Bobby Lashley is widely recognized as a legitimate force in the world of wrestling, known for his fearlessness and readiness to engage in any challenge. He’s unafraid to speak his mind and has recently expressed feeling restricted or limited in his opportunities over the past year.
In recent months, Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits, consisting of Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford, have been locked in a heated feud with Karrion Kross and the rest of The Final Testament, including Akam, Rezar, Paul Ellering, and Scarlett. The tension escalated when Kross attacked Lashley backstage during the March 29 episode of WWE SmackDown.
This interference by Kross resulted in The Street Profits losing their match against Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. Had The Street Profits won, they would have secured a spot in the Six-Pack Tag Team Ladder Match at WrestleMania 40.
Bobby Lashley made an appearance on WWE’s The Bump today to discuss his upcoming match at WrestleMania. At the beginning of the interview, Lashley spoke about his interaction with fans and the importance of connecting with them during his time in the wrestling world.
Expressing his excitement for the upcoming weekend, Lashley voiced his feelings of being constrained over the past year. The Almighty admitted that he felt handcuffed for the past year in WWE.
“I get to fight. This whole year, I’ve been handcuffed lately. I’m looking at the main event. There’s 4 guys in the main event. I’ve beaten three of them. Not throwing it out there, just saying. I feel like I’ve been handcuffed a little bit. But this is my opportunity to beat up Kross and his boys and then we’re gonna look at bigger things afterwards.”
“I’ve been doing this for a long time. The end of the road is gonna be sometime, I don’t know. Not soon hopefully. While I’m here, I’m gonna be here for you guys.”
On Night 2 of WrestleMania 40, Lashley and The Street Profits are set to face off against The Final Testament (Karrion Kross, Adkam, and Rezar) in a Philadelphia Street Fight. Regarding his post-WrestleMania plans, Lashley’s remarks suggest that he will soon ascend the card to pursue bigger opportunities, so we’ll have to see what will become of Lashely in the end.
