The last time WWE fans saw Bobby Lashley on WWE TV, he was aligned with the Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins).
Lashley was scheduled to compete in the King of the Ring tournament, but was pulled due to injury and never return to TV before his departure over the summer. Lashley would officially sign with AEW in October.
Speaking on the Lame Guys podcast, Lashley laid out his vision for what he wanted to do in WWE.
"Over at AEW, my career and where it is now, it's really good for me. Could I or would I have hoped to stay with WWE? Absolutely. My plan was to have one more, maybe two years, and then retire with WWE. I was doing the stuff with the Street Profits. What I ultimately wanted at the end of that is, when I go out, there are certain things I wanted to do. I wanted Dawkins and or Montez to turn on me, and I wanted to have a feud with one and then the other and eventually have both of them take me out at the end. Both of them are amazingly talented. I ultimately wanted to get beat. There are three or four people that I wanted to go out (against). I wanted every one of them to have a good feud with me and I wanted to put all of them over. It was definitely Dawkins, Montez, Austin Theory, I wanted to turn him babyface, and I never had the opportunity to do something with LA Knight. He and I were good friends in IMPACT and coming over, we had several talks about him coming up and what he was going to do. That would have been a cool one. Outside of that, I had no ego with it, I wanted to go out in the right way. That just didn't happen," said Lashley.
Lashley's last televised WWE match took place on the April 12th episode of WWE SmackDown.
