Bobby Lashley highlights Sheamus and his toughness.
Bobby Lashley and Sheamus have been two of the toughest powerhouses in WWE for some time now. They were both renowned for their work in the pandemic era as they helped carry WWE Raw by consistently putting on hard-hitting bouts that delighted fans. They previously had two singles matches in 2021, and they have faced off a few times since then.
Speaking on The Laboratory with Plaz, Bobby Lashley was asked about some of his toughest opponents, and he highlighted Sheamus. He noted that Sheamus hit hard, and it felt like they were really fighting when they shared the ring.
"One person known for putting in heavy leather is Sheamus. Sheamus will beat you up in the ring. He’ll slap you harder and tear your chest. Me and Sheamus hadn’t touched in forever, and then they booked us and it was me and Sheamus. It was early in the day so people saw it. Everybody is starting to talk, ‘Bobby and Sheamus.’ Why is everybody talking? Someone came up to me, it might have been Finn (Balor), ‘Oh, you got Sheamus?’ ’Yeah. ‘Ohhh...’ and then he walks off. Over the day, three or four other people came over to me. ‘You got Sheamus?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘Ahhh,’ and then they walk out. Man, sure enough, when we started that match, Sheamus came in hard. Boom! He clubbed me so hard. ‘Uh oh, I’m in a fight.’ We were fighting, really fighting. That’s how he likes it. That’s what he does. Sheamus is a different character. What he gives, he takes. ‘Okay, we’re just going to beat each other up here’ and it’s going to be a good match because of it," Lashley said.
During the interview, Lashley said that he was recovering from surgery. Check out his comments here.
