Former AEW World Tag Team Champion Bobby Lashley is injured according to faction spokesman and member MVP.
He announced the news during Saturday’s AEW Collision from Cardiff, Wales, but didn’t give any details as to the injury or when is was sustained.
The 49-year-old last competed at last month’s AEW Full Gear as part of the Casino gauntlet bout to determine the inaugural National Champion.
MVP also revealed that Shelton Benjamin will participate in the Dynamite Diamond battle royal set for this Wednesday in Manchester, England. As has been the case in the past, the two remaining wrestlers will compete the following week to determine who will challenge the only man who has ever held the ring since 2019: MJF, assumed to be at Worlds End.
It will be the first time Benjamin enters the fray for the Dynamite Diamond ring.
