The All Mighty might soon be all gone from WWE. There are reports that Bobby Lashley is currently under the terms of a contract that is set to expire within the next few weeks and that, hinting at his looming departure from the promotion, he has already been removed from the internal roster, per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.
This would mark the biggest loss thus far to the roster this summer, Becky Lynch’s hiatus notwithstanding (expectation being she’ll actually return), with Lashley being a legend whose cache far outranks that of Richochet, Dijak.

Though absent since earlier this year from all programming due to injury, his last stint included management of the Street Profits while still also performing in-ring himself. It’s a foregone conclusion that AEW would likely be the first in line to try and sign the future Hall of Famer, should he hit the open market, seeing as he’d one of their biggest grabs ever.
He might also be joined in free agency by MVP, a masterful mic man who has voice his angst with WWE creativity as of late and hasn’t been featured anywhere, with his latest act Omos also being nowhere to be found.
The two have a history together from days within The Hurt Business, so it’s possible that where one goes, the other will follow with hopes of a potential rekindling of that faction.

The WWE has successfully re-signed other major names like Drew McIntyre, Chad Gable and Seth Rollins (who happens to be the husband of Becky Lynch, hint hint) while adding a stable of young firepower like Stephanie Vaquer and Jacob Fatu, and are expected to sign the Motor City Machine Guns as well.
So while they’re not hemorrhaging talent, it can’t be understated just how odd it would be to not see the All Mighty in WWE.
