Summary

Stokely says Bobby Lashley was not happy after he used a spear during the April 8 episode of AEW Dynamite.

The moment came during a segment involving FTR, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. With Cage being held up by FTR, Stokely hit the spear and then stole Copeland's watch.

In a later interview, Stokely joked that he now owns the move, and said FTR could share in that ownership if they wanted. The segment was one of several notable developments on that Dynamite, which also included a late trios match change involving Brody King and Bandido.

The AEW Dynamite fallout

Stokely said Lashley confronted him after the segment, but described the exchange as brief. According to Stokely, he pulled Lashley aside, challenged him directly and got no further response before Lashley walked away.

That keeps the focus on how much personality Stokely is bringing to the FTR and Christian Cage orbit on television. If AEW keeps leaning into that role, moments like this give him more presence beyond straightforward manager duties.

Quote from Stokely

"I would say yes, that I own it. I would also give partial ownership to FTR in case they wanted to use it as well."

Stokely later went on to say:

"I know that Bobby was very upset about it. I pulled him aside. I looked him in the eyes and I said, 'What are you gonna do about it?' Then he just walked away, so that was the end of the conversation."

What this could mean for Stokely on AEW TV

Stokely turning one spear into another talking point helps extend the segment past a single Dynamite appearance. For AEW, that matters because it gives Stokely extra credibility as an on-screen agitator around FTR and Christian Cage, even when he is not the one taking the physical spotlight.

It also gives AEW another easy character beat to revisit later if the company wants to keep the tension around Stokely's antics alive. The source material does not point to a formal program with Lashley, but it does show AEW getting more mileage out of one chaotic segment.
