Bobby Lashley Suffered Injury At Royal Rumble

WWE

It has emerged that Bobby Lashley suffered an injury during his match with Brock Lesnar at WWE Royal Rumble.

Bobby Lashley was confusingly taken out of the Elimination Chamber match at last night’s (February 19) Elimination Chamber event, with WWE claiming that he had undergone concussion protocol.

However, it appears that Lashley’s injury is more than just a storyline, as Kazeem Famuyide on The Ringer Wrestling Show noted that Lashley suffered a legitimate shoulder injury at the Royal Rumble.

He said:

“I have it under good authority that Bobby Lashley is shoot hurt and has been hurt since the Rumble match. If you noticed he hasn’t worked any RAWs. He hasn’t really defended his title. He was shoot hurt at the [Brock] Lesnar at the Rumble. Again, I was wondering how they were going to work him in there while being hurt. I’m assuming this concussion protocol thing is the way to get him out there.

Famuyide continued on, noting that Lashley is expected to be out for around four months with the injury, which will take him out of WrestleMania.

“From what I’m told, it’s for a least four months. Shoulder surgery. I’m hearing that he might not even make it to Mania. From what I’m told he is shoot hurt and should be out for some time.”

WWE provided a medical update on Lashley following the show, that appears to be the storyline explanation for his upcoming absence.
