Ditto.

Bobby Lashley vs. Theory was another title bout which easily could've sent fans in Vegas to sleep had it been worked with a methodical (boring, basically) tempo, but both guys clearly have some chemistry. That went a long way to making their United States Title showdown worthwhile.

This fan isn't really sure that putting the US belt back on Lashley was the right call, but at least now Raw has a top babyface champion again. That's something the brand has lacked since RK-Bro held the tag-team gold, so it's great to see that goodwill return on Monday nights.

Both these fellas worked really hard to get fans onside too, and they'd deserve a rematch if there's any interest behind the scenes. It'd be in-keeping with Theory's arrogance if he wanted to take his title back as well as hold MITB at the same time.
