Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Tamina Likely to Leave WWE
Recent developments indicate that Bobby Lashley, MVP, and Tamina might be exiting WWE soon. This speculation arose after reports that all three have been removed from WWE’s internal roster.
Cory Hays of PW Nexus first reported on Sunday evening that Lashley, Tamina, and MVP were no longer listed on WWE’s internal roster. This was quickly followed by a report from Fightful, which confirmed Hays’ findings and added that Lashley’s contract is nearing its expiration. This fits a trend in 2024, where WWE either lets contracts expire or renews them at the last minute.
Bobby Lashley, also known as “The Almighty,” has been missing from WWE television for a few weeks, leading fans to wonder about his status. Although his profile, along with MVP’s and Tamina’s, remains on WWE’s active Superstars section for now, their removal from the internal roster suggests a potential departure.
MVP’s response to the news added fuel to the speculation. About 90 minutes after the report, MVP tweeted a salute emoji, hinting at his possible exit from WWE. He also retweeted Big E’s post celebrating Lashley’s many accomplishments, which seemed to acknowledge Lashley’s potential departure.
WWE’s internal roster differs from the public one on WWE.com. It includes Superstars WWE plans to use in the future, even if they are currently off TV. Removal from this list indicates that WWE doesn’t foresee any future plans for these individuals, reinforcing the belief that Lashley, MVP, and Tamina might soon leave the company.
While MVP and Tamina’s potential departures are notable, Lashley’s inclusion is particularly surprising. Despite being 48 years old and currently sidelined with an injury, Lashley remains in excellent shape and capable of performing at a high level, whether for WWE or another organization.
