Major WWE star shares honest thoughts on Bobby Lashley reportedly signing with AEW
Former WWE Superstar Bobby Lashley is reportedly on his way to AEW. Booker T recently shared his thoughts on the matter.
Last week on AEW Dynamite, MVP made a surprise appearance on the show. This week, Shelton Benjamin made his debut for the Tony Khan-led promotion. It is only a matter of time before The All Mighty joins them and they reunite the Hurt Business. The former WWE Champion parted ways with the global wrestling juggernaut in August 2024 after his contract expired. Fightful Select reported that he has already inked a deal with the Tony Khan-led promotion and his debut is impending.
While speaking on the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T stated that he was happy Bobby Lashley is headed to AEW.
"I said that about MVP, of course I'm gonna say that about Shelton (Benjamin) and Bobby (Lashley), man. Those are my guys. I want to see those guys come up, I don't want to see anybody out in the cold in this situation. I'm glad that Tony Khan pulled the trigger, got them all in and continue the Hurt Syndicate, whatever they're calling themselves. I like it, I like it a lot," Booker T said. [33:42 - 34:08]
