Bobby Lashley breaks character to send a message to popular star in a rare gesture

AEW star Bobby Lashley recently sent heartfelt greetings to a former WWE champion. He has been one of the most dangerous individuals in the promotion's locker room. The reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions have wreaked havoc in the tag team division over the past few weeks. The All Mighty recently broke character to congratulate WWE star Apollo Crews.

The former Intercontinental Champion has been one of the most athletic stars on the roster. He has not been active in the ring since the January 24, 2025, episode of SmackDown, when he was injured in a match against Johnny Gargano. A couple of weeks later, he underwent surgery for a pectoral muscle injury.

During Apollo Crews' hiatus, he chose to complete a very important task. In a recent social media post, he revealed that he graduated and that he left in the middle to become a pro wrestler. Many fans and colleagues congratulated him on this achievement.

Surprisingly, Bobby Lashley too took to Instagram and sent a two-word message to Apollo Crews, breaking character in the process.

"Congratulations brotha!!" he wrote.

Bully Ray was furious over the recent booking of Bobby Lashley

On the recent edition of Dynamite, The Hurt Syndicate confronted Kevin Knight, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, and Komander. The babyface trio managed to execute an attack on these goliaths.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Bully Ray claimed that the babyface group shouldn't have taken down The Hurt Syndicate easily with forearms and dropkicks.

“I’m not buying it. No way. There’s creative ways to get to what you wanted to get to. Not the way they did it. Straight up with those babyfaces just like—dropkick, dropkick, forearm, forearm. Nobody’s doing that to Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin. Even in the world of pro wrestling,” he said.
