Bobby Lashley Fired On Raw This Week

Pick up your last check. In the closing moments of Raw this week, WWE official Adam Pearce got into a confrontation with Bobby Lashley following his main event match with Seth Rollins.

The All Mighty was about to win the match and an opportunity at the United States Championship against Austin Theory when the referee was knocked out of the ring and twisted his ankle. This slight distraction allowed Rollins to recover and hit Lashley with a Pedigree out of a spear. Rollins would then make the cover to become the no. 1 contender for the championship.

Following the match, Lashley would snap and take out his aggression on two referees. This caused Pearce to come to ringside for a confrontation and and after Lashley pushed Pierce down, Pierce said that The All Mighty was fired.

Editor’s Opinion:

This was an interesting way to close the show and a plot twist I didn’t see coming. I’m not sure what the rationale behind this is, but it certainly seems like a steep punishment for a guy being frustrated with losing a match. Either way, I’m curious to see where this goes and how it will affect the championship picture going forward.
