MVPs fight as well as the UFC rowYou took to Twitter to post about the BlackLivesMatter movement How has the support been with WWE superstarsI think everybody across the board on the same team and no ones thinking anything negative towards it In the end we all want to get along with a common goal to be happy if someone does not feel theyre getting their happiness then we need to find out how to change that I am confident that we will be working in the right directionThree of the last four challengers went on to become champions at Backlash Do you think you will maintain this trendLashley expresses a pleasant surprise upon hearing this fact Regardless of what I have been doing inside or outside the ring I am excited about this I have not had an opportunity at the top for 13 years so if there is somebody that deserves it I would throw in my hat and say I do Ive been there and done that At the end of the day we going to take off the gloves and start swinging thats what Drew McIntyre is about and damn sure thats what Im about I feel i should come out victorious and that gets me excitedYou and Drew have a history together not only at WWE but before at Impact How does this journey feelWell last year Drew and I worked as tag team partners and one thing was said about it vicious We both bring out something in each other that not everybody can do I think the time away gave us the opportunity to find ourselves a bit more Right now this match is big as Drew talks about how the locker room is changing and how he wants to show people to appreciate being there Well Im kind of in a different boat than he is as I was in WWE for a long time but never the chosen one I had to scrape and claw to get up here We kind of worked in the same path but as one was already granted his position the other had to work to get there So theres a lot of meaning to this matchView this post on InstagramIrsquoll never stop believing in hard work TheAllMighty reallifeactionfigure

different The crowd the style But we have to understand that everything evolves Was it bad now or then No both eras were different Earlier it would not have been possible for someone like me to have the Universal or WWE title but times have changed Social media is big the locker room how people interact its all differentView this post on InstagramldquoThe only person you are destined to become is

bobbylashley onJan 27 2020 at 709am PSTBeing a huge MMA fan yourself what are your thoughts on DanaWhite Jon Jones situationThats a discussion we can talk about for hours Its the company vs fighter here In boxing its somebodys fight card eg Mayweather And they get paid an astronomical amount When you compare boxing to MMA some fighters get frustrated and someone like Jon Jones who should be making somewhere in the ballpark like other boxers I do not know how much he is making but if he has a problem then it should be addressed Many fighters have spoken about how much they make in comparison to how much UFC takes Its the fighters putting in the work and their lives on the line by getting in that cage so they should be compensated If Jones fights Dana that will be huge numbers and if so he should be paid accordinglyYou have never wrestled the Undertaker Brock Lesnar Triple H or Sting If you could pick one of them to face who would you pick and whyIf you ever have the opportunity to wrestler Undertaker and say no you are out of your freaking mind Theres no way Id not say Taker but the Lesnar match has been talked about since the day I entered wrestling I think thats what the fans want and I wanna know tooHow do you handle the fight between MVP and Lana and how will it influence BacklashHitting MVP was not the smartest thing Lana did but MVPs a man and hes not going to lay hands on a woman I think I would handle it like any other guy would between his wifegirlfriend and best friend I would just like to see everybody get alongYou and Lana had a huge storyline with Rusev earlier this year Did you feel we got a real conclusion to it or any ideas of how you wanted it to endTo tell you the truth I really dont know what happened because we were at a point where the revenge needed to happen and it did not I dont know where we could have gone with it or how I wanted it to go I think that I wish that I had the match with Rusev that I wanted toHow do you see Drew McIntyre as an opponentFirst of all I think Drew is going to be regarded as one of the greatest WWE champions in historyHowever he asks a question back as to if at Backlash he took McIntyre to the ground and by raining blows he did not give him a chance to counter and then launch the Full Nelson would we be surprised No he goes on to talk about how he could go and beat up the entire roster before taking the gloves off and reiterates about his move on Lashley surprising everyoneBobby Lashley has always been a force to reckon with and his WWE title match with Drew McIntyre
