Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is currently sidelined after undergoing surgery following a "freak accident" during a match in France. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but Lashley is expected to be out of action for at least a month.
Lashley, a veteran of the wrestling world, has enjoyed a resurgence in his second stint with WWE since 2018. His return after WrestleMania 34 proved highly successful, culminating in two WWE Championship reigns.
However, whispers of Lashley's potential departure from the company have been circulating in recent weeks, with reports suggesting there are "no creative plans for him moving forward".
Adding fuel to the fire, former rival Big E posted a picture of Lashley on X, with the caption "A monster. A specimen. A professional. A gentleman," seemingly a tribute to a wrestler he might never share the ring with again.
Lashley himself has hinted at uncertainty regarding his future, stating he'll reassess his situation once he's fully recovered. While he's pushing through rehabilitation, Lashley has not disclosed the nature of his injury or his current contractual status.
The "All Mighty" wrestler's first run with WWE saw him achieve notable success, notably representing former President Donald Trump in a "Battle of the Billionaires" hair vs. hair match against the late Umaga. The match famously saw former WWE CEO Vince McMahon's hair shaved off.
Lashley's impact on the wrestling world remains significant, and fans are left to wonder whether he will return to WWE or embark on a new chapter in his career.
