Bobby Lashley: AEW & Tony Khan allow legends to continue their careers

Bobby Lashley says Tony Khan allows wrestlers to carry on their legacies in AEW.

Lashley appeared on The Lame Guys podcast recently, and while he wouldn’t give away anything regarding a potential AEW debut, he did say that he’s spoken to MVP about what it is like in the company.

“I’m still friends with MVP, so I talked to him about going over there, and I said, ‘How is it over there, you know, are they good?’ And one thing that a lot of people say when they’re over there is that Tony Khan’s a really good dude. Like he’s genuinely saying to some of the people that go over there, he’s like, ‘You deserve to still carry on if you want to.'”

“I know Edge was kind of being pushed down, and Edge was like, ‘No, I took time off, and I was able to get cleared, and I still have some stuff left in the tank,” Lashely continued.

“I think Tony Khan came in and said, ‘You deserve to. You’re a legend in this business, and you can help us out, and I think we can help you out by maybe supplementing your income for the next few years and I think that’s what they did and I think that’s what MVP is doing also.”

The full interview with Lashley is available below.

Last week, Lashley teased that “it’s time to put pen to paper” on his next wrestling contract. Meanwhile, former Hurt Business members and current Hurt Syndicate members MVP and Shelton Benjamin have been a featured part of AEW programming of late. The new faction has its biggest match to date on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite when Benjamin wrestles Swerve Strickland.
