10 WWE Money In The Bank 2021 Impulse Reactions

7. Bobby Lashley (c) Vs. Kofi Kingston

This feud was a collectors item before the bell on this show even rang.

Kofi Kingston had defeated Bobby Lashley before 'The All-Mighty' had ceased hostilities with Drew McIntyre at Hell In A Cell. Resentment lingered and extended to Xavier Woods, who then also pinned Big Bobby on the go-home show. Lashley was rattled and raging and it made for a great story in the match itself.

The Champion elongated the Brock Lesnar destruction derby on Kingston to make him pay for exposing an insecurity, beating him so brutally that he had the confidence to suplex him out of a Hurt Lock and nail him with two dominators as The New Day man sold it with limp rag doll malleability. Reapplying the submission for the win, Lashley loved his work as much as the audience were shocked watching it happen.

WWE like "stunned silence" as a code phrase for the crowd not giving a f*ck, but the former doesn't generate the later. Those in the building were stunned alright, but horrified fans make horrified noises, and it didn't half help this entertaining decimation.
