WWE superstar Bobby Lashley recently expressed his disappointment about not being able to participate in a match at the latest WrestleMania 39.
In an interview with the Wrestling News Co, Lashley reflected on his absence from WrestleMania 39, considering it a low point and labeling the event as the lowest moment in his career.
Lashley elaborated on his WrestleMania 39 absence, describing it as “probably one of the lowest points” in his professional journey.
Lashley said:
“I was beyond disappointed. I’m not gonna say pessimistic, [but I was] disappointed, because I am a kind of chill person. The thing that disappoints me the most is all the work that I put in.
“We have live events throughout the year, I’m on all of them – every one of the pay-per-views. We had some mix ups and change ups, and then next [thing] you know I’m pulled off the biggest show,”
“It sucked to me, because I have my kids. The kids watch me, and leading up to it they were like, ‘Dad are we going to Wrestlemania?’
“And I was like, ‘Look, if you guys want to go. I just don’t know if I’m gonna do anything there.’
“All the while I was like, ‘There’s no way that’s gonna be [the case]. I have to be in WrestleMania. I’ve been in every WrestleMania in my entire career with the WWE.
“I’ve always been in a spotlight match. I have been in every pay-per-view, everything.”
Originally slated for a match featuring Lashley and Bray Wyatt, the plans took a turn when Wyatt had to withdraw from the competition due to health issues.
Despite the setback, Lashley went on to secure victory in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on SmackDown just before WrestleMania 39.
During night two of the tournament, Lashley made a special appearance, proudly displaying his Memorial Cup trophy. Although it wasn’t the anticipated WrestleMania match, the experience added a unique and memorable chapter to Lashley’s wrestling career.
