Bengaluru, March 2: Bobby Lashley put an end to sixteen years of misery and solidified his legacy in the world of sports entertainment as he became the new WWE Champion on this week’s Monday Night Raw.
In the previously announced main event of WWE’s flagship show, The Dominator captured the most prestigious belt by defeating The Miz via submission.
This title match was used to hype up last night's show for a week. It was announced that the title bout would open the second hour of RAW but The Miz said he was unable to perform due to some sort of sickness and needed some more time. So, the match schedule was postponed by an hour.
As per instructions from Shane McMahon and Adam Pearce, the match was ordered to take place at 10 PM ET. This time around, The Miz ended the match via a count-out by opting to walk away from the ring. Lashley was irate about the unfair display by the champion and filed a complaint to junior McMahon.
