7 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Unexpected romantic storyline, Superstar set for massive push after backstage segment with Triple H? (January 11th, 2021)

#5 The United States Championship picture on RAW

The Hurt Business came with a gameplan

[Matt] Riddle faced Bobby Lashley for the United States title on RAW, and this time, it was the latter who came with a gameplan. Attacking Riddle before their match on RAW, he took advantage of the situation to defeat him convincingly.

This time, the referee on RAW saw the tap, and Bobby Lashley successfully retained the United States title once again. It's hard to see anybody displacing Bobby Lashley right now, especially given his momentum.

Post-match, Riddle challenged MVP, who came to give him a beatdown. While he was in a prime position to win the match, Lashley saved MVP and speared The King Of Bros, causing a disqualification.

It means that Riddle could still be in the United States title picture on RAW. It won't be surprising to see him challenge Lashley again. Hopefully, their next match takes place with a stipulation.

We still don't expect Lashley to lose the title, however. Riddle is a great superstar, but Lashley has had great momentum since April 2020, and it should continue for some more time.
