Former Champion reveals the tragedy he went through after his WrestleMania match against Bray Wyatt got scrapped

Every wrestler who steps foot in the WWE ring has a dream of competing at WrestleMania. When it comes to already-established stars like Bobby Lashley, one might not think of leaving him out of the matchcard. However, WWE left him out of the WrestleMania 39 card due to an unavoidable circumstance. This move from WWE hit him hard, like a tragedy.

When WWE was on the road to WrestleMania 39, countless reports suggested that Bobby Lashley was up for a program against Bray Wyatt. Fans saw their feud on SmackDown a few weeks before Mania. However, it didn’t come to fruition as Wyatt encountered serious health issues. As a result, Lashley’s WrestleMania plans were scrapped.

While speaking on the After the Bell podcast, Bobby Lashley said that the business is quite troubling at times, and the uncertainty factor hits a superstar hard. Speaking about WrestleMania 39, the All-Mighty said that he worked hard a lot throughout the year. As a result, being left out of The Show of Shows hit him hard.

Moreover, Bobby Lashley stated that he has maintained a level in the company and has been working according to the standards he set. He revealed that the saddest part of it was answering his children’s questions about whether to book tickets to Los Angeles.

If you’re talking about the last break I took… the situation involving WrestleMania kind of really, really hit me pretty hard. I’d put in a lot of work throughout the year. And when that big show came around, I just didn’t have a spot at WrestleMania.

The former World Champion was crestfallen when he was informed about not getting a spot at WrestleMania. Bobby Lashley revealed that all that time he had been wishing deep inside that he would get a call from WWE. Lashley was unable to answer his children when they asked whether he would be part of The Showcase of the Immortals.

Bobby Lashley and Street Profits plans to go after the WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championships

Ever since his plans with Bray Wyatt got nixed, the All-Mighty has been looking for a new direction. He made a crucial change by building a new stable on the main roster. Instead of tagging back with Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin, he took the Street Profits under his wing.

The trio has faced a fair share of challenges as they tried to make their presence felt against LWO. However, recently, the fans saw them gain some momentum as they decided to challenge a big faction. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Montez Ford revealed how they plan to challenge The Judgment Day.

The task in hand right now obviously is Bobby Lashley, The Street Profits winning the Undisputed Tag Team Championships.

For those who don’t know, Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits faced The Judgment Day back in September 2023. When Finn Balor, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio appeared on SmackDown, the trio soon interrupted them. However, since then, there has been no interaction among them. It would be interesting to see if their rivalry would unfold in the future.
