Bobby Lashley On Why WWE Will Never Be Contested Or Beaten

WWE has been the top company in the world of professional wrestling for decades, and even though WCW had the company on the ropes during the Monday Night Wars, World Wrestling Entertainment managed to bounce back strong and beat out the competition.

With the emergence of All Elite Wrestling many people have wondered if the company could ever become serious competition for WWE, but during a recent interview with TV Insider current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley stated that the company will never be beaten or contested.

“I think the feeling is good. We get tested with so many things. Everyone will say, “This is it. This is the downfall of WWE.” It’s never going to be. We have so much talent in WWE. WWE is never going to be beaten or contested. It’s always going to be the flagship of professional wrestling. That’s never going to change.”

WWE has released a number of talents this year due to budget cuts, and Lashley shared some important advice for talents who have been let go.

“I just tell the guys if you do get that call, and they say your contact expired, or they have to let you go, the worst thing you can do is be one of those people who goes online bad-mouthing. It looks really sad. A lot of these guys wouldn’t even be the guys they were without WWE. They made a name for themselves. They can just look back at the money they received from WWE up to this point. Then you’re here telling this company you hate them, but you have a brand new house, swimming pool in the back, kids are taken care of with a lot of money in the bank.

When I first left, I kept my head down. I kept grinding and knew I was going to find another option to get in again. I never burned any bridges. I came back and became a world champion. Things change all the time. And if it’s not your time, it’s not your time. You just keep grinding because there is a lot of money to be made in the wrestling business. I want to see everyone succeed.”
