It’s scary to think that the Hurt Business is one of the few true bright spots on Raw these days, but here we are.

Hats off to MVP and Bobby Lashley, who came out to trash-talk Sami Zayn and point out that he doesn’t stand a chance at Survivor Series. It was the kind of promo that made the match actually feel like it means something. Then, he stepped right up to Titus O'Neil, who tried to step up himself. Lashley put his United States Championship on the line, and in a matter of seconds, he beat Titus down convincingly.

See? It’s not terribly hard to win an “up” here, is it?
