Uggh, it was worse than advertised.

When Sami Zayn announced last week that he was bringing Bobby Lashley’s three sisters to Raw this week to expose the lies about the Dominator’s life, anyone with a functioning brain had to know it was going to be brutal. Everyone knew this was going to be a huge dud of a segment.

And somehow, it was worse than you thought.

Thankfully (if you can say that), the “sisters” were men in drag (one with a mustache), just to get the punchline out of the way immediately rather than having real women play the part as phonies. Zayn’s interview with them was awful, but the worst part was Lashley’s reaction.

Bobby Lashley is not an actor, and with a crowd that had already turned on the segment, him coming out smiling and “laughing” about it was just not believable. It might have worked if it was done more convincingly, but it was just painful. And then we got the predictable beatdown of the three “sisters.”

But hey, Vince McMahon probably laughed his ass off at this.
