Bobby Lashley Looks Back At WWE Storyline With Lana, Was Told He Was Placed In Storyline To Show Personality

Lashley looks back at the wedding angle.

Back in late 2019, on the WWE Monday Night Raw program, there was a storyline involving Bobby Lashley, C.J. Perry (Lana), and Rusev.

Perry and Rusev split, and Perry went on to form a pairing with Lashley. The storyline includes a wedding ceremony that Liv Morgan crashed.

Lashley looked back on that during his chat with Good Karma Wrestling. He was told that he was put into that storyline to showcase his personality.

“I did the deal where I was married, where me and Lana, that everybody was talking about. We went through the wedding and everything like that… Actually, I was told they wanna put me in there because they wanted me to just relax. Because a lot of the people backstage knew me as Bobby, and the crowd looks at me as this opposing figure that’s ready to beat people up and tear people apart. Well, Vince (McMahon) at the time, he was saying, ‘I want people to see more of you. I want you to feel uncomfortable so that you can just feel comfortable being uncomfortable, and you have to do those storylines on TV so that you can be able to do that.’ Let somebody in to you, which you wanna keep protected because you don’t wanna be criticized, but sometimes you just gotta open up the floodgates and let everybody in on you, and right now, that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve just been letting people in on me. You can see me. I don’t mind being me. I can still beat people up. But I’m the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.”

Elsewhere during the chat, Lashley spoke about New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) leaving WWE.
