This year WrestleMania comes with a lot of pleasant surprises and a few disheartening ones too. One of the major unthinkable WWE included giving no spot to Bobby Lashley at the grandest stage of them all. Despite being one of the biggest stars of the rosters, Lashley couldn’t escape getting snubbed, and it certainly didn’t sit well with the All Mighty himself and the WWE fanbase as well.
Lashley’s spot at ‘Mania was in doubt after Bray Wyatt’s status was unconfirmed for the night. Lately, he has been pretty much desperate to get a Mania match for himself at any cost. The 46-year-old even cut a promo throwing an open challenge to literally anyone to fight him at the Show of Shows during a recent SmackDown episode. However, it all went in vain.

It is no more a mystery that Lashley won’t be competing at WrestleMania 39 and the fans depicted their frustration over that.
I feel bad for Bobby Lashley. They should've at least had him in one of the impromptu matches.#WrestleMania pic.twitter.com/b8Dl9UwWmS

Some of them, who largely expected Lashley at night 2, think WWE had enough time to arrange a match for Lashley and they didn’t do it purposely.
So much time and they couldn't add a Bobby Lashley vs LA Knight match……..
They're even showing LAST NIGHT CLIPS

Some users also aren’t happy over the fact that Shane McMahon and The Miz get a match over Lashley.

A fan also criticized the short appearance of Lashley on the stage, which made no sense at all.
