Big E cashes in on Bobby Lashley to win WWE Championship
Lashley successfully defended his WWE Championship against Orton in the main event. He then continued to beat up the Viper putting him through a table. In doing so however, Lashley appeared to have tweaked his knee.
Big E then came out to a huge roar from the Boston crowd but Lashley did not want to defend his title due to his injured knee. Regardless, the bell rung and Big E took out the Almighty’s knee before following it up with a Big Ending. However, Lashley managed to break free and hit a spear on Big E for a two count.
The challenger finally managed to land the Big Ending on the behemoth in front of him to win his first WWE Championship.
Lashley’s run with the WWE Championship started on the March 1 edition of RAW. He held the prestigious title for 195 days for a solid run that included wins over former WWE Champions Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston as well as a dominant victory over WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg but the era of Big E has now officially begun.
