2.) Bobby Lashley

When Rey Mysterio returned from injury on the Raw before Extreme Rules, Bobby Lashley obliterated him and ruined his return. In the WWE, a big return is usually complementary to a “welcome back” victory, but that did not seem to be the case for Mysterio.

After losing to Braun Strowman at Extreme Rules and getting eliminated by him at the Cross-Branded Universal Championship Number One Contender All Star-Battle Royal, Lashley has had nothing going for him on Raw.

Since his feud with Strowman is officially closed, he could continue his obliteration of Mysterio at SummerSlam. However, there is a slight caveat. It has been rumored that Lashley is currently wrestling injured. This could mean that he won’t even make it to SummerSlam and could be out for a while.

Albeit it is not as likely for Lashley to be healthy enough to compete against Mysterio at SummerSlam, Mysterio definitely needs a win against Lashley in the near future to retrieve his pride and dignity from that unfortunate return loss and beatdown.

Now, Lashley did cross the line by disrespecting Mysterio’s return. However, nothing is more disrespectful than ripping off Mysterio’s mask, which a Superstar did last week on Raw in a similar manner to how Eddie Guerrero and Randy Orton did it in the past.
