If they wanted him to get cheered, they should have immediately brought him in as the guy out to forcibly remove Roman from another title shot. (And if they didn't want that, they should have left Joe on Raw in that spot.)

This is one of those times they bring a dude in who was over in another company, take away all that got him over and then eventually let him bring back the gimmick/personality that got him over because he is no longer over and they got nothin’
Sort of like what happened with Matt Hardy but without the legal stuff.

Yet another guy the WWE signed just because it could, with no thought to how they'd use him. Dude is just as boring as he was last time around. Yep, we're getting around to the downside of Hunter's ever expanding toybox. Preeeetty much. Lashley in his current form has no reason to exist right now. The roster is gigantic as it is, there's no need for an even blander version of Roman Reigns to stumble around in the midcard.

Lashley is paying is dues right now, once that is over he will get the proper push.

He's like Del Rio. (besides being a real life asshole) Has skills, but for whatever reason, isn't all that compelling in WWE.

He's probably going to turn heel.
Had he been brought in as one... who would you have even gotten him heat off of? What would his character justification be? Dude has never been really any good at promos, so that wouldn't do it. Be big and strong? He's not really exceptionally impressive in a much bigger, deeper pond than TNA was for him.
He needs a hype man pretty badly.

Matt Hardy is a different deal than Lashley. The entire reason WWE was interested in bringing him back was to do the wacky Broken gimmick, but the legal woes tied it up for a long while. The problem with Lashley right now is that he's not being used to his strengths at all and fans have been given zero reason to care about him.
Besides, Hardy's place on the card is basically where it always has been in WWE, just with a wacky gimmick. He was mostly a tag guy or singles midcarder, and that's where he is.

I have always been a huge fan of Lashley and I am sure he will do fine. I have no doubt that creative is toying with many ideas for him. Right now he is getting back to being comfortable with the WWE style of business. There is big money in him.

Honestly I'm taking a 'wait and see' approach with Bobby. He has talent in-ring, and they are at least attempting to give him motivation (Bobby's sisters) that bleeds into the RAW weekly storyline-- I'm kinda hyped to see how Sami Zayn is going to handle the situation with the Lashley family next RAW it might have the potential to steal the show and might be Bobby's biggest angle since his ppv matches with Donald Trump against Vince McMahon.
The problem most Superstars who aren't getting over have is that they're just plopped into RAW or SDLive as pure athletes without any motivation or backstory for people to care about them winning or losing. This has always been Bobby's problem, but with his sisters being a wildcard things might change starting next week for him.

That is why when they say Vince is a genius....
I mean he knows how to promote his company. He is the last of the majors left standing.
But really that's all I can say as far as compliments.
