Bobby Lashley has shared an update stating he is fully healed from his reported injury and prepared to return to All Elite Wrestling. Speaking at a convention in the United Kingdom, the wrestler emphasized his focus on pursuing titles alongside his stablemates. Lashley last appeared in the ring at AEW Full Gear in November 2025.
Bobby Lashley, a member of The Hurt Syndicate in All Elite Wrestling, provided reassurance about his health during an appearance at the For the Love of Wrestling convention in the United Kingdom. He had not competed since participating in the Casino Gauntlet Match at AEW Full Gear in November 2025, where he vied for the inaugural AEW National Championship but lost to Ricochet, who remains the champion.
MVP announced Lashley's injury on the December 13, 2025, episode of AEW Collision, marking the start of his three-month absence. In interviews with Monopoly Sports and at the convention, Lashley dismissed ongoing concerns, stating, "So I am healed. Everybody thought I was hurt, I’m not hurt. You can’t hurt the All Mighty."
Lashley, who joined AEW in the fall of 2024 alongside MVP and Shelton Benjamin to form The Hurt Syndicate, expressed enthusiasm for a collective return. He said, "All I want to do is win titles. That’s what I’m focused on when we get back. Between Shelton and MVP, we want to do things collectively. We want to move as a group. So I think we’re going to go after the trios titles." He highlighted the group's strong camaraderie, noting, "Shelton’s an amazing person, an amazing wrestler. MVP is amazing at everything he does. We’ve got a great group, and we’re all friends, so we pull for each other."
While acknowledging unfinished business with AEW World Champion MJF, Lashley added, "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." The current AEW World Trios Champions are “Hangman” Adam Page, Kevin Knight, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. AEW has not announced a specific date for Lashley's return to television, but his update signals an imminent comeback focused on the trios division.
Prior to AEW, Lashley had a notable WWE career, including two world championships and participation in the 2007 Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23, where he represented Donald Trump against Vince McMahon.
