5 Problems with Finn Balor winning the Intercontinental title at Elimination Chamber

#4 Bobby Lashley not being involved in the decision

Are Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush officially done?

Bobby Lashley lost his Intercontinental title without even being pinned and while that's a great way to protect Lashley going forward, it really minimizes Finn Balor's win quite a lot. Beyond that, it shows the lack of faith that WWE officials have in Balor and that when push comes to shove, they will choose Goliath over David

Of course none of this is anything new, but anyone trying to portray Balor's win as a feat of brilliance is sorely mistaken. If nothing else, it was a hand out after months and months of toiling away in the midcard and isn't exactly something to be proud of. Another thing that drives this point home is the fact that Lashley wasn't involved in the ending of the match.

Not only did that completely underscore everything Balor had done during this match, it also showed that The WWE still doesn't believe in him. Maybe that will change as time goes on and maybe WWE will realize that they have a legitimate contender holding their IC title, but it could just all be a set up to crown a new champion at WrestleMania 35.
