#4 Rusev's story with Bobby Lashley isn't over yet

Rusev and Bobby Lashley ended disappointingly for fans as The Dominator put Rusev through a table, killing his momentum and getting a big one over The Bulgarian Brute.

Many believed that Rusev would have the edge over Lashley, but the tables stipulation played towards Lashley's favor and Lana jumping on Rusev's back to help Lashley certainly added to the odds that the former United States Champion had to face.

Lashley winning essentially confirms that the rivalry is far from over. The timing isn't too bad since there's still three episodes of RAW before the new year begins - which will start the build to Royal Rumble 2020.

We can't see this feud extending till then, so we imagine that there's a TV match or two left for the two men to have. The question will be as to what Lana's role is going to be in all of this. What we do know, for sure, is that Lashley and Lana will be having a major celebratory party on RAW. But will Rusev play the spoils and come ruin it?
