Unless something changes in the coming several days, both Elias and Bobby Lashley will not be on the card at SummerSlam.

But that didn’t stop them from having a goofy segment Monday night, with Elias using a local talent known as Ricky Roberts as his avatar. Roberts, decked out as a country singer, claimed Elias was his favorite musician, leading the troubadour to come out to the stage to praise the crowd for being so strong and resilient for carrying on while living in a “pile of garbage” like Greensboro, NC.

Enter Bobby Lashley, who derided Roberts, but turned his back, allowing Ricky to blast him with a guitar. Unfortunately for him, it didn’t faze Lashley, who demolished Roberts with a spinebuster.

And that was it. One guitar, one spinebuster. No match, no real furthering of their feud, just a reminder that they don’t like each other. Yay.
