Bobby Lashley has officially confirmed he is healthy and ready to return to the ring following an absence that began after AEW Full Gear in November 2025. Speaking at the For the Love of Wrestling convention in the United Kingdom, Lashley dismissed reports of a lingering injury and made it clear that he is focused on securing gold alongside his Hurt Syndicate stablemates, MVP and Shelton Benjamin.
“So I am healed. Everybody thought I was hurt, I’m not hurt. You can’t hurt the All Mighty,” Lashley declared.
While many fans expected Lashley to pursue the AEW World Championship—currently held by MJF, a man with a tumultuous history involving The Hurt Syndicate—Lashley revealed that his primary focus is on the Trios division. He wants the group to operate collectively to reclaim the dominance they displayed in the past.
“All I want to do is win titles, so that’s where I’m really focused on. When we get back, between Shelton and MVP, we want to do things collectively. We want to do things as a group,” Lashley said. “So I think we’re going to go after the Trios guys. Let’s see what we can do with those guys. Because I think that’s what we need, man. The crowd loves us over there. We have an opportunity to bring back what we have before. And it’s real, man.”
The current AEW World Trios Champions are the team of “Hangman” Adam Page, Kevin Knight, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Lashley praised the chemistry of his own group, noting that the deep-rooted friendship between himself, Benjamin, and MVP allows them to support one another through challenges.
Regarding the AEW World Title scene, Lashley acknowledged the unfinished business surrounding MJF but maintained a professional outlook as he prepares for his comeback. “MJF has the title, so I think everybody has some unfinished business with him. But, you know what, I have no hard feelings to anyone,” he added.
AEW has not officially announced the date for Lashley’s televised return, but with the “All Mighty” back at 100%, the Trios division appears to be on a collision course with The Hurt Syndicate.
