Bobby Lashley vows to destroy Karrion Kross, AOP, and anyone else who gets in his way.
In recent months, Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) have been feuding with Karrion Kross and the rest of The Final Testament (Akam, Rezar, Paul Ellering, and Scarlett). Kross attacked Lashley backstage on the March 29 episode of WWE SmackDown; in doing so, he cost The Street Profits their match against Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. With a win, The Street Profits would have qualified for the Six-Pack Tag Team Ladder Match at WrestleMania 40.
In a SmackDown Exclusive, Bobby Lashley shared his thoughts on the latest setback and made it clear that he would be changing moving forward.
"I don’t even know where I’m at right now. Everything that’s been going on. Tried to be a nice guy. I tried to suppress that anger that I had in me for so many years. Tried to put on a smile, do what everybody wanted. One thing I can say is Kross was right about one thing. It’s that I try to please too many people. I was over here shaking people’s hands, and I did that because the person that I was a few years ago, I didn’t like. It was starting to scare me. It was starting to scare me, the person that I was, the anger that I had inside me. So I put on a big smile and I ran around and I started being the person that I thought everybody wanted me to be. To be honest, that’s been the worst time of my professional wrestling career. Tonight, I not only let down myself, but I let down those two guys that had an opportunity to go to WrestleMania and win back those tag team titles. I was supposed to be the one to help them win those titles back and get back on top. But instead, I was trying to do the right thing. Let me tell you one thing. It’s gonna be a different me, and it starts with you, Kross. Next time I see you and AOP…the old me is coming back. I’m destroying you, I’m destroying everybody else in my way. I was the champion for a reason. I’m gonna get back to being the person I was before, whether you like me or not," Lashley said.
