10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Bobby Lashley
2. The Lana Storyline
It really wasn't too long ago, but Vince thinks you're thick enough to forget it.
And, since none of you are tweeting that Shinsuke Nakamura must be getting a major push because he got his old music back and nearly won a Gauntlet match, he is probably right.
In late 2019, Lashley was revealed to be having an affair, having it off, with Lana. Under Paul Heyman's creative direction filtered by Vince McMahon's inability to remove himself from the "weeds," this was schlock squared. Desperate to thwart the emerging AEW, he did what is wont to do, and regressed to a more successful past. Lashley was repackaged as a mad shagger more interested in getting his d*ck wet than his trophy cabinet stacked.
It was dire TV that made no sense week-to-week - remember Liv Morgan, who said she was going to be real when she came back but came back as a fake lesbian? - and painted Lashley as a glorified extra.
