Bobby Lashley Slams WWE's Post-Pandemic Treatment Of The Hurt Business

During an interview with K&S WrestleFest, Lashley spoke in detail about his run with the Hurt Business in WWE and said that getting overlooked after the pandemic era of WWE finished was a spit in the face.

“It was kind of a spit in the face,” Lashley said on how he and the Hurt Business were treated coming out of the pandemic. “We were never in front of a live crowd.

In the same interview, Lashley said that the new creative regime after Vince McMahon left wasn’t high on him.

“Different strokes for different folks,” Lashley said of current WWE creative leadership. “Different people like different things. When the regime changed, the regime wasn’t too high on me at all.”

Lashley opened WrestleMania 37, which was the first WWE live event in over a year, against Drew McIntyre in a WWE Championship match. Currently, reports indicate that Lashley is scheduled to join MVP and Benjamin in AEW.
