Former WWE star Bobby Lashley has commented on his future after leaving the company.
Speaking with The Bo and Them Show, the 48-year-old noted that he has plenty lined up, but is not done with professional wrestling yet, saying:
"Wrestling, I still want to wrestle. I love wrestling. And the fans, the fans are writing me every day saying 'when are you coming back, where are you going, I don't care where you go, we want to be there for you', so I love the fans.
"Boxing, I've been boxing… A boxing company called me and offered me a legit matchup, so we're in talks with them, so I've been training boxing, I love boxing.
"Wrestling? Yes. Boxing? Yes. MMA? Yes. Acting? Yes. Everything yes right now… I'm doing it all. I look at it this way — YOLO, you only live once. But I have a lot of gas in the tank. I'm in great shape. I feel good. I'm motivated. I'm rested".
The former WWE Champion also mentioned real estate deals and working with children via his non-profit.
Elsewhere, Lashley addressed recent comments he made regarding the difference in his relationships with Vince McMahon and Triple H.
"I said something where I had more of a relationship with Vince than Triple H, and everybody was going after me. Vince did this and Triple H did this. It was a very simple, innocent comment. When Vince was here, I had more conversations with him. I don't know what anybody does in their personal life. And where I work, that's what I concentrate on.
"And when we were there, Vince was always trying to pull a different side of me. So there were different things I did at that time when I was in the wrestling business when Vince was in charge…
"What Vince told me was I want to see different layers of you… He was like 'man, there's so much more to you, so I want to make you feel uncomfortable on TV so that we can get those different layers'.
"So I had a different relationship with Vince. When Triple H came on, we didn't really get a chance to sit down. He didn't get a chance to get to know me", Lashley said.
Though he may not have developed much of a relationship with WWE's Chief Content Officer, a recent report suggests that the door is open for Lashley to return for future appearances.
