In hindsight, you might have been better off just giving the briefcase to Lashley last year and built him up for the Drew match at Mania then. Otis looks like a complete dork now and Miz looks an incompetent buffoon who got lucky. Otis was the deserving winner of the case at the time In a perfect world, pandemic would been over and fans would been back and he would have had momentum. Lashley didn't need it last year and the path he took ended up being the best one because like Keith Lee in NXT, he was dominating people while the main champion Adam Cole was also putting away challengers

Miz was like Bobby in that King of the Hill episode where he becomes the school mascot, then learns that the mascot gets a beating by the rival team and gets scared and runs away from the beating, embarrassing everyone. He then learns he's gotta just toughen up to take the beating. (Well OK I don't know if Miz necessarily learned that last part the same way as Bobby but still) Miz next week: "That's my title! I don't know you!" -kicks Lashley in the balls-

I think it's long overdue for Lashley, but it feels a bit sudden.
But I want Lashley to have a long run as a monster champion. Have him wreck any fool who dares to cross him. If Drew is his opponent at Mania, I want Lashley to plow right through him. I just have no idea where you go from there as there's slim pickings of main event babyfaces on Raw.
A returning Keith Lee? Brawn? Orton? Drew again?

I was wondering the same thing so I dug back into my memory bank of “why did I retain this and not anything actually useful”, and I think I remember him doing his outside the ring ring post attack and he stumbled before he could hit it properly and his face got squashed between whoever was on his shoulders and the ring post. Against Keith Lee, I think. — Yup, found it. 1:37 for when it happened, then the finish is all black & white because blood.

So Lashley is the third Black WWE champ after Rock and Kofi. Was there a black World Heavyweight champ besides Booker? Mark Henry. He said he wants to wrestle again. So maybe Henry has a shot to win the WWE title this time?

I know this is Lashley's moment and all, but I just want to give a big kudos to The Miz for doing the work that very few want to do in being put in a transitional spot like that. He put so much effort into making Lashley look like a star and getting squashed like that, his heat (whether it be legitimate or go-away to some) helped amplify the moment for what it was. I'd go as far as to say that The Miz is one of the most unselfish performers on the roster. You never hear him complain about his spot on the roster, has no shame in looking like a goober both in and out of the ring, and has been a perfect foil to so many guys for well over 16 years now. The moment is definitely all for Lashley, but I'd love to be the fly on the wall for the exchange between those two guys behind the curtain after the title exchange was done. Miz gets so much mockery for being weak or shitty but he just does shit like this, lives his dream and makes a shitload of money. No wonder he loves people hating him.
