That pyrotechnics display WWE booked on Raw between Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley will be replayed before this Sunday's 'Last Man Standing' match, and with good reason. It was quite the stunt, and it was bad-ass to see Lashley recover then power through the pain to squash Rey Mysterio this week. That's strong heel booking 101.

About damn time.

WWE would be taking a step backwards by penning anything other than a Bobby Lashley win at Extreme Rules. He needs this, otherwise he'll be dead in the water by SummerSlam again. Screw 50/50 booking and that old babyface revenge sh*t for now, because Lashley is in dire need of some consistency if he's ever going to live up to his potential.

Braun's fans have been patient for the longest time, so they can surely wait a while longer to see their strongman live up to his own billing. The best outcome here is that another big stunt orchestrated by Lashley leads him to victory and bragging rights on Raw 24 hours later.
