2) Update On Bobby Lashley

According to Mike Johnson of PWinsider, Bobby Lashley is not injured. He just did a great job of selling his knee on RAW.

Here is what Johnson wrote:

“For those who asked about Bobby Lashley’s knee, he is 100% fine and was just doing an absolutely excellent job at selling coming out of the spot where he slammed Randy Orton through the table. Lashley was getting a lot of praise for his performance last night after the bout, as he should have, as he was pretty damn magnificent.”

My Take:

  • This is great to hear. Lashley did a fantastic job as Champion and he deserves a lot of credit.
