The closing segment of RAW last week, the unique 'Posedown' featuring Bobby Lashley and Theory, was reportedly not the initial plan by WWE. Former 24/7 Champion R-Truth was reportedly pitched initially for the main event of RAW.

Lashley won the 'flex-off' between him and Theory. Theory, unhappy about the loss, squirted Lashley on the face with a bottle of oil. The segment garnered mixed reactions from the wrestling world.

Based on a recent report by Fightful Select, the original pitch for the main event was to involve R-Truth with several props to add comedic elements to the closing segment.


Bobby Lashley sent Theory a warning after interrupting him on RAW

On the RAW after Hell in a Cell, Theory interrupted the former WWE Champion's address to fans. Bobby Lashley challenged Theory to put his title on the line, which the latter refused. Theory attempted to take a selfie with The All-Mighty but was thrown out of the ring.

Later on RAW Talk, Lashley sent the US Champion a stern warning. It led to a feud between the two, highlighting Lashley's interest in winning the US Title once again:

"The kid looks great, he's been wrestling. He's been killing it. Then he comes to me. The decisions we make in wrestling and this is just a bad decision for him. It's not the time... Kid, you have two options: turn away or turn back and bring me the title... I guess if he wants to step up for me, I've got a new title to go for... I'd say fully focused on kicking his a** for coming out there and interrupting me while I was talking to the audience."

Theory and Lashley haven't competed against each other yet. The youngest US Champion is vying for a match with WWE icon John Cena. It remains to be seen how the feud between Lashley and Theory progresses.
