Bobby Lashley continues to make an impact on Monday Night RAW each week. While speaking about The Almighty Bobby Lashley on 'Grilling JR', WWE veteran Jim Ross discussed why Lashley had left WWE in 2008 despite being pushed.
On being asked if Lashley left the company because they released his then-girlfriend Kristal, Ross stated that he believes that was not the reason, although he did admit that it may have had a role to play in Lashley becoming unhappy with the company. Jim Ross also mentioned that Bobby Lashley was not very happy with the payoff he got for his WrestleMania 23 match where he faced Umaga.

The match was essentially the main event as Lashley represented Donald Trump while Umaga represented Vince McMahon in the 'Battle of the Billionaires'. Jim Ross also added that Lashley was burnt out with the schedule and probably wanted to try something else.
Jim Ross praised RAW Superstar Bobby Lashley saying that he has done an exceptional job by getting better as a performer before he made his return to WWE 10 years after he got released.
