Bobby Lashley had his eyes set on the WWE United States Championship tonight, and in typical All Mighty fashion, he came, saw, and conquered.
In a title match against reigning champ Austin Theory, Lashley did just what he said he would do, and come into the ring and take down Theory. In the end, it was Lashley’s strength that won it for him, as he was able to reverse an ATL attempt and lock Theory into the Hurt Lock to force Theory to tap out.
