Bobby Lashley gives update on his AEW injury status
Bobby Lashley is healthy and ready to get back into action in AEW.
While appearing at the recent For the Love of Wrestling convention in the United Kingdom, Lashley clarified that he is healthy and looking forward to going after gold with his Hurt Syndicate stablemates MVP & Shelton Benjamin. Lashley is targeting the AEW Trios titles that are currently held by Hangman Page, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey.
“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 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.
“Shelton’s an amazing person, an amazing wrestler. MVP’s amazing at everything that he does. And same here. So it’s like, we just have a great group. And we’re all friends, so we all pull for each other. So anytime one of us is down, the other one pulls us up. And I think right now, they’re pulling me up. They’re yanking me back in. They said, ‘It’s ready. We’re ready to go back out there and win some titles.’
“So I am healed. Everybody thought I was hurt, I’m not hurt. You can’t hurt the All Mighty.”
Lashley has been sidelined since AEW Full Gear in November 2025. An undisclosed injury was reported to be the reason for his absence.
Going after the AEW World Championship would also make sense for Lashley given current champion MJF’s history with The Hurt Syndicate. However, Lashley is more focused on the Trios belts.
“MJF has the title, so I think everybody has some unfinished business with him,” Lashley told For the Love of Wrestling. “But, you know what, I have no hard feelings to anyone.”
