Bobby Lashley On How He Wanted Street Profits Alliance to End, Which Stars He Wanted To Face in WWE

In an interview with the Lame Guys podcast (via Fightful), Bobby Lashley spoke about how he wanted his alliance with the Street Profits to end in WWE, as he wanted to put both men over. Instead, Lashley left the company in the middle of the pairing. His last WWE match was on April 12.

He said: “Over at AEW, my career and where it is now, it’s really good for me. Could I or would I have hoped to stay with WWE? Absolutely. My plan was to have one more, maybe two years, and then retire with WWE. I was doing the stuff with the Street Profits. What I ultimately wanted at the end of that is, when I go out, there are certain things I wanted to do. I wanted Dawkins and or Montez to turn on me, and I wanted to have a feud with one and then the other and eventually have both of them take me out at the end. Both of them are amazingly talented. I ultimately wanted to get beat. There are three or four people that I wanted to go out (against). I wanted every one of them to have a good feud with me and I wanted to put all of them over. It was definitely Dawkins, Montez, Austin Theory, I wanted to turn him babyface, and I never had the opportunity to do something with LA Knight. He and I were good friends in IMPACT and coming over, we had several talks about him coming up and what he was going to do. That would have been a cool one. Outside of that, I had no ego with it, I wanted to go out in the right way. That just didn’t happen.“
