BOBBY LASHLEY is set to return to WWE – 10 years after leaving the promotion.
The former United States champion and two-time ECW World Champion has enjoyed an impressive career in wrestling and MMA since being released from his contract.
Lashley has been with TNA/Impact Wrestling, as well as on the indie circuit, and has long been rumoured for a return to WWE.
Multiple outlets report that Lashley has ‘agreed to terms’, although none are clear when he will make his in-ring return.
There had been rumours that Lashley might make a special appearance at Elimination Chamber, but he did not.
He could make his second debut at WrestleMania, on Sunday, April 8.
When he was in WWE the first time round he was tipped as a future world champion and was also part of a high-profile feud with Umaga – a storyline that featured Vince McMahon and Donald Trump.
The future President of the US shaved the head of McMahon with Lashley’s help.
He fought for the championship on a couple of occasions but failed.
He was released in February 2008 after an injury.
Lashley became one of the most popular wrestlers in the TNA/Impact stable, winning numerous belts – including four world championships.
