10 WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs 2019 Impulse Reactions
3. Bobby Lashley Vs. Rusev
WhatCulture.com's own Andy Murray was the first to spot that WWE had moved into the content game with this particular programme as YouTube numbers spiked for whatever insane thumbnail the company could generate from the weekly daft interactions between Rusev, Bobby Lashley and Lana.
It hadn't proven popular on television but the video upload numbers held and the fans in arenas responded well to it. Knowingly silly, it had been justifiably positioned as a palette cleanser as long as the company booked the babyface to serve some harsh comeuppance when the blow-off came. But he didn't. Of course he didn't. Babyfaces never do in WWE. Rusev especially.
The pair believably beat the sh*t out of each other before Lashley smashed his love rival at the second attempt. So...what, exactly? You know what - this isn't over, King, because WWE want to try and pop a Raw number over Christmas with 'The Bulgarian Brute' eventually extracting his revenge by dumping Lashley and Lana in a giant prop present during a festive edition of the flagship. Rusev again should have had his Day, but he'll clearly never get it.
