Bobby Lashley is currently one of the top stars in WWE, but he originally parted ways with the company in 2008. Over the years there have been various rumors regarding why Lashley’s first run wit the company came to an end, and former ECW Champion The Sandman recently claimed Lashley was unhappy with his pay.
However, Lashley responded to the rumors while talking to Rainmaker NYC and shut them down when he said, “No, that’s 100 percent not true. I was making a tremendous amount of money then.”
Bobby Lashley went on to say that he wanted to focus on his fighting career when he added, “It was an opportunity for me to go fight and legitimize my character a little bit,” Lashley explained. “So I fought for eight years under [Scott] Coker and Bellator and Strikeforce and everything else, and now coming back … I take all that with me to kinda legitimize my character a little bit.”
It was recently announced that Bobby Lashley will face off against Brock Lesnar at the Crown Jewel premium live event next month. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
