Bobby Lashley and MVP Removed from Internal WWE Roster

This has been shocking news to many fans and wrestling insiders. The current update is that Bobby Lashley and MVP are off WWE’s internal draft roster. The surprise update was amidst mounting speculations regarding future prospects for the company and holds big implications for WWE programming. This paper addresses the recent development involving Bobby Lashley and MVP, the reasons behind the pullout, and the possible impact this is likely to have on WWE storylines, plus what all this means for their respective careers into the future.

Bobby Lashley: It’s all about dominance and championship success.
A physical specimen and an athlete extraordinaire, dating way back to WWE, Bobby Lashley has been there. Since his return in 2018, he’s managed to show a different side, capturing a few championships and establishing himself as one of the top stars in WWE.
Key Accomplishments:

WWE Championship:
Lashley won WWE’s top title in February 2021, defeating The Miz for the WWE Championship. His performance as the champion was dominant, with top-level matches that only solidified his position and assumption. That was best reflected by the programs he held with top stars such as Drew McIntyre and Goldberg as they proved he could stay on top with the elite.

U.S. Championship
He would also go on to hold the United States Championship, furthering his case for working both in the mid-card and main event scenes. His run was filled with some great matches against the likes of Apollo Crews and Riddle, which really fleshed out his character as a champion and proved that he could elevate the title.

Friendships and Enemies:
Lashley has continued being featured against top stars in major feuds in this career, with wrestlers like Drew McIntyre, Brock Lesnar, and the one that shattered him in the Royal Rumble: Roman Reigns. But the biggest development happened after he formed an alliance with MVP in The Hurt Business, almost remodeling him to elevate depth into WWE programming. The Hurt Business became a dominant faction, racking up multiple championships and central storylines for WWE.

Product Implications of WWE:
The fact that Lashley made a real inkling into the WWE has caused crowds to increase and multiple sell out arenas. He is also predominantly in the lead spot for most pay-per-view events and storylines, which everybody is just dying to see.

MVP: Manager and Veteran
Montel Vontavious Porter is such an important hand in WWE, be it as a performer or manager. The man oozes charisma and has really excellent mic skills, hence he has been very invaluable. Lately, being the leader and mouthpiece of The Hurt Business, he has been at the stable’s helm and giving out notable performances to disastrous acclaim.

Key Contributions:

The Hurt Business:

It was a crucial role for MVP to both form and lead The Hurt Business. This was a faction in gathering some of the best in WWE. It includes Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander. The three previously captured numerous Championships ordained towards them, ever firmly taking control of the face of WWE. MVP helped elevate all those members of the group in life and by adding heritage in turn to them.

Being the manager of Lashley, MVP was the right blend to take the place of Lashley, with his proficiency in promos and calculated advice. This way, Lashley assuming a top position in WWE starts looking really credible. He was able to explain clearly the motivations and goals behind The Hurt Business, which helped in rendering it into a believable faction.

In-Ring Compet
Beyond this managerial presence, MVP was also active as a wrestler in the ring: he would use his veteran savvy to contribute that little bit of credibility to the faction. His matches, though on the low side, were put to good use strategically to further the storylines and, automatically, put on an athletic display.

Influence on Juniors
MVP has also been playing the mentor with many young talents in the WWE, counseling and supporting them both on and off-screen. With years of experience and industry know-how to his credit, he has been instrumental in guiding many young superstars.

Reasons behind the kickout
The abrupt deletion of both Bobby Lashley’s and MVP’s presence within the native WWE roster had fans and wrestling outsiders animatedly speculating, by most indications, to only expect the worst of the matter. The exact reasoning behind this is still relatively uncertain but several factors could have come into play—

Contractual Issues:
Maybe it is even so with Lashley and MVP—their deals with WWE are coming to an end, with negotiations about to close. This must be a reason for their temporary pink slip until everything is ironed out again. Besides, contract negotiations in WWE can be hard; other than money matters, creative control and future plans are basically born to the talents.

This might also be out of creative differences between the management and the talents. Well, Lashley and MVP might have had a problem with how they had been booked in recent times or how their characters were heading. It is quite common within the WWE to experience creative frustrations, given the lightning pace of the entire creative process within the WWE and always-changing stories that are constantly creating conflict.

Injury or Personal Leave:
This could be an injury or personal time from WWE programming. Lashley and MVP could be taking time off for personal or health reasons. Both had tight schedules, and a break may really be necessary.

