He is a former US Champion and two-time ECW Champion. So TNA knows they can use him if they can just get him in. And on top of that, Lashley gets out good in the deal.
There was a rumor going around that Lashley may do something with TNA this summer. However, no one knows for sure what he will do yet. Lashley was interviewed recently and was asked about that.
Lashley said, "Can I plead the Fifth?"
This can have multiple meanings, Lashley may have spoke with TNA about possibly coming in, but they asked him to keep it secret.
He also could mean that he does not want to go to TNA.
Obviously, there is a lot we can think here. But I would assume because Lashley would love to have promotions such as UFC calling him up, that he will take TNA up on their offer to have him come in.
The original idea from Lashley was that he would want 2 to 4 weeks off before fights, and the same after. TNA has to realize that is a pretty good deal, I mean they could just not have Lashley at all right?
In any case, expect to hear a lot about this in the coming weeks.
More from TNA
In a recent 411, I told you the WWE was interested in TNA talent Sheik Abdul Bashir. He was with the company a little while back under the name Daivari. He never showed any wrestling ability to me whatsoever in the WWE.
When he went to TNA, he actually looked like a good wrestler. He even got the X-Division Title pretty much right off the bat there. Why would he go back to the place that almost killed his wrestling career?
Thankfully, the man thought about this and decided to re-sign with TNA. According to Jeremy Borash, he signed a multi-year deal with them.
Samoa Joe told AJ Styles on iMPACT that he can ask him himself at Victory Road, referring to who has been in Joe's ear the past few months.
There is a new video up showing the number 13, which was the same number used from Tazz in the WWE for his entrance video. The whole video package is set to come up this week on iMPACT.
People doubted that Tazz was the man behind all of this with Joe, but it seems to be obvious that we will finally see "Taz" at Victory Road. I don't think we will see him wrestle much, considering he himself said his wrestling career is behind him.
But he can talk as we all know, so expect that from him.
TNA has been playing this up for some time, but now it seems that it has come full circle. The reason why Taz was unable to come straight to TNA was because of a no-compete clause he had from the WWE.
He had to wait 90 days before he came to TNA naturally. This kind of made no sense to me, considering he let his contract expire before leaving, but I guess he had something special attached.
Because of the video, the rumors, and the hints given by TNA, it is obvious Taz will be in TNA very soon.
MVP news
It seems as if the WWE's partnership with The View's Sherri Shepard is not over yet. MVP and Sherri have become friends since teaming up, and the WWE feels that it would be good to build on that by having MVP do more public appearances with her.
They will both be at the BET Awards coming up, and MVP could possibly be on The View again.
