Elias came to Raw with one stated desire: to hit Bobby Lashley with a guitar. The All Mighty replied by hitting his favorite pose, provoking The Living Truth into a fight on the ramp that Lashley and Lio Rush were seemingly able to escape once Elias got the upper hand. But the guitarist would still get what he wanted, in a sense, thanks to a surprising assist.
Just when it looked like The Living Truth was going to come up empty, Rush was tossed back into his sights by Finn Bálor, who popped up unexpectedly near the commentary table. Elias didn’t hesitate to capitalize, shattering one of his six-strings over the back of The 24-Year-Old Piece of Gold and netting a well-earned Too Sweet from the Irishman. Elias’ retribution on The All Mighty might have to wait until WWE TLC. Until then, Lio Rush isn’t a bad consolation prize.
