#3: Bobby Lashley lost an arm-wrestling contest but established his dominance on RAW Underground

MVP lost his shot at winning the United States Title after losing against Apollo Crews at SummerSlam. WWE made an obvious booking decision and put Bobby Lashley as the #1 contender for the same Championship this week.

As fans have witnessed in recent weeks, Lashley has proved time and time again that he is far more superior than other Superstars who are a part of WWE's mid-card.

Lashley is physically stronger than Apollo Crews. But he lost the arm-wrestling contest (hosted by Mark Henry) to the US Champion, who got the better of The All-Mighty by outsmarting him.

Arm-Wrestling contests are usually not the best gimmick segments in WWE, but Lashley redeemed himself in RAW Underground a few moments later. Dolph Ziggler was scheduled to face Ivar in Shane McMahon's Fight Club this week. However, The Hurt Business arrived to spoil those plans as they took over RAW Underground once again.

Lashley vs. Crews will happen at this Sunday's Payback event, and it will be interesting to see if the U.S. Champion can overcome one of the strongest specimens in WWE today.
