WWE has moved Bobby Lashley to the alumni section on its official website following Monday Night Raw.

On last night’s episode, Adam Pearce told the All Mighty he was ‘fired’ after putting his hands on two referees and then shoving the WWE official himself in the face.

The drama came after Lashley lost in a high stakes main event which saw Seth Rollins beat him to become Number One Contender to the Austin Theory’s United States Championship.

As he confronted one referee, he then pushed another to the ground, before Pearce rushed to ringside to try and calm him down.

He pointed out that after a similarly angry display last week, he warned the former world champion action would have to be taken as he tried to calm the hulking heavyweight down.

However, the superstar responded by shoving his on-screen boss, which led to an irate Pearce swearing at the wrestler before telling him he’s ‘fired’.

In an intriguing twist, WWE has removed Lashley from the Raw roster on the company’s official website, with the list of talent now jumping from Bianca Belair to Byron Saxton.

Instead, he can be found in the alumni section alongside several stars who are legitimately not with the wrestling giant.

Lashley’s name and image can be seen among wrestlers such as Bobby Fish, who was released in August 2021 and has since appeared for the likes of AEW and IMPACT Wrestling, as well as current NWA champion Brodus Clay, Hall of Famer Brie Bella and late legend Brian Pillman.

It appears this is WWE’s way of adding legitimacy to the storyline, while Lashley is yet to post on social media since Raw went off the air.

There is no word on how long the All Mighty will be kept off screen as part of this development, which adds a fascinating layer of intrigue to the red brand’s programming with less than seven weeks to go until the Royal Rumble.

WWE Raw airs Monday nights at 1am on BT Sport 1.
