In the Clash of Champions column, we gave an “up” to the United States Championship match because it looked like the feud between Apollo Crews and Bobby Lashley was finally put to bed.

Fast-forward 24 hours and we had yet another six-man tag match involving the Hurt Business and Apollo Crews & Ricochet, with Mustafa Ali joining them. Joy. Someone needs to file a restraining order to keep these men apart for at least one episode.

We got the usual fare from these guys, as they filled time on a three-hour show before Ali scored the win with a 450 splash on the slow-moving MVP. While it was good to see Ali pick up a pinfall win, knowing that the Hurt Business is Raw’s top heel faction – and probably one of its better commodities – you know they’ll get revenge soon enough.

So of course, this feud must continue.
