• RAW Star Snaps & Has A Character Change
The first match of tonight’s RAW was Bobby Lashley vs. Kevin Owens. During the match, Lashley’s manager Lio Rush tried to begin a ‘Lashley’ chant but failed multiple times.
Crowd kept on booing Lashley. Lashley ended up picking the win. After the match was over, Lashley snapped and attacked Owens. Lashley even threatened to hit a referee while doing it.
While it looked like a heel turn, the commentators didn’t make a big deal out of it and noted that Lashley has changed and become more dangerous.
