Bobby Lashley returned to WWE several months ago after a decade away from the company. Before coming back, Lashley had found success in both Impact Wrestling and fighting for Bellator MMA.
Lashley was recently interviewed by German Suplex Talk. During the interview, he was asked what Vince McMahon or Triple H said to him before he signed.
Lashley says that the way he was able to keep himself into great shape a decade after leaving WWE, impressed Triple H. Here is a quote from Lashley:
“When [Triple H] saw me he was like, “damn, you look almost better than you did when you were here before. He said there’s a tremendous amount of money to be made and we’d love to see you come back.”
Lashley was also asked if he had any interest in an MMA fight (under the WWE banner) against Brock Lesnar. Lashley admitted that it is something that he has thought about but he isn’t sure how it would work. Lashley is still with Bellator and Brock is with the UFC so there would have to be some sort of working agreement between the two companies to make it happen.
On a related note, here is what Triple H told Gail Kim before she left WWE.
