For the past few weeks, Bobby Lashley had been warned to keep his anger in control on WWE Raw, time and time, again. But once again, the top superstar let his outrageous condition get the worst of him and the ultimatum had to be paid. As of this writing, he’s been fired from the WWE and he’s no more a member of the WWE roster.
Bobby Lashley competed against Seth Rollins to determine the number one contender for Austin Theory’s United States Championship in the main event of last night’s WWE Raw. The two heel superstars produced a solid match for the audience at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The intensity of the match even caused the match referee to get hurt during their match.

Lashley managed to connect with a Spear on Rollins but the referee was hurt and was unable to count the fall. A fuming Lashley went for another Spear but Rollins converted it with a Pedigree and they got the pinfall win.

Lashley showed his frustrations on officials on WWE Raw
Once the match was over on WWE Raw, Lashley was livid about the outcome which saw him losing a United States Title match opportunity. He took out a referee showing his rag when Adam Pearce arrived at the scene and advised Lashley not to do so. Lashley inadvertently pushed Pearce to the barricade, forcing the WWE official to fire him on the spot.
Pearce also lost his temper during the segment as he dropped an F-bomb during the verbal exchange between the two. He apologized on Twitter after WWE Raw for that. Interviewer Byron Saxton caught up with Adam Pearce backstage after WWE Raw went off the air and here are his comments on the matter,
“With all due respect Byron, but seriously? It just happened. You saw what happened. It would be very very premature for me to comment at this time. Thank You”.
As for Lashley, Byron tried to get an interview with Lashley, backstage as well but the latter was in no mood to comment and rather opted to storm off the arena. It’ll be interesting to see whether he appears on next week’s WWE Raw or not. The upcoming Rollins vs. Theory US Title match has also not been officially announced.
