7. What’s A DQ?

Last time we checked, a wrestler not in a match attacking a wrestler involved in said match in full view of the referee was grounds for a DQ.

But apparently, Bobby Lashley attacking four of the six participants in the six-man tag match between the New Day and the Bloodline wasn’t cause for a DQ. In fact, the ref just sat there hopelessly waving his arms as Lashley attacked the Usos, Kofi Kingston and Big E. This naturally led to Xavier Woods being distracted and eating a Roman Reigns spear for the win.

The match itself was fine, but that ending was just bad. You kept waiting for the bell to ring, and then it didn’t. And then Woods at a spear, and you were just resigned to go along with it.
