The Sami Zayn/Bobby Lashley feud has done the former United States Champion no favors.

Zayn’s “interview with Lashley’s “sisters” was a disgrace. But worse, this feud has exposed Lashley’s biggest weakness: his inability to talk or connect with fans. Seriously, watch Monday’s segment where Sami just ranted and shredded Bobby by going through his Instagram posts, calling Lashley a fraud trying to make a cash grab.

And what was Lashley’s comeback? Next to nothing. Bobby got off a few pleads for Sami to come back into the ring, but that was it. He smiled throughout the whole thing – until Zayn suggested that he was lying about his military service. But even then, Lashley didn’t say or do anything.

Did anyone come away from this segment wanting to cheer Lashley more or see him get “revenge” on Sami?
