AEW star Bobby Lashley has added another championship to his accomplished wrestling career, capturing the 4th Rope Heavyweight Championship during the promotion’s November 12, 2026 event.
Lashley defeated Joe Alonzo in a dominant performance that lasted approximately two minutes, making quick work of the defending champion to secure the title.
After challenging Alonzo for the championship, Lashley immediately took control of the contest, showcasing his trademark power by delivering a belly-to-belly suplex. He followed up with a devastating spear to secure the three-count and become the new 4th Rope Heavyweight Champion.
Following the match, Lashley’s longtime associate MVP entered the ring and personally placed the championship belt around his waist, celebrating the victory alongside the new champion.
Lashley is currently signed to AEW, where he competes as a member of The Hurt Syndicate alongside MVP and Shelton Benjamin. The faction reunited several familiar faces following their previous association in WWE, bringing their established chemistry to AEW programming.
The championship victory marks another accomplishment for Lashley, who has held major titles throughout his career in WWE and TNA Wrestling.
Before his appearance at the 4th Rope Wrestling event, Lashley’s most recent AEW match took place on the October 28 edition of AEW Collision. On that occasion, he teamed with Benjamin to defeat Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto in tag team action.
With the 4th Rope Heavyweight Championship now in his possession, Lashley continues to add to his championship résumé while remaining an active member of AEW’s roster.
It remains to be seen when Lashley will make his first defense of the newly won title.
