Bobby Lashley recently appeared on WWE’s After The Bell podcast and talked about a wide range of topics including Brock Lesnar being added to the WWE Title match that was supposed to be a fatal 4-way bout. When Roman Reigns was pulled from the show due to testing positive for COVID, Lesnar was moved to the match that was changed.
Lashley said in storyline that when that happened, he wanted to get out of the match.
“The first thing I said was, I said, ‘get me out of the match,’” he admitted. “I said, ‘it’s a fatal 4-way, me and MVP can do something beforehand, get me out of the match’. Initially, people were like, ‘what? Are you scared of him?’ No, I’m not scared of him, it’s a match where exactly what happened, happened.
“He beats somebody else and got the title,” Lashley said. “So essentially he can say he beat me, Seth, Big E & Kevin right? I mean, the match is five people and I was like, ‘that’s not the way this is going down, get me out of the match’. And they were like, ‘nah, nah, you got to stay in the match,’ and I was like, ‘alright’.”
