Bobby Lashley recently underwent surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow, according to Pro Wrestling Sheet.
That’s why he hasn’t been on TV in over three weeks. His last match was at the July 15 Raw, when he competed in a 10-man battle royal that was won by Seth Rollins. The night before, he lost a Last Man Standing match to Braun Strowman at Extreme Rules.
WWE’s internal injury report lists November 2 as a possible return date for Lashley, according to Fightful.
It’s not clear if this is related, but as far back as October 2018, it was reported that Lashley had been working with an undisclosed injury.
