WWE recently made a notable change on the superstars section of their website, officially confirming recent widespread reports. Bobby Lashley is no longer with the company.
Following weeks of speculation over his future, The All Mighty has been moved to the Alumni section on WWE.com. Lashley’s contract allegedly expired last weekend, with him and a few other superstars being removed from the company’s internal roster a few weeks ago. He was on the SmackDown roster on the website until it got updated today.
Bobby Lashley’s former manager, MVP, has also left WWE. He even made an appearance at GCW Bloodsport to challenge Josh Barnett to a match. Meanwhile, The All Mighty is recovering from an injury he suffered during the company’s tour of France one month after WrestleMania XL.

While he did not disclose what his injury was, Lashley confirmed he had to undergo surgery following a “freak accident” during a match in France. The former world champion was told he’d be out for six months but plans on returning to action as soon as possible, although it isn’t known where he will show up next.
Bobby Lashley was a success in WWE
Lashley’s booking wasn’t always the most consistent, but he remained a major star throughout his run in the company. The All-Mighty became a main-eventer in 2021, thanks in no small part to the formation of The Hurt Business.
While the faction dissolved quickly, Bobby Lashley won the WWE Championship twice. However, the past few years weren’t the greatest for him. Despite being one of the most over-stars on RAW and SmackDown, Lashley was made to play a secondary role.While a potential Hurt Business reunion was scrapped, The All-Mighty led another group. Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits were together for a year, but failed to do anything of note aside from their WrestleMania match against The Final Testament.
