What happened is honestly going to be the start of Lashley reforming The Hurt Business. He's said he wants to in an interview recently. Also Shelton just lost his new partner in R-Truth so now he was without direction. Cedric Alexander also returned last night, more on that in a bit.

Anyways, Theory beat (with a cheap shot) a returning Shelton earlier in the night. Keep in mind he also has history with Lashley. Lashley took the open challenge but absolutely destroyed Rollins before it started, with Adam Pearce telling him to leave. I don't know why they played it how they did with MITB because unless they were saying "Rollins can't do a match now, challenge is off". Either way, Theory attempts a cash-in on the still destroyed Rollins. Rollins does the thing where he kicks out of move after move after move, the guy you can't keep down. They've been doing that with him for years now, so it makes sense here. Keeps it up just long enough that a now super pissed off Lashley returns and mauls Theory on the outside for basically taking the match that was his. Leaves Theory on the outside, but he gets in the ring just before the 10, which if they really wanted him buried they'd probably have him get counted out. Unfortunately, he runs right into a curb stomp and gets pinned.

Now with Cedric, his return earlier in the night means all 3 members of the Hurt Business are on the same show again. He got beat by Baron Corbin with JBL. What I think might happen here is that JBL is going to offer Theory his services, to help him to the next level, thus starting a new faction. Now I'm curious what they do for a 3rd man, but I have 2 ideas. First, Omos runs off MVP for not being there for him in Saudi. MVP goes back to The Hurt Business and JBL approaches Omos and has him join, making another trio. Idea 2 is that Seth joins JBL, Corbin and Theory to help him in his feud with The Hurt Business.

I think the interesting thing to watch for here is if this is the start of WWE working in a trios division to try and outdo AEWs attempt at it. The Hurt Business, JBL and co, Usos & Solo, and New Day with a returning Big E, The OC and Judgement Day. Can't remember any others atm, but all those people appeared on RAW tonight except Big E. Also gives RAW another kind of championship to have on their show since Roman is there like once every couple months at best.
