WWE RAW Flops and Hits: Kevin Owens breaks top champion’s streak, Seth Rollins gets a message from Roman Reigns (January 17, 2022)

#4 Hit on WWE RAW: Bobby Lashley shines in the main event

The main event of WWE RAW saw Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley engage in an impressive singles bout.

Lashley had to look prepared for a battle against Brock Lesnar, and Rollins needed to look strong before his match against Roman Reigns. The match served both those purposes as both Rollins and Lashley stole the show with their performances.

The All Mighty relied on his brute strength to dominate the match, whereas The Visionary used his speed. The combination worked well as it gave us a glimpse of what to expect from both superstars’ respective matches scheduled for Royal Rumble.

Unfortunately, the match ended in disqualification as Shelton Benjamin, and Cedric Alexander attacked Bobby Lashley as he had refused to reform The Hurt Business.

Lashley still dominated both his former allies, and his double suplex was enough to prove that he is more than prepared to face The Beast Incarnate next. A shocked Seth Rollins was greeted by The Usos, who hit the Architect with a superkick back in the ring.

Last week, he dodged the SmackDown Tag Team Champions on the blue brand, but we all know Roman Reigns knows how to get his message across.

Usually, a non-finish jeopardizes the credibility of top superstars, but tonight that wasn’t the case. WWE RAW has had several loose knots since Day 1, and tonight’s show saw at least some of them being tied to make room for crucial developments as we inch closer to Royal Rumble 2022.
