WWE Champion Bobby Lashley praises young roster ahead of Elimination Chamber

The Almighty praised WWE Superstars who would face him in the cage. “Yes, Brock’s in there, but the roster is amazing,” said Bobby Lashley. Bobby added that since his last feud with one-half of the RK-Bro tag team, Riddle has raised his bar inside the square.

He mentioned Riddle has gained some knowledge. One of the most outstanding wrestlers in the businesses, Randy Orton, has mentored Riddle. “Austin Theory is kind of like a little breakout star that we don’t know what he’s able to do. The kid looks like a million bucks. He has a skill set that’s pretty incredible,” Lashley added.

Bobby also stated that AJ Styles is one of those guys whose in-ring name, i.e., The Phenomenal, matches his in-ring action; it is not just a name.

When will the former US Army Veteran retire?

The Almighty is ready to go against the best combatants in the world. He claimed that he is always excited about wrestling, as he wants to test himself and push it to the limit. He said, “Give me the best and let me test myself because sooner or later, all of this will be over for me, and I’m going to retire my boots.
