Bobby Lashley made his long-awaited debut on AEW Dynamite during the October 30, 2024 episode. The former WWE Champion, who left WWE earlier this year, made a grand entrance at the end of the show, reuniting with his former WWE teammates MVP and Shelton Benjamin.
The main event saw Swerve Strickland defeat Shelton Benjamin, but the real excitement came after the match. As Benjamin and MVP were at ringside, MVP made a call, and the lights went out. When the lights came back on, Lashley's entrance music hit, and he made his way to the ring. The crowd erupted as Lashley confronted Strickland, delivering a powerful clothesline that knocked Strickland out cold.
