Who Should Bobby Lashley Face at WrestleMania 39 If Bray Wyatt Can’t Make the Show?

March 14, 2023, 9:52am

WrestleMania 39 is less than a month away and Bobby Lashley’s status for the show is suddenly uncertain. News broke on Monday that Bray Wyatt was dealing with “physical issues” (possibly an illness) that resulted in him missing WWE’s live event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. With rumors that Wyatt might also miss WrestleMania swirling online, Lashley took to Twitter and seemingly opened the door for a new opponent to fill in for Wyatt. He tweeted, “I’ve worked too hard to be denied. I will be ready to fight on the biggest stage of them all, #WrestleMania. I don’t care who it is, somebody will feel the wrath of the All-Mighty.”

Run It Back

Lashley needs to be going full Jarrett mode backstage to slip his way back into working with Brock as we speak.

Maybe Still Bray?

Dave on WOR on Bray: "From what I understand the match (Bray/Lashley) is still on for Mania and he should be back very soon. That's pretty much all I can say and there is something to it but I'm not at liberty to discuss it." Adds that he's been told it's not a creative issue.
