Bobby Lashley saiu hoje mesmo (23 de Janeiro) da WWE. O atleta, já praticamente recuperado de uma lesão que o pôs de fora nos últimos meses, resolveu sair da empresa, mas ainda não se sabem as causas dessa decisão.
Bobby Lashley escreveu no seu site oficial: "Circumstances, which are out of my control left me no decision but to leave the WWE. I can't go into details of this now but like I said before, sometimes people will hate you personally and try to destroy you, which has happened here. Evil has prevailed. However like I said before, if you continue your struggle, doors will open around these people. You have not seen the last of me, so please don't stop your support. Add Bobby Lashley to the list of RECENTLY RELEASED!"
Já se diz, no entanto, que Bobby Lashley prepara uma carreira nas federações de MMA. O próprio parece referir-se a isso quando diz: "I am not sure what I will be doing the next few months. I said I am in fighting shape because if I am not wrestling, I will be fighting. Wrestling is my passion but sometimes things are out of your control. The time off I've had was well needed and was not in vain. I had surgery in August, which was pretty serious. I had to have 5 connectors put in my shoulder to repair my torn labrum. I was slated to be out for 6 months but I think that diagnosis was for an average person. I’m ready for action and I have been for some time now. Whatever action that may be, I will be ready."
