Wrestling veteran shocked as WWE favors Sami Zayn ahead of former World Champion (Exclusive)

Former wrestling writer Vince Russo feels WWE squandered Bobby Lashley's talents while pushing stars like Sami Zayn. The All Mighty is reported to be leaving the company after his current deal expires.

The rumors of Bobby Lashley leaving started speculating after WWE removed him from their internal rosters. The star hasn't been seen on TV for months. He was earlier paired up with The Streets Profits and was involved in a feud against Karrion Kross' The Final Testament.

On the latest episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo pointed out how Zayn and Lashley had contrasting looks. He detailed that any casual viewer would consider The All Mighty to be a bigger star than Sami. The former writer felt it was sad that there were discussions of a talent like Bobby parting ways with the company while Sami was in the main event of the flagship show.

"Seriously, if you took a picture of Bobby Lashley and put it side by side with a picture of Sami Zayn and you asked a hundred thousand non-wrestling fans, if I told you one of these people were a star, who would you pick? Bro, not one single person would pick Sami Zayn. But yet, this guy is in the main event of RAW, the same day Bobby Lashley is being released? What?" [From 7:33 onwards]

Bobby Lashley has a Hall of Fame-worthy career in WWE. He is a former WWE Champion, ECW Champion, Intercontinental Champion, and United States Champion.

It will be interesting to see where Bobby Lashley lands after his stint with WWE ends.
