Bobby Lashley claimed he returned to WWE to make a play for the Universal Championship. He’s now two victories away from that goal, having defeated Elias and Seth Rollins in the night’s second Triple Threat, earning himself a second date with Roman Reigns where a SummerSlam match with The Beast hangs in the balance.
That said, Elias certainly did his best to steal Lashley’s thunder, to say nothing of Rollins’: The Living Truth dished out knees to anything with a pulse to gain an early lead, and stayed steady in the eye of the storm even as the chaos of the Triple Threat began to build. Rollins kicked into overdrive in response, targeting both his opponents at once. But thanks to a last-second breakup of the Stomp by Lashley, the fight rolled on, and the former ECW Champion ultimately scored the win with a Spear to Elias after the guitarist hauled Rollins out of the ring. One more of those, and Lashley has Brock Lesnar. Two more of those, and he has the Universal Title.
