Bobby Lashley Injured, Brock Lesnar Goes Off Script Inside Chamber

Bobby Lashley is injured and the former WWE Champion could be out for months. Also, Brock Lesnar went into business for himself at the Elimination Chamber. 

Bobby Lashley Injured

Yesterday, WWE returned to Saudi Arabia for their Elimination Chamber pay per view. In the main event, the Men’s Elimination Chamber saw a new WWE Champion crowned.

Before Bobby Lashley could even exit his pod, he was injured and removed from the match. The spot happened when Seth Rollins hit a buckle bomb on Austin Theory.

WWE fans were told Lashley was no longer in the match because of concussion protocol. Although, that was simply the reason to get the title off him.

Bobby Lashley Might Miss Months Of WWE Action

Most figured Lashley would return shortly and want a rematch, but probably not. Kazeem Famuyide from The Ringer Wrestling Show, reports that Lashley is actually hurt.

He noted Lashley has been dealing with a shoulder injury since his Royal Rumble match with Lesnar.

“I have it under good authority that Bobby Lashley is shoot hurt and has been hurt since the Rumble match,” said Famuyide. “If you noticed he hasn’t worked any RAWs.” 

“He hasn’t really defended his title. He was shoot hurt at the Lesnar  Rumble match.” 

“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.”

As for time away, Lashley might be out at least four months, If so, WrestleMania 38 just lost a top superstar.

“From what I’m told, it’s for at 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.”

If anything, give WWE credit as they could have simply taken the belt off Lashley. Instead, they ran a unique angle and he can return later in the year for his rematch with Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar Goes Off Script Inside Chamber

As seen, Brock Lesnar walked out of the Elimination Chamber to become a seven time WWE Champion. And, he made it look easy by eliminating every opponent; minus Bobby Lashley.

 He tossed everyone around the Chamber, particularly Austin Theory. The final spot was Lesnar hitting an F5 off the top of a pod to win.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider noted how Lesnar went off script. He was supposed to enter last, but he jumped the gun. 

Instead of sitting in the pod for a few more minutes, Lesnar broke his way free. Yes, you read that correctly.

“Brock Lesnar smashed through a legitimate Elimination Chamber door to enter the EC match and we are told that was not a planned spot,” said Johnson.

That is one scary person to anger.

Now, it is title vs title in the main event of WrestleMania 38 with Lesnar vs Roman Reigns.
