5 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (August 6)
4. Lashley Tumbles
This is not to say that Elias is a minor star on Raw, but Bobby Lashley should not be tangling with the troubadour right now.
Less than a month ago, Lashley defeated Roman Reigns clean at Extreme Rules. Two weeks later (and two weeks ago), Reigns got his win back over Lashley, earning a WWE Universal Championship match at SummerSlam. Rather than point out that they were 1-1 and there should be a rubber match (a rare time when it was completely warranted), Lashley moved along into a scenario where he has now interrupted Elias twice.
To go from one pinfall away from challenging for the brand’s top title to making a documentary team film you suplexing a guitar-player, is quite a fall.
This is just another case of WWE having no idea of what to do with Lashley. They struck something for a while with Reigns, but now it’s back to treading water.
