Vince Russo isn't impressed with WWE's booking of Bobby Lashley. On this week's episode of Monday Night RAW, he was victorious over The Miz.

During the match, The Miz was distracted by Dexter Lumis, who appeared in the crowd and cost the former WWE Champion the match.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's recent episode of Legion of RAW, Russo claimed that during the Lashley vs. Miz match, the focus was mostly on The A-Lister, which didn't do any favors for the United States Champion.

"There's no focus on him. There was zero focus on him in this match. They were able to give him a 'good win' but the focus was clearly not on him throughout this match." said Russo. [41:10 – 43]

"I enjoyed being in the ring with AJ. He's phenomenal, he's one of the best in the business and he took me... I'm half dead and trying to catch my breath because going out there and fighting him. So I love it. I mean this is what I came here for and that's why I came back for... AJ definitely is one of the best of the best."

It remains to be seen what plans WWE has in store for Bobby Lashley going forward and who his next title challenger will be.
