Studios Florida in Orlando”
What’s next?
Slammiversary XV will air on PPV from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida on July 2nd. The event will see Impact Wrestling Heavyweight Champion Bobby Lashley face GFW Global Champion Alberto El Patron in a title-unification bout.
Author’s take
It’s intriguing to note that Alberto will be cornered by his father Dos Caras, who himself is a legendary professional wrestler.
Considering that, it’d be intriguing to see who corners Alberto’s opponent Lashley for the high-profile title-unification matchup. And by the way, the chances of the US Commander-In-Chief cornering Lashley appear bleak, to be honest.
