Points to Bobby Lashley for creativity, but it may end up taking a little more than a last-minute switcheroo to hold off Finn Bálor. The All-Mighty’s big plan to upend his match with the Irishman on Raw — in which a victory would potentially give Bálor a crack at Lashley’s Intercontinental Title — was to sub in his hype man Lio Rush and only grant Finn the title bout if he “entertained” the champion enough to earn one.
Unfortunately, Lashley’s attempts to humiliate Bálor got the better of him. The All-Mighty got himself thrown out of the match halfway through, and despite an impressive effort by The Man of the Hour that saw him target Bálor’s tenderized ribs, the former Universal Champion evaded Lio’s Final Hour frog splash, drilled his opponent with a dropkick and spiked a Coup de Grâce to conclude a thoroughly entertaining match. Whether it was enough to get Finn a title opportunity, however, is a question for another day.
