11 Hidden Meanings Behind WWE WrestleMania 38 Attires

5. Bobby Lashley Pays Tribute To MVP

Bobby Lashley MVP

This was a lovely little tribute.

MVP has been out injured and rehabbing his knee over the past while. That meant he couldn't be at ringside for Bobby Lashley's match with the towering Omos. Of course, there's a chance WWE would be keeping both men separate on TV for now anyway - they're experimenting with a babyface run for big Bob.

At 'Mania, Lashley wore some red and black tights to the ring that looked eerily similar to a jumpsuit his manager wore many moons ago. It'd be fun to find out if that was coincidental (Bobby has worn flourishes of red on his gear before), or if this was indeed a nod towards Porter.

Either way, the fresh attire choice looked awesome and is definitely something Lashley should keep running with going forwards. WWE aren't gonna cover his physique up, so there's no way he'll start sporting jumpsuits himself, but Bobby can still carry a bit of MVP magic to the ring with him by wearing these tights.
