Potential speculation on Bobby Lashley’s AEW debut following recent move (Exclusive)
Bobby Lashley has reportedly signed with AEW. He was rumored to make his debut at WrestleDream, but that didn't happen. The All Mighty's potential debut date was recently discussed by Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter and WrestleVotes.
Lashley left WWE earlier this year in August after his contract with the company expired. According to Fightful, he has already inked a deal with the Tony Khan-led promotion but has yet to make his first appearance on TV. Meanwhile, his former Hurt Business stablemates, MVP and Shelton Benjamin, have already showed up on AEW television.
In an exclusive Live Q&A with Bill Apter on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes commented on The All Mighty's imminent AEW debut. Although they couldn't provide a specific date for his arrival, it was said that fans might see him in the next three to four weeks.
"I don't have a specific date, although tomorrow night they're doing Shelton Benjamin vs Lio Rush. Shelton's first match, so I guess it's possible there. The other date that sticks out is the next pay-per-view, Full Gear, in Newark, New Jersey. It's gonna be a packed house. So the more people, the louder the pop, the more the excitement. I could see it happening there, I guess. Or maybe even the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a special Dynamite. You know that might be something to do, but I'd imagine sometime in the next three to four weeks he makes his debut," WrestleVotes reported.
Major potential update on Bobby Lashley following AEW WrestleDream
Fightful Select recently reported that Bobby Lashley is now under contract with All Elite Wrestling. He is expected to join The Hurt Syndicate as rumored. However, the former WWE Champion hasn't been present backstage for recent AEW shows and events.
He was reportedly supposed to debut at WrestleDream, but the plan didn't materialize. The company believed Bobby Lashley's appearance at Tacoma Dome would have undermined Swerve Strickland's homecoming. The Realest confronted MVP and Shelton Benjamin on the show, rejecting the former WWE duo's offer to join The Hurt Syndicate on Saturday. He chose to stay loyal to Prince Nana.
