Bobby Lashley Would Love Chris Masters To Return To WWE

WWE star Bobby Lashley would love to see his former co-worker Chris Masters return to the company. 

The Masterpiece previously used the Full Nelson (AKA The Masterlock) as a finisher and would challenge people to break it as part of his 'Masterlock Challenge'. Lashley became the first person to break it on the March 19, 2007 episode of Raw. The All Mighty now uses the Full Nelson, which he has dubbed 'The Hurt Lock'. 

Speaking with the Hindustan Times, Lashley had this to say about a potential showdown with Masters: 

"I love it. I've seen Chris, I follow him on social media and he's been doing a lot. He's been wrestling all over the world and he's been getting better. And I think if he has an opportunity to come back, I think that would be a really cool showcase. Whether it happens at the Rumble, you never know. The Rumble always has surprises. I think Chris has kind of proved himself in the professional wrestling world.

"If he comes back, you know what I would do? I'd literally just turn around and put my hands out and tell him to put it on me again so that I can break it out for the second time. And then I'd ask him to do the same. And I guarantee you he's not breaking out The Hurt Lock. So there's a lot of things that could happen in that matchup, but I think it would be cool for the fans to see. And I did take that from him because if I break it's mine".

Masters has been lobbying for a return to WWE as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble of late. However, he recently tweeted that he has not yet been contacted about appearing. 

The 40-year-old currently wrestles for the NWA.
