2. Lashley Looks Like A Killer

Setting aside the stupidity that has been the disintegration of the Hurt Business, Monday’s match between Bobby Lashley and Cedric Alexander made the WWE Champion look like a monster.

Lashley absorbed a pre-match beating from Cedric and Shelton Benjamin and proceeded to beat Alexander in their one-on-one match, overcoming a late-match comeback to put the former tag champ down. And afterwards, Lashley also put Benjamin down. He looked like a killer in the process, more than capable of holding onto his title at WrestleMania.

It’s just a shame he inexplicably had to ask the locker room for help softening up or taking out Drew McIntyre, because that just doesn’t fit into this.
