Bobby Lashley: Gone from WWE

As Brock Lesnar trains for the UFC, another former WWE champion is leaving WWE for another fighting industry.

In a phone call placed this afternoon to internet wrestling journalist Ryan Gray of WrestlingNewsWorld.com, Bobby Lashley confirmed that he is gone from the company.

Lashley told Gray that he was training hard for a potential career in Mixed Martial Arts. The former ECW Champion said that despite the fact that he wanted to pursue an MMA career, it would NOT be with UFC.

Would Lashley be interested in going to TNA Wrestling? He failed to say. But he did add that WWE has granted his release, but it would not be officially announced until the paperwork was finalized.
