He is currently also under contract with the MMA promotion, Bellator MMA and has notable victories over fighters such as James Thompson, Bob Sapp, etc. He also happens to be a former United States army soldier.

In his previous run with the WWE, Lashley was a two-time ECW champion and also held the U.S. title for a while. It is rumoured that he was highly rated by WWE CEO, Vince McMahon. However, things soon changed and after suffering an injury, he was soon released from the company.

 

The news about Lashley’s return to the WWE was initially reported by Dave Meltzer in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He had also reported that the WWE are planning a long awaited feud between Lashley and Brock Lesnar after Wrestlemania. The news about Bobby’s impending return to the WWE was further confirmed by Body Slam’s Brad Shepherd that the former WWE United States champion has indeed agreed terms with WWE over a contract.
