Former US Champion hints at replacing Bray Wyatt as Bobby Lashley's WrestleMania 39 opponent 3 years after his last WWE match

Bray Wyatt's recent WWE absence has caused quite a lot of concern within the wrestling world. Based on reports, he might even miss WrestleMania 39, which would leave Bobby Lashley without an opponent for The Show of Shows.

WWE is planning a match between them, with the program beginning a week ago. However, following the two-time Universal Champion's disappearance from television, The All Mighty might face someone else at WrestleMania instead. Lashley even tweeted that he doesn't care who he will face at the two-night event in Hollywood and that he will be ready.

Former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona (fka Zack Ryder) has responded to the tweet with another tease that he may return to the company. He contemplated taking up Bobby Lashley's apparent challenge, with Bray Wyatt likely out for WrestleMania.

Cardona mentioned how his last match in the company was against Lashley, who squashed him on the March 9, 2020, episode of RAW. He was released just over a month later due to budget cuts caused by the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. It would be quite a coincidence if the match actually happens.

I’ve worked too hard to be denied.

I will be ready to fight on the biggest stage of them all, #WrestleMania.

I don’t care who it is, somebody will feel the wrath of the All-Mighty.

It will be interesting to see if the former Intercontinental Champion returns to the company, especially after using social media to fuel speculation that he will be back with Triple H in charge of creative.

Since Bray Wyatt is reportedly out of action due to a “physical issue”, where do you go with Bobby Lashley for #WrestleMania 39 now?
