Bobby Lashley looked like a million bucks when he bounced back onto WWE TV the night after WrestleMania 34. As a much better performer than he had been during his last stint in the promotion, the legit powerhouse was determined to show how much he'd improved.

Shame he was stuck in crappy angles with Sami Zayn, undermined by Roman Reigns repeatedly calling him 'Bob' and forced to do some unentertaining meditation with Jinder Mahal instead of working top matches against guys like Brock Lesnar. That left Lashley 100% p*ssed off with the creative team.

He still is.

On The Big J Show, Lashley flat out admitted he was unhappy that WWE's writers didn't push him into serious matches against top-tier opponents. He seemed incredulous when remarking that a match with Brock 'had to happen', and said the snub has angered him.

You wouldn't like Bob when he's angry.
