WWE Rumor Roundup: Former Superstar ready to return on one condition, Paul Heyman uses banned word and more

Bobby Lashley breaks silence on WrestleMania 34 rumor

Bobby Lashley has revealed that he was never in contention to return at WrestleMania 34 and team up with Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men picked a 10-year-old Nicholas to team up and win the RAW tag-team titles from The Bar- Sheamus and Cesaro.

There were rumors that Lashley was going to be the mystery partner but the former MMA star has rebuffed them. Talking to Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT, he said:

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

I didn’t know anything to tell you the truth. At the beginning when we first negotiated and started talking, I was supposed to be coming back around WrestleMania time. There was talks of before, during and after. I didn’t hear about after.

I heard about doing something before to set up an angle for WrestleMania, or doing something at WrestleMania.... "I really didn’t know anything about the Braun tagging thing. If they would have told me that, I would have been all for it. That’s an incredible opportunity. I mean to come back as the tag team champions!"
