Bobby Lashley Confirms He’s Cleared for In-Ring Return After Injury

Bobby Lashley says the injury is behind him — and he’s ready to compete inside the squared circle again.

After being sidelined for months following AEW Full Gear, Lashley has now confirmed he’s healed and cleared to return. Speaking to Monopoly Events on February 27, 2026, The All Mighty addressed the speculation surrounding his absence and made it clear he’s no longer on the injured list. Rather than teasing a slow comeback, Lashley immediately pointed toward championship gold — specifically alongside MVP and Shelton Benjamin.

“I mean, between Shelton and MVP, we want to do things collectively. We want to move as a group. So I think we’re going after the trios titles. Let’s see what we can do with those guys, because that’s what we need right now.”

Lashley explained that the trio’s bond goes beyond wrestling storylines, describing the group as a real support system — especially during his recovery.

“Shelton is an amazing person and an amazing wrestler. MVP is amazing at everything he does. And I bring my part to the table too. We’ve got a great group, and we’re all friends. We pull for each other. If one of us is down, the other two pick him up.”

He even acknowledged that during his injury layoff, MVP and Shelton Benjamin kept him motivated. Then came the clearest statement of all — a direct message to anyone who thought he was still hurt.

“Right now, they’re pulling me up. They’re yanking me back in and saying, ‘It’s time. We’re ready to get back out there and win some titles.’ I’m healed. Everybody thought I was hurt — I’m not hurt. You can't hurt the Almighty. Ready to go.”

Lashley hasn’t wrestled since competing in the Casino Gauntlet match to crown the first-ever AEW National Champion at Full Gear. MVP kept his name alive on AEW television during that stretch, but now the physical return appears imminent. With the injury chapter closed, the focus shifts to what’s next — and if Lashley has his way, it’s a run at the AEW Trios Championships.

Should Bobby Lashley jump straight into the trios division, or would you rather see him chase singles gold first? Let us know your thoughts below.
