– Former WWE and TNA Knockout/Diva Kristal Marshall recently tweeted the following to Bobby Lashley: @fightbobby Taking pictures with ur kids and posting them doesn’t make u a good dad. Pay child support. Would be a good start. The former real-life couple had a son named Myles in July 2008. Lashley also has a daughter, Kyra, who was born in 2005. Kristal is not the “baby mama” of Kyra.
One of the rumored reasons Bobby Lashley left WWE years ago was because his girlfriend at the time (Kristal Marshall) didn’t want to take part in an angle on SmackDown where she would become Edge’s girlfriend. WWE then de-pushed and wound up releasing her several months later and that upset Bobby. There was also an issue with Michael Hayes and a racist comment he made that eventually got back to Lashley. There were a lot of reasons he wanted out but those were two of the main reasons at the time.

WWE STUDIOS AND ABC FAMILY CAPTURE THE HOLIDAYS WITH CHRISTMAS BOUNTY
STAMFORD, Conn., October 26, 2012 – WWE Studios (NYSE:WWE) and ABC Family today announced that WWE Studios and ABC Family are developing an upcoming television movie, Christmas Bounty, for a 2013 world premiere during ABC Family’s popular “25 Days of Christmas” programming event. WWE Superstar The Miz is attached to star in a lead role.
Christmas Bounty is an action-filled comedy about a former bounty hunter turned elementary schoolteacher. Determined to have a normal life, and keep her bounty hunter past a secret, she reluctantly returns home for Christmas to help save the family business by catching the one bounty that got away. But when her fiancé follows her home for the holiday, she struggles to hide her wild family business and a bounty hunter ex-boyfriend she thought she’d left behind. Written by Andrew Black & Vivian Lee, and James Berg & Stan Zimmerman, the movie is scheduled to go into production in early 2013.
“We are so pleased to partner with a tremendous network like ABC Family,” said Michael Luisi, President, WWE Studios. “25 Days of Christmas is one of the biggest cable programming events of the year and is the perfect release platform for this engaging holiday title.”
“ABC Family is the destination for holiday programming and is known for great original holiday movies. We’re thrilled to partner with WWE Studios and bring WWE’s passionate fan base to ABC Family and our wonderful 25 Days of Christmas programming event with such a fun movie,” added Kate Juergens, Executive Vice President, Original Series Programming and Development, ABC Family.
The Miz has been a devoted WWE fan his whole life, and most recently starred in WWE’s film The Marine 3: Homefront. MTV’s Real World alum Mike “The Miz” Mizanin competed on the fourth season of WWE’s reality show Tough Enough in hopes of winning a contract to become a WWE Superstar. After finishing as the runner-up, The Miz didn’t give up on his dream and continued to train once the show concluded. Now, his hard work is being rewarded as the reality TV Star with the frat boy looks, sophomoric humor and explosive intensity is living out his dream at the top of the WWE roster.
