Tough crowd on RAW tonight.

There is no reason for Lashley to be this cold. This guy should be a top 5 guy in your company and he has a boring chant on #RAW

5) Bobby Lashley has a new finishing move
Lashley ended up winning the match against Corbin in the opening match. The thing to note from the match was that Bobby Lashley has a new finishing move.
As a little tidbit, Braun used to use this move as his finisher before changing to the running powerslam.
Lashley wins with Strowman’s old finisher. (Gets them up in position for the Ron Simmons Dominator, but then flips them the other way with a twisting motion and makes them go face-first) #WWE #Raw

Lashley taking Braun’s original finisher is interesting.

6) Kurt Angle Says That Brock Lesnar Won’t Be Getting His Universal Title Rematch Anytime Soon
Paul Heyman asked Kurt Angle for Brock Lesnar’s contractually obligated rematch for the Universal Title. Heyman suggested that Hell in a Cell would be a good place for it.
Kurt turned Heyman down and said that it will be a while before Brock gets his rematch. Pretty interesting development here. I wonder if Brock will come back in several months and challenge for the Title again (after he is finished with UFC).
