#2 Riddle challenges Bobby Lashley for United States Championship on WWE RAW
On the go-home episode of WWE RAW before Royal Rumble, Riddle picked an impressive victory in a ‘Hurt Business Gauntlet Match’. Essentially, he defeated Shelton Benjamin, MVP, and Cedric Alexander in order to win a shot at Bobby Lashley’s United States Championship. Following the match, his celebration was cut short by Lashley, who attacked him from behind.
During the Men’s Royal Rumble Match, Riddle ensured that he taunted a frustrated Lashley when the latter was eliminated. The feud between Riddle and The Hurt Business has been a part of WWE RAW for the last few weeks. Riddle now has the opportunity, and he will indeed look forward to challenging Lashley for the US title.
The previous encounters between Lashley and Riddle have been impressive. The Champion often comes across as a dominant performer while allowing enough room for Riddle to look like a credible challenger. The fans would love to see both these Superstars lock horns once again on WWE RAW, especially with Lashley’s title on the line.
