The biggest weekend of the year in WWE is going on in the form of the two nights of Wrestlemania 39. Night One of the event has already been entered into history, keeping the anticipation high for Night Two. Six matches are officially announced for the card while a couple of more segments or matches could also be delivered on the night.
Bobby Lashley was supposed to compete in a match against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 39 and the storyline also began on WWE programming on the road to the Show of Shows. This match was scrapped, because Wyatt had to take weeks off, possibly due to a physical issue. This could have scrapped an appearance from Alexa Bliss. However, Bobby Lashley could still be set for a match as WWE has plans around him.

As noted above, Bobby Lashley is currently without an opponent for WrestleMania 39 on Sunday night after Bray Wyatt had to withdraw from the event due to an illness.

One wrestler who has responded to Lashley’s challenge is Chris Adonis, formerly known as Chris Masters in WWE. Reacting to Lashley’s tweet, he stated claiming that no one would be able to put on a better match at Wrestlemania 39 with Lashley than he,
“Fact is, no matter who they choose, nobody would be able to put on a better match at this point in their career than me. That’s the sad part in this not being a reality.”
