Bobby Lashley and Lana Wedding
Bobby Lashley and Lana make their entrances as the wedding is about to get started. There are no guests, groomsmen, or bridemaids. The show goes to commercial.
Back from commercial,. the priest apparently said something off script and Lana gets mad. The crowd then chants ‘Rusev Day’ to get in Lana’s skin. Lana retaliates but maintains her composure and is ready to state her vows.
Lana says that Lashley has worked so hard all his life and career for this moment: marriage with Lana. Lana shouts ‘Lana Day’ and is ready to make love with Lashley right in that ring in front of everyone. Evidently, Lashley maintained his self-control and reads the vow that Lana wrote for him. The vow was pretty much the same vow Lana read.
They place their rings on each other’s fingers, and the priest asks if anyone objects to this marriage. Lana’s 1st husband ran into the ring to orate how Lana left him for that son of a b***, Rusev, and how Lana will leave Lashley for another son of a b***. Lashley chokeslams him. Bobby Lashley’s 1st wife then comes to object. Lana sucker punches her.
Liv Morgan comes out to say that she and Lana had something special and she should not marry Lashley. They then have a pure fist brawl as the refs attempt to break it up. Rusev then comes out of the birthday cake to attack Lashley. Morgan gets back into the ring and slams Lana’s face into the wedding cake.
Result: Raw’s ratings plummet
Grade: 2.5/5.0 Stars
Analysis: The priest was the best character in this entire wedding. Kinda disappointed that Liv Morgan got relegated to this terrible storyline, but at least she was in the main event of Monday Night Raw.
