SmackDown at the PNC Arena in North Carolina saw a parking lot segment involving the Street Profits and a returning Bobby Lashley. The Almighty, however, never entered the arena. Instead, he picked up Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins in his black limousine and drove off to discuss business. The former WWE Champion has not been regular on WWE TV lately.
He was last seen on the May 12th edition of SmackDown, competing in a one-on-one match against AJ Styles in a losing effort. His appearance on the latest edition of SmackDown was highly secretive and has left the fans spitballing about his future.

Bobby Lashley and AJ Styles fought tooth and nail in May, with the latter ultimately prevailing and qualifying for a match for the World Heavyweight Championship. After two long months, Lashley surprised the fans by finally making his appearance. The segment saw The Street Profits waiting for Lashley after the latter finally arrived.
After exchanging hugs, Lashley asked the duo if they were ready to talk. While we thought we were going to be let in on their conversation, it was done covertly as the trio drove off in Lashley’s car. By the looks of it, it’s certain that Bobby Lashley is looking to form a new alliance.
Bobby Lashley was previously a member of The Hurt Business, which was led by MVP. Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander were among the members of the faction. After joining hands in 2020, the villainous faction dominated Raw. However, Lashley ultimately severed ties with the faction by attacking his subordinates.
After Vince McMahon stepped down from his position on the Creative team, it was widely assumed that Triple H would resurrect the faction. However, MVP got involved with Omos, while Lashley set out to work independently.

At this time, it is not confirmed that Lashley will join The Street Profits, but all signs point to a new partnership.
Bobby Lashley gets a huge pop from the WWE Universe
Bobby Lashley had a rather lackluster first run in the WWE. However, his second run with the company was more fruitful. After returning to the company in 2018, Lashley won the WWE Championship twice. His career has since been on an upward trajectory in WWE.
Although Lashley did not make his presence felt in the ring on SmackDown, his appearance backstage was very well-received by the fans. Some fans are fantasizing about the revival of The Hurt Business with new additions.

There’s no denying that the Hurt Business helped propel Lashley as a main event talent. With the Street Profits on his side, Lashley would be virtually unstoppable in WWE.
Nevertheless, we will most probably get more details about their secret conversation in the next edition of SmackDown.
