8 surprising moments from Raw and Smackdown Live this week

#4 Lashley brings back a familiar move

While Lashley's character might still be a little bit bland, WWE is taking the right steps to mold him into a relentless ass kicker

The truth is that WWE's awful handling of Bobby Lashley has made the former United States Champion feel boring, from monotonous promos to lackluster matches, Lashley has not been booked as the freak of nature many fans wanted him to be. But, that might be changing for the better, as this week on Raw Lashley made his claim for a Universal Title opportunity against the man no one has managed to beat, Brock Lesnar.

And obviously, when it comes to the Universal Title scene, Roman Reigns is around, which prompted GM Kurt Angle to book a multi-man number one contender match at Extreme Rules for the Universal Title, but before that significant bout Angle booked Lashley and Reigns against The Revival, a team that was sadly just on Raw to eat the pinfall.

The surprising thing about this is that the move that ended the match was a spear, but not from " the big dog" as usual but from Lashley. The spear has been a regular finishing move of Lashley for years now, and the fact that WWE allowed him to use it again in the era of Roman Reigns was a surprising moment.
