WWE has made a great setting for the Madison Square Garden show to be held on March 5. It will not be a televised show, but the strategic location of the venue has made WWE want to offer a great show to try to sell as many tickets as possible.
Until yesterday, WWE announced the rematch between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley for the Championship. However, in the last few hours, the official website of Madison Square Garden has updated the billboard for the show, removing Bobby Lashley from the list of confirmed superstars.
Instead, they have written:
“The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Championship.”
Bobby Lashley suffered a concussion in Elimination Chamber, according to WWE in an official statement. However, the fighter arrived at the show with a shoulder injury, supposedly produced in the 5-way fight on WWE Day after receiving a Duplex from Brock Lesnar.
