Former WWE Champion Injured in Match

Former WWE champion Bobby Lashley is currently sidelined as he recovers from surgery due to a 'freak accident' that occurred during a match in France. This incident has raised questions about his future with the company, as his contract status remains uncertain. Lashley, who has been with WWE since 2018 in his second stint, made a notable return to the ring the night after WrestleMania 34 and has since enjoyed significant success, including two WWE Championship victories. Lashley's first tenure with WWE was marked by memorable moments, such as his participation in the 'Battle of the Billionaires' match, where he represented former President Donald Trump. This match culminated in a dramatic hair vs. hair outcome, resulting in the shaving of former CEO Vince McMahon's hair. Despite the challenges posed by his recent surgery, Lashley remains optimistic about his recovery, stating, "I had surgery. They told me I wasn’t supposed to be back for six months. I’m working out and lifting." The former champion expressed confidence in his rehabilitation, suggesting he may be ready for a return in less than a month. "I think I’ll be ready and cleared in less than a month. At that time, we’ll see what happens," he remarked. Meanwhile, former rival Big E took to social media to share a tribute to Lashley, calling him "A monster. A specimen. A professional. A gentleman," highlighting the respect he commands within the wrestling community.
