Bobby Lashley Sidelined With Legit Injury – Bobby Lashley is officially off the AEW roster for the foreseeable future, with confirmation now clarifying that his absence is not part of an ongoing storyline.

The situation was first addressed on Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision, when MVP revealed on air that Lashley is currently sidelined. While that announcement raised questions among viewers, a follow-up report has confirmed the issue is legitimate and injury-related.

According to Fightful Select, Lashley is dealing with a real injury that is serious enough to keep him out of action for an extended period. This clarification puts an end to recent speculation surrounding his status, especially after his sudden disappearance from AEW programming following a high-profile appearance.

Lashley last competed at AEW Full Gear, where he took part in the Casino Gauntlet match to determine the inaugural AEW National Champion. That bout marked his most recent in-ring appearance for the company. Since then, Lashley has not wrestled or been physically involved on television, leading many to wonder whether his absence was creative or strategic. The latest update confirms it is neither.

At this time, no specific details have been shared regarding the nature of Lashley’s injury or a possible timetable for his return. AEW is said to be fully aware of the situation and is making adjustments internally to account for his absence. Despite Lashley being out, MVP continues to appear on AEW programming and represent Lashley’s interests on screen, allowing the association to remain active while Lashley recovers.

The injury comes at an unfortunate moment for Lashley, who had been building momentum since joining AEW. His physical presence and credibility immediately positioned him as a major player, and his absence leaves a noticeable gap. For now, AEW will move forward without him in the ring, with attention focused on how MVP is utilized until Lashley is medically cleared to return.
