#6 Bobby Lashley defeats Roman Reigns

Enter
Meh

Roman Reigns vs Bobby Lashley was doomed from the start. Two boring and failed experiments faced each for, in Michael Cole's words, "bragging rights." Since his return, Lashley has frequently displayed his flaws on the microphone and Reigns is no better. But, kudos to both the wrestlers for working hard to add some relevance to the rivalry. Their segment on the previous Raw was certainly a good one.

But, the whole match was just a proof of Reign's limited move set. Except from his trademark signatures and finishers, Reigns hardly did something innovative. Lashley tried his best to carry Reigns throughout the match but he could only do so much. Also, WWE's pathetic attempts to get Reigns cheered out of sympathy are exhausting.

The fact that this match was not the main event of the show was a welcome surprise. This decision was the one that saved this match. It is good to see that WWE has learned from it's mistakes after the Reigns vs Joe Backlash fiasco.

Grade: C+
