Bobby Lashley was on the brink of winning the match. He connected a Hurt Lock on Seth Rollins, but The Visionary was able to back his opponent into a corner to break the lock, which knocked out the referee.
The Almighty then connected a Spear to Rollins and when he covered him for the pin, the ref counted slowly. However, when Lashley went to connect the second spear, Rollins reversed it into a pedigree and won the match.
Shockingly, this made Lashley go berserk as he laid his hands on the referee. Many other WWE officials came to rescue the referee, including Adam Pearce. However, when Pearce went to cool down The Almighty, he pushed the WWE Official. This made Pearce and fired Lashley on the spot, leaving the former US Champion stunned.
Pearce was furious and in an angry tone, he said, “You motherf**ker! (low audio due to crowd noise). You are fired! You’re fired (He said a couple of times and went backstage)”
While the referees and other WWE officials were checking on the injured ref. Pearce was trying to cool down Lashley. He told the former ECW Champion about having a talk, but was furious and attacked him.

So Ronda attacks Officials and gets suspended.
Bobby does it and gets fired? 🤔— FLYNN🇮🇪⚽️🏐🏉👍 (@MrRedDevil27) December 13, 2022
I cannot believe Adam Pearce did that Bobby did not deserve to get fired I mean yes he did attack a ref but it was uninverted Bobby did not know the ref was standing behind him so really it was completely accidental and firing Bobby Lashley that is a total overreaction

Will he go to SmackDown?
So let him go to smackdown and fight Gunther. pic.twitter.com/TAa1eclbOJ

Bobby Lashely is just upset that he lost. I get that he attacked the referees, but that is not necessary to fire him. Adam Pearce should have suspended him for a couple of weeks.

Going to smack down challenging reigns at the rumble

What the hell Pearce?! 😡 NO!
— Emily Montoya (@EmilyMontoyaUIW) December 13, 2022
It truly surprised the fans and made them angry as Pearce fired Lashley for the same thing Lesnar and Rousey did for which they got suspended.
What is next for Bobby Lashley?
The Almighty lost his title opportunity and also his job. Therefore, there are several questions about what will be next for Lashley.
Several fans think he will go to SmackDown to challenge Gunther for the Intercontinental Title. Hence the recently rumored Gunther vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 39 can be without a championship on the line. Moreover, The Hurt Business can reunite too.
