I have mixed feelings about Bobby Lashley as Intercontinental Champion
So, I know for a fact that Bobby Lashley needed a big title win. He has been booked in nonsense feuds, talking about his sisters or flexing his rear end, ever since his arrival. So I am glad that Bobby Lashley is Champion at last. But I have mixed feelings about the way it happened.

Bobby Lashley won the Intercontinental Championship with Lio Rush's assistance this week. This does not prove that he's a 'Dominator' of any kind or a credible threat for Brock Lesnar in due course of time. He is just yet another cheating heel, who cannot get the job done on his own.
Moreover, Dean Ambrose didn't really have a long run with the title, did he? I felt like his reign ended before it even really got underway.
