What happened to Bobby Lashley? Reason for his WWE absence

Over the past few months, Bobby Lashley has been on hiatus from WWE. The All Mighty last wrestled in the squared circle on May 5, 2024, when he defeated Santos Escobar at a house show. Since then, the former WWE Champion has disappeared both from live events and television.

The reason behind Lashley's absence from the Stamford-based promotion was revealed to be an injury. Initially, the 48-year-old star was slated to compete in the King of the Ring tournament. Nonetheless, he was soon replaced when WWE announced that Bobby had suffered an injury during his training.

As a result, Pride member Angelo Dawkins took his spot in the tournament but failed to qualify.

After the announcement of this injury, a report surfaced stating that Lashley's injury was legitimate. WWE was well aware of this real-life injury in advance and began looking for his replacement in the KOTR.

As of now, there is no official update on Bobby Lashley's recovery. However, the former WWE Champion has posted some workout pictures on Instagram with captions like working and rebuilding, suggesting that he is on the path to recovery.

What recently happened to Bobby Lashley?

Just a few hours ago, a report circulated that Bobby Lashley has been removed from WWE's internal roster. This news has shocked fans, who are surprised by the company's decision. Additionally, it has been revealed that Lashley's contract is set to expire soon, potentially within the next one or two weeks.

As of now, there is no news regarding Lashley's contract renewal plans with WWE. Given the accolades and achievements of the All Mighty in the Stamford-based promotion, the lack of news regarding his contract renewal is certainly stunning and concerning for fans.

Alongside the former champion, MVP and Tamina were reportedly also removed from the internal roster. Following the news, MVP took to his X account and posted a cryptic emoji, seemingly signifying a goodbye. This could be a signal of MVP affirming the news of his removal from WWE's internal list and declaring it true.

We have to wait for complete confirmation from World Wrestling Entertainment regarding this whole scenario, as all three stars are still listed on WWE's official website. It remains to be seen how things will unfold in the upcoming days and whether, like MVP, Bobby Lashley or Tamina will acknowledge these latest reports surfacing on the internet.

Additionally, fans are eagerly waiting to see if Triple H will renew Bobby Lashley's contract ahead of its expiration.
