Backstage News On Bobby Lashley Possibly Signing With WWE And Feuding With Brock Lesnar

Bobby Lashley is reportedly expected to sign with WWE imminently, according to Dave Meltzer on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer noted that Lashley was negotiating with both NJPW and WWE, and is no longer negotiating with NJPW. He added that Lashley is going to WWE "almost for sure." Although he doesn't know if Lashley will appear in the Royal Rumble match tonight or answer Bobby Roode's open challenge, Lashley is contractually clear to start with WWE immediately. People in NJPW and Impact Wrestling believe that Lashley will start with WWE at any moment.

 
Meltzer also noted that Lashley may start a program with Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania or later this year. While Meltzer didn't mention it, Lesnar's WWE contract is expected to expire shortly after WrestleMania. He added that Lesnar is supposedly not aware of a possible program with Lashley, even though he's supposed to be told of his programs ahead of time.

EC3 DISCUSSES WWE RETURN AND MORE (talk about kissing the butts of WWE, lol)

EC3 did an interview with ESPN about his return to NXT.

The former Impact champion said his reemergence on WWE television after leaving the company in 2013 was, "vindication. The moment was resolution.  I feel redeemed."

His journey coming back to the company:

"It's only been 1,714 days since the last time I stepped foot in the WWE -- but who's counting," EC3 said. "With each day that has passed, I've had one goal in mind -- and that was to be here, in this moment at this time for one purpose. Never once, without a shadow of a doubt, did I ever not believe in myself -- believe that I would come back. I came back with vigor and determination. I came back on a mission."

How he felt leading up to his on camera appearance in the crowd at last night's NXT Takeover: Philadelphia event:

 "It was built up in my mind, how it would feel and what emotions I would feel," EC3 said. "But walking out there, standing out there, with the crowd recognizing who I am -- who I truly am -- and that I'm truly where I belong, it didn't feel anything but right."

How he will stack up with the other big-name talent in NXT:

"For years outside of the WWE, I've been saying one thing -- that I'm the best here, I'm the best there, I'm the best anywhere," EC3 said. "While I was the best 'here' elsewhere, the 'there' I referenced was here [in the WWE] -- and that carries over. I'm the best here, I'm the best there, I'm the best anywhere..Competition? Bring it on. Competition? Come get a taste. Competition? I'm here.
