Bobby Lashley is the new United States Champion after picking up a win over Apollo Crew at Payback.

After several failed attempts by MVP to take the title away from Crews, the muscle of the Hurt Business stepped up to the challenge and got the job done. Although Crews put up a hell of a fight and scored a couple of near falls, the power of the Almighty One proved to be too much to handle and he ultimately fell victim to the Full Lashley, tapping out in the middle of the ring.

Afterwards, The Hurt Business posted for some photos in the ring (we got a nice "Wakanda forever" tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman) and Crews jumped Lashley from behind in very heelish fashion.

There's speculation that this whole thing will ultimately end with Apollo joining the faction he's been feuding with for the past couple of months, and while that may seem unlikely right now, it might simply come down to a "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" type situation.
