In yet another massive upset, Riddle scored a vital victory over the reigning US Champion Bobby Lashley on RAW. The match was a fantastic back and forth contest, with The Original Bro having the upper hand due to his attack on Lashley before the bout officially started.

Considering how dominantly Lashley has been booked in recent months, it was surprising to see him lose on an episode of RAW, albeit via a roll-up. The ending stages of the clash saw Riddle seemingly tapping to the Hurt Lock, but the referee failed to catch it due to being blindsided. It allowed Riddle to accumulate the win, much to the anger of MVP and Lashley.

This development has paved the way for Riddle to get a much-deserved shot at the US Championship at a later date. They have great chemistry together, as seen today, and we can be assured of a crackling encounter. Above that, reports of Lashley being a possible Royal Rumble winner can play a role in determining the outcome of the upcoming clash between the two.
