Top WWE Star Shares Honest Reaction To Being Left Off WrestleMania 39 Card

WrestleMania is WWE’s biggest show of the year which means everyone is trying to get a spot on the card. Bobby Lashley has certainly been on a roll for quite some time now, but unfortunately for Lashley he didn’t end up wrestling on the Grandest Stage of Them All this year.

Following his victory over Brock Lesnar at Elimination Chamber it seemed that the All Mighty was building toward a potential match with Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 39. However, Wyatt was sidelined due to health issues and Lashley ended up competing in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal on the SmackDown before WrestleMania instead.

Being left off the WrestleMania card is never easy and Bobby Lashley recently explained what it was like for him during an appearance on the After The Bell podcast.

“Our business is very troubling at times and it’s very stressful, mentally. Because you want to know where you’re at. And if you’re talking about the last break I took… the situation involving WrestleMania kind of really, really hit me pretty hard. I’d put in a lot of work throughout the year. I put myself on a certain level within the company and I’ve kept that level up. I work my ass off and I train hard all the time. And everybody knows that’s just me.

“And when that big show came around, I just didn’t have a spot at WrestleMania. You try and hold it in and when you have your kids calling when you’re supposed to be there. And I’m there in Los Angeles ready to go. The whole time you’re thinking ‘Call me in coach! Call me in coach! Call me in, call me in. I’m ready!’

“My kids, after the first day, called me. ‘Dad are you going to be on it? Because if you’re on we’ll fly up and see you’ and everything like that. Because they’ve been to everything that I was in. So that was a little bit of a mind trip, taking a backseat at a time like that.”
