2. Revenge With Baby Oil

If you were publicly humiliated in the main event of a national TV program by being sprayed with baby oil and attacked, what would you do the following week to get revenge?

If you said spray your opponent with baby oil, hit them once and then just pose yourself, then congratulations, you can be a WWE writer.

Bobby Lashley got a modicum of revenge on Theory Monday night, but he stopped at a single spear, and the demanded a United States Championship match. He then dangled the title for Theory before posing on the turnbuckles.

Meanwhile, Theory seethed on the outside, supposedly blocked from getting revenge on Lashley by some invisible wall. How does any of this feel like a blood feud or a serious rivalry? They’ve sprayed each other with baby oil and hit each other once. If there was real hatred, don’t you think they’d do a little more, maybe pummel each other
