Update On A Possible Bobby Lashley Royal Rumble Appearance, Bruce Prichard Podcast After Takeover, Matt Hardy Note

As noted, former Impact Wrestling Champion Bobby Lashley finished up with Impact at the last set of TV tapings, and his future in pro wrestling has yet to be announced.

There was speculation that Lashley might be making his return to WWE, possibly at the Royal Rumble this Sunday, but that appears to be impossible as Lashley is under contract with Impact until February 1st, confirms PWInsider.com. Unless Lashley receives special permission from Impact to appear in the Rumble, it’s not likely he will return to WWE this weekend.

As for his future, PWInsider reports Lashley is looking to get more MMA fights scheduled.
