Upon his comeback to WWE on April 9, 2018, Bobby Lashley’s return left fans amazed. When he showed up on Monday Night Raw following WrestleMania 34, he amazed the audience. Lashley wasted no time in making his presence known, attacking Elijah and quickly setting up he is also a great defender. This marked the beginning of an exciting phase in his career, which would later see him become a leading figure in the injury industry.
The rise of bankrupt businesses
In 2020, Lashley became an original member of The Hurt Business alongside MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander. This team soon became dominant on Raw, with MVP as Lashley’s spokesperson and mentor. The team’s success was undeniable and Lashley’s career rose to new heights. However, recent developments have fans knowing about the future of these WWE veterans.
Deleting the emergency list
Reports suggest that Bobby Lashley’s agreement with WWE may be coming to a close. Surprisingly, Lashley is no more part of the WWE roster. This shocking news is not unique to Lashley. MVP and Tamina have also been removed from the roster. Although not confirmed yet, this move suggests that big changes are coming to the WWE.
Fan Techniques and Thinking
The WWE Universe is bursting with theories about this surprising roster change. Some fans are predicting that WWE will start cutting its annual budget earlier than usual. In the past, the company has released one or two stars a year, usually aimed at mid-card players or players who have passed the first season. However, the download of “Hurt Business” left fans scratching their heads.

Lack of creative planning?
Many fans believe that the reason why MVP Bobby Lashley and Tamina came out was due to a lack of creative planning. For example, MVP hasn’t appeared on a WWE program in a long time. After his time on Hurt Business, his new job as manager of Omos kept him out of the limelight. Tamina has been around for a long time, with his last match coming in February 2023 during the main event show.

Too many groups?
Another theory floating around is that WWE may know they have too many divisions. WWE has a roster that includes groups such as The Last Covenant, The New Day, Alpha Academy, The Wyatt Sicks6, and Bloodline. Many people decided to stop “bad business”.
Injury concerns
Some fans believe that Lashley’s departure was due to injury and not a complete release. Several months ago, Lashley was supposed to compete in the Lord of the Rings tournament, but he pulled out due to an injury he suffered in training. Since then he has been on hiatus. Is his absence from the lineup just because of this injury?
Isn’t he off the internal roster because he’s injured? Thought they did that for all of them. Could be wrong.

AEW connection
Most WWE fans believe that Lashley and Business Hurt will find a new home in Elite Wrestling (AEW). AEW has a history of recruiting major talent from WWE, including stars such as Edge, Chris Jericho, and Mercedes Moné. Fans are already suspecting the potential for Hurt Business in AEW.
Touch reaction
The deleted message sparked outrage from fans. Many people took to social media to express their shock and sadness. Some fans said that Lashley’s mic skills were not up to par, which may have influenced WWE’s decision. Some believe that Lashley’s injury played a role in his shooting.
MVP was obviously going to happen
Tamina was a great locker room presence but ultimately she spent 15 years on the roster without being any good
But Lashley? Man…i just do not understand Trips with this. Lashley had IT. He has had it since his time in Impact. You could have…

Supporters are eagerly anticipating the next moves of her and the rest of The Hurt Business. Whether in AEW or another wrestling promotion, their journey will be watched by wrestling fans around the world.
