KM Tries to Prove Himself Against Lashley
KM spent the latter part of 2017 trying to join American Top Team. He finally got his wish about a month ago and now faces their former leader. Last week, KM costed Lashley his match last week against Moose and Lashley did not take it lightly. Lashley speared KM and now KM wants revenge against Walking Armageddon.
Lashley is able to take control early but not the dominating control that fans are used to. KM is able to fight off the offense of Lashley but it’s the over confidence of KM that costs in as Lashley regains control. The newest member of American Top Team continues to talk as he is in control of the former World Champion. As the match is halfway through, it still feels like this isn’t pushing KM in the way that anyone would hope.
Most of his control was on rest holds which shows no true offense or moveset. Lashley fights back out of the sleeper but KM showing amazing quickness. KM delivers the slowest suicide dive ever but it keeps control in his favor. Lashley finds his momentum and the match starts to move faster than KM would like. The reversal of the pumphandle slam leads to a match ending spear by Bobby Lashley.