Repackaging Strategically:
It shows that this move could be a revamp of storylines or indeed a redirect of the character the two have. If that is what WWE has in mind, taking them off-roster for some time could just be part of bigger disappointment to extinct interest superseded by intention. A repackaging may involve a complete change in character alignment, new gimmicks, or even new respective rivalries.

Implications for WWE Programming
Not having Bobby Lashley and MVP around has many story implications for the larger WWE landscape.

Impact on WWE Storylines

The Hurt Business:
The Hurt Business now has an uncertain future. Without Lashley and MVP leading the group, their stable members, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander, will also probably undergo huge changes in what will be next in store for them. WWE may split the group even further or they may have it take a new turn in terms of leadership. The Hurt Business was a major storyline, though, and dropping it now or reconfiguring it literally has and will continue to have ripple effects through WWE programming.

Championship Grounds
The void left by Lashley in the main event picture will have to be filled by WWE. There will become new contenders for the WWE Championship that could sprout new rivalries or storylines. Indeed, a rise could ultimately occur at the top of the mountain, with new stars being pushed up into the bright lights.

Feuds and Alliances:
This will affect ongoing feuds and alliances wherein they have been involved with Lashley and MVP. Storylines are going to have to be changed so as not to account for their absence now, which means speeding up or otherwise changing the direction of some stories. Rivalries may fall into disrepute, with some in the balance for resolution or continuation going forward.

Application Possibilities
While their removal will certainly mean a setback on one side of the heel, it could also prove as something really creative for WWE: new stars rising without Lashley and MVP in the way, innovative storylines incubated to keep the audience engaged. WWE’s deep talent rosters mean this change could provide opportunities to fresh faces to step up.

Historical Setting: WWE and Sudden Roster Changes WWE is not foreign to vast changes on its roster, which immediately impacted its shows. Understanding these changes could put the current situation of Lashley and MVP in a better perspective.

Meaningful Examples:

With rare misuse—long skins finding himself off WWE’s programming, in frequent cases there was a major twist or/and change of happenings within the storyline, and consequently, his comebacks always happen fraught with mighty anticipation and drama. Long breaks from the program unanimously resulted in the character bouncing perfectly into new feuds and storylines.

CM Punk’s Walkout:
The era of change in storylines, most famously, commenced after his walkout from WWE in 2014. His absence became an opportunity for other stars to step up and fill the void created by his absence. His leaving also initially brought questions about the creative direction and management of talent within WWE.

Brock Lesnar’s part-time status more often saw him drop out of WWE programming almost immediately. His intermittent appearance was placed surgically so that it would have greater effect layered by anticipation. The less Lesnar was used, the more efficient he was used, and therefore, his matches built up and became events.

Daniel Bryan Retirement and Return
Daniel Bryan’s retirement from wrestling, caused by his injuries, and further comeback, had quite an impacting effect on the WWE program. The healing process and his further return were key storylines, which really caught the fans’ attention, with his appealing message of resilience and perseverance toward wrestling.

The Next Chapter: Directions for Lashley and MVP

What could be in store for the long run with Bobby Lashley and MBA in WWE is rather vague, though some initiatives may be taken in order to make them more up-to-date and flourishing.

Rehire and End of Contract:

Lashley and MVP could return to WWE programming, provided issues of the contracts between the two are sorted out. Upon their return, serious build-up must be mounted regarding the reclamation of their dominant stature. This may mean a major feud or a high-profile match at a marquee event.

Repackaging and New Storylines:
Perhaps the WWE will look to repack Lashley and MVP with new characters or alliances. Of course, the restructuring will need new gimmicks that can only bring fresh rivalries, emphasizing their undeniable strengths. In that light, new gimmicks may be needed that can perpetuate fresh rivalries to make them keep their relevance in the ever-changing landscape of the WWE.

Other Wrestling Promotions:
Unless Lashley and MVP sign another WWE deal, their likely next step is to work in other wrestling promotions, all of them as potential stars while adding maximized value to any wrestling promotion. Since Lashley and MVP have been with other promotions before, their possible departures will soon spark interest in whoever their next step could be.

Outside Wrestling Business:

Both Lashley and MVP have interests far away from wrestling. While Lashley’s background of mixed martial arts and MVP’s focus on music and acting offer up other possibilities, both could also just walk away from the ring for good, as their skills and talents fit well elsewhere in the entertainment and sports world.
