Downs

6. Does Anyone Care About Lashley?

Remember when Bobby Lashley was part of an angle that closed out numerous episodes of Raw and was seemingly the focus of the promotion for several weeks?

Yeah, neither do we.

Lashley has gone from a focal point to being cannon fodder for R-Truth at Super Showdown. Monday’s return to action and squashing of Zack Ryder might be considered a good thing, but what’s his direction? He’s not involved in the United States Championship conversation, he’s not in a tag team, and he’s nowhere near on the level of the WWE Championship right now.

Hell, he’s more likely to be sacrificed to Drew McIntyre to get him even more over than he is to be McIntyre’s first challenger after WrestleMania.

You’ve got to start to build back up sometime, but does anyone really think this is going to lead somewhere?
