Bobby Lashley breaks silence after controversial loss at WWE Crown Jewel 2022
WWE Crown Jewel 2022 might not be a memorable one for Bobby Lashley as he breaks his silence after suffering his first one-on-one loss against Brock Lesnar in Saudi Arabia.
The All-Mighty and The Beast Incarnate have similar wrestling and MMA backgrounds but had never crossed paths in the same company. Earlier this year, Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar battled for the first time at WWE Day 1 with Lesnar getting the victory and winning the WWE Championship.
Today, they met each other in Saudi Arabia for WWE Crown Jewel 2022. Lashley put Lesnar in the Hurt Lock, to which the Beast Incarnate reversed it into a pin to win. After the loss, Bobby Lashley opened up about how he felt about Lesnar getting the pin at WWE Crown Jewel 2022:
"I was ready to die out there. There's not a tomorrow for me, there is not a day after tomorrow, there is a now," said Lashley. "That was the biggest challenge that I had, it was beating Brock Lesnar. People have been talking about it for years and I went out there and failed... I failed, that's what happened, I failed. So back to the drawing board, Quit? Give up? What do I do? That was a test and I was supposed to win and then now what?" (From 0:18 to 0:46)
It will be interesting to see what Bobby Lashley does next as he stormed off during the interview and even hinted at quitting and leaving the show after his loss at WWE Crown Jewel 2022.
