The current WWE Champion became a prominent figure on WWE television during his initial two-year run with the company between 2005 and 2007. The 45-year-old departed WWE in February 2008, just eight months after his on-screen feud with Vince McMahon ended.
Speaking on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions show, Lashley dismissed suggestions that he needed to clear the air with the WWE Chairman. He also recalled how former WWE producer Arn Anderson said after a production meeting that McMahon “loved” him.
In 2007, Bobby Lashley (w/Donald Trump) defeated Umaga (w/Vince McMahon) in a Hair vs. Hair Battle of the Billionaires match at WrestleMania 23. As a result of Lashley’s win, McMahon was forced to have his head shaved.
