Here is what Meltzer wrote:

Bobby Lashley is currently in Birmingham, AL getting his shoulder checked out. He’s been injured since the match with Brock Lesnar which is why they did the Chamber match the way they did, with full knowledge he couldn’t wrestle.

My Take:

  • There is a rumor that Lashley could be out for four months. This would fit with that rumor if he needs surgery.
