Bobby Lashley announced yesterday during an appearance on ESPN Radio that he has signed with TNA and will appear at Sunday's Victory Road PPV as well as next week's Impact tapings. Lashley said that Dixie Carter told him that he would only have to work four dates a month for TNA and could take the rest of the month off to focus on his MMA career. Lashley had signed a short-term agreement with TNA but had not signed an official contract until now. He was apparently waiting until he finished his MMA fight with Bob Sapp before signing the deal.
Lashley said during his appearance that he wanted to "give back" to the wrestling fans who were upset when he left WWE, and that was the main reason he was returning to wrestling. He also said that he left WWE "at the top of his game" and that he wanted to wrestle and fight, and that TNA will allow him to do both.
He also mentioned that he wants to have an MMA fight with Brock Lesnar one day, saying that he has already mapped out how he could beat Lesnar, though he did add that he doesn't want to downplay Lesnar's skills.
