Despite the grumble about Kofi Kingston getting absolutely smoked, Bobby Lashley winning in convincing fashion was a sight to behold.

After his promo Monday night to close out Raw, you had to expect that Lashley would be in a no-nonsense mood and just hammer down on the throttle. This was a Brock Lesnar-esque beating, which seems apropos given that the likely next challengers for the WWE Champion are either Goldberg or Brock.

Lashley ran through Kofi in a way that makes you believe that there’s no one who can stop him, which is what he’ll need going forward. And he did it in impressive fashion, so hats off to him and WWE for this one.
