Spare a thought for big Bob.

If WWE plan to move on from Lio Rush buzzing around Lashley like any self-respecting 'Hype Man' should, then they're making a mistake. It sure looks like that's what's happening. Bobby has seemingly linked up permanently with Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre in some sort of attempt at a new stable.

The only one who will benefit from this is Corbin. He'll be dragged into relevance by a red-hot McIntyre, but the Scotsman will in turn suffer by being associated with such directionless characters. Who on earth thinks removing a mouthpiece from someone who can't talk (Lashley) and putting him with someone who can but bores people to death (Corbin) is a good idea?

Lashley is right back at square one. He's back where he started before some bright spark had a eureka moment and installed the irritating Rush as his verbal representative. It doesn't make sense to drum up something that worked, give the pair a nondescript title reign then scrap it just like that.
