I knew the stuff with Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley would suck but that was even worse than I expected. So much about that segment was badly written, outdated and executed that it's a perfect example why so many accuse Vince McMahon of being out of touch.

So to wrap it up, Lashley takes his shirt off to reveal one of the best physiques in wrestling history. On top of that, he's an amateur wrestling champion.
He was used in a comedy segment involving men in drag where he smiled almost the entire way through.
Somewhere, Vince Russo was taking notes and making mental improvements(BRO!!)
It's not 1993 anymore, so it's not really edgy or funny seeing men in drag. It's also past the era where it was considered okay to beat up on crossdressers and associate that with homosexuality. The time in which a father could tell his kid in attendance "Yeah, it's okay to boo the guy in the dress because he's the bad queer man, so it's okay to beat him up." Sami Zayn looked like a buffoon and Lashley just...frankly, it sorta reminded me of the times when WWE has tried to make Roman Reigns funny. Just let Lashley be the badass he is and use Zayn to his talents.

Then never have him in segments like that?
Given that Stephanie is "moderating" the contract signing between Nia Jax and Ronda Rousey tonight, at least it gives us some idea as to what might happen in their match. Rousey's probably not ready to be champion, but she also shouldn't just flat out lose to Nia either.

I can agree with that, but then you’re still really struggling to build the feud with him and Sami.
I'm expecting a cash-in to make Rousey champion and then lose it immediately.
