WRESTLEMANIA 18 IN THREE WEEKS FROM SATURDAY!

🔴 Bobby Lashley invades RAW and spears Ricochet who prepares for a clash with Batista at WrestleMania: 11min*

In the escalating conflict between Bobby Lashley and Batista, tensions reached a breaking point when Lashley viciously attacked WWE authority figure Triple H in his office. This brutal assault came after Triple H refused to grant Lashley's request, resulting in WWE's decision to suspend Lashley for his actions. This suspension left the situation between Lashley and Batista unresolved, as their rivalry continued to simmer.

The situation took a dramatic turn when Triple H announced that Lashley's suspension had been escalated to a termination – Lashley was fired from FBW. This decision added fuel to the already intense feud, leaving Lashley without a contract but the animosity between him and Batista still very much intact.

Last week's episode marked a significant development in the story, as it saw the long-awaited return of Batista to FBW. The former WWE superstar made a triumphant comeback, and upon his return, he issued an open challenge for a match at WrestleMania to anyone in the FBW locker room. This bold challenge, however, did not go unanswered, as Ricochet returned to FBW and accepted Batista's offer, setting the stage for an exciting clash between the two superstars.

However, during Ricochet's address to the FBW Universe, chaos ensued as Bobby Lashley, now fired and with nothing to lose, invaded the show. He ambushed Ricochet before security could intervene, leaving both men in a chaotic brawl. With Batista's return and Lashley's termination, the story takes an even more dramatic turn, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the unfolding events in this explosive feud. Ricochet vs. Batista at WrestleMania.
