WWE Rumor Roundup: Management unhappy with major plans being leaked, Current Champion engaged to RAW Superstar, Unfortunate news for Reigns - 1st January 2020

#1 Bobby Lashley talks about getting online hate

Former ECW Champion Bobby Lashley has been involved in the most controversial storyline in WWE at the moment, along with Rusev and Lana. The angle that involves Lana dating Bobby Lashley after having dumped and divorced her real-life husband Rusev has drawn mixed reactions from the fans.

While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Lashley opened up about the cyberbullying he had to face thanks to this angle and how he has dealt with it.

Yes, I’ve experienced a tremendous amount of hate. We as a society come out and we’re anti-bullying, anti-hate, anti-this, anti-that, but I think we actually pick and choose who we hate and bully.

“It’s from the fact that this is interracial, because I’ve had guys saying the n-word to me and, ‘I’m going to kill you, we’re going to get you when you come down south.’ I just kind of sit back and laugh about it.”

It has been reported that Vince McMahon is a fan of the angle, so don't expect it to end anytime soon.
