Bobby Lashley opted to leave WWE when his deal was up and signed with AEW, where he has reunited with the Hurt Business alongside MVP and Shelton Benjamin as the Hurt Syndicate. While in AEW, he has been positioned as a top star since then.
While speaking with Denise Salcedo at the AEW All In: Texas ticket on sale countdown event, Lashley discussed the difference between AEW and WWE.
“When I was with the WWE, it was like everything was very structured. There was a lot of structure there,e and coming over to AEW, it gave you a little bit more creative liberty to just kind of have fun a little bit. I had those times, you know when I was in WWE originally when I first came in, and then I left, and I went to TNA, I got to really just open up and really develop and find myself as a character when I was with TNA because I had a little less. I had more flexibility, and then going back into WWE, the structure came back, which was good, and I really like what they have over there and then afterward, at this stage of my career, being an older athlete, just to have the ability to be able to help out younger guys and be able to have creativity and be able to explore things that I want to do I said, ‘Hey man I think it’s perfect for me at this point in my my life.'”
