Two weeks ago in the WWE Championship Match main event on Raw, we saw the return of The Almighty Bobby Lashley who hasn't been on Raw since losing the WWE Title to AJ Styles.

Last week on Raw, The Almighty Bobby Lashley addressed the WWE Title in the most cold-hearted way to let everyone know there will be no games when he faces AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank.

Tonight, Bobby Lashley entered the ring with MVP but walked out alone after crushing MVP's helpless body in the ring and blaming him for losing the WWE Championship.
The Almighty Bobby Lashley accused MVP of bad politics that got him in a position to lose the WWE Title so he knew he had to "take care" of MVP before he faces AJ Styles in a rematch at the WWE Money in the Bank premium live event.
