6 WWE Superstars who were absent this week on RAW

#2. Current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley has a match against Kofi Kingston in less than three weeks' time at Money in the Bank for the WWE Championship.

MVP explained that the champion was on vacation this week, so Kofi Kingston was forced to send a message to his manager instead for Lashley's actions against Xavier Woods last week.

Lashley competed in back-to-back Hell in a Cell matches last week and was seemingly given a break following the history-making 24 hours of his career. His absence also allowed Kingston to deliver a passionate promo regarding his ascension to the WWE Championship picture, and then send quite the message to the current champion by delivering a Trouble in Paradise to MVP.

This act will only add to the intensity of the feud between Lashley and Kingston when The Almighty returns to RAW next week.
