WWE Superstar Bobby Lashley has been away from a WWE TV appearance or in-ring action since May 5, 2024. While he is out reportedly due to an injury, recent rumors, however, suggest that The Pride leader will soon be making his exit from the Stamford-based promotion. Reacting to this, a recently released superstar has commented and showed his admiration for The All Mighty.

Dijak was recently brought back to the main roster of Monday Night RAW before he left the promotion in July after his contract wasn't renewed. The star has worked with several names during his time in WWE, which also included Bobby Lashley and his former stable, The Hurt Business. Now, he has posted a tweet on X in the wake of the rumored departure of the entire stable.

“As someone who got to work very closely with The Hurt Business, every single one of them is outstandingly talented and wonderful human beings as well.”

The All Mighty’s contract is also allegedly going to expire soon, but no details were available on whether he would re-sign a deal or not. Now, Bobby Lashley, MVP, and a few more names have notably been removed from the internal roster of WWE. But, these stars are still on the company’s website.

Interestingly, while these veterans may soon be on their way out, another former superstar has restarted his career as an indie pro wrestler.

Former WWE Champion begins indie career after non-compete restrictions end

Jinder Mahal was released from the Stamford-based promotion in April 2024 right before the annual draft amid budget cuts. In 2024, he faced Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Title and was also part of a segment with The Rock. The former WWE Champion recently sent his fans a message that his 90-day non-compete clause was over and he was ready to wrestle again.

“Hindered no more. 90 days are up. 🚨”

Notably, The Maharaja will now be using a new ring name, ‘Raj Dhesi’, based on his real-life name Yuvraj Singh Dhesi. He has already received bookings for July 26, 2024, and August 17, 2024. It would be interesting to see how the former champ builds his indie career this time around.
