The All-Mighty Bobby Lashley made his return on this week’s episode of SmackDown. He appeared backstage at the PNC Arena and met the Street Profits. Lashley hinted at the possibility of forming a new faction with them. It has been rumored that the Hurt Business could be built again with new faces this time.

A backstage segment showed Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins waiting for someone to arrive. As they talked about it, they saw a stretched limo coming towards them and stopped. To everyone’s surprise, Bobby Lashley came out of it. He greeted Ford and Dawkins while asking about their well-being and invited them into his limo to talk about business.

This marked Lashley’s first appearance since he got injured and bled heavily on the May 12 episode of SmackDown. The trio of Bobby and the Street Profits then drove away in their limo, leaving the WWE Universe astounded. This could be an indication of a new faction formed by these three superstars.

Bobby Lashley suffered an injury and started bleeding on his last appearance on the May 12 episode of SmackDown. He received a cut on his head during the triple threat match between him, Sheamus, and Austin Theory. The match was held to determine who would advance to the World Heavyweight Championship’s tournament semifinal.

Although Lashley won the triple threat bout, he got split open after Theory smashed him into the steel steps. During the same night, he battled AJ Styles in the show’s main event to determine who would face Seth Rollins in the tournament’s final. The match once again opened Bobby’s cut and he started to bleed again.

Bobby not only started bleeding again but also lost the match in an unfortunate way. As a result, he has been away from WWE programming for two months. This week on the July 14 episode of SmackDown, he made his appearance and hinted at a possible faction with The Street Profits.
