Extreme Rules Results: Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley

For weeks now, both Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns have tried to stake their claim as the (no pun intended) “big dog” of Monday Night RAW. Initially, it started out as small verbal jabs, but last Monday it finally broke down into an all out brawl that the red brand’s locker room couldn’t even contain prior to tonight’s clash at Extreme Rules.

Lashley would put on a clinic early using his amateur wrestling background, however Roman would score with strikes to begin showing why he’s the superior of the two. Reigns would go on to dump Lashley to the outside and use the surroundings to keep control, but when he went for the steel steps, Lashley would block and begin picking up the pace. Clotheslines and suplexes would follow back in the ring, ‘The Big Dog’ absorbing the attack to dish out more punishment of his own.

Battling one another didn’t seem to be getting the job done, sending Lashley to uncharacteristically go to the top rope. The move was a success, but a later hard fall to the floor would give Roman another opening and the two powerhouses continued to go back-and-forth. After trading off signature moves, Reigns would surprise Lashley with another Superman Punch and look for the Spear. Unfortunately, he would run into Lashley’s Spear for his efforts and Roman would be pinned.
