The wrestling world went into a frenzy as Austin Theory once again retained his United States Championship against Bobby Lashley on WWE RAW XXX.

During tonight's main event, as soon as the match began, Lashley was all over Theory. The contest quickly spilled over to ringside, and The All Mighty had Theory on his shoulders, ramming his head against the unyielding steel ring post.

Later, the former WWE champion briefly had his opponent trapped in the Hurt Lock, but Theory managed to escape. Lashley switched things up and hit a Flatliner before launching Austin Theory headfirst into a chair in the ring corner.

Theory picked up a massive victory against the two-time former WWE Champion in the match's closing moment due to The Beast's interference.
