With Lio Rush and Kevin Owens watching from the commentary table, Bobby Lashley takes on Elias ahead of their tag team battle at WWE Super Show-Down.

Lio Rush has been Bobby Lashley’s manager for all of five seconds, but he might have just entered himself into the managerial pantheon: Not only did 205 Live’s “Man of the Hour” give Lashley a big-time intro by interrupting Elias, he proved to be instrumental in helping to turn away Kevin Owens, who still has contractual carte blanche and sinister designs on punishing Lashley.

What KO didn’t account for was Rush, who leapt clean over the former Universal Champion from his perch at commentary and led him on a chase down the ramp. The 23-Year-Old Piece of Gold nailed Elias with an enziguiri when The Living Truth tried to ensnare him, handing Lashley a disqualification loss. But Rush made it up to his client when he allowed Lashley to use him as a projectile: The former ECW Champion scooped Rush up and gorilla-pressed him over the top rope and onto Owens and Elias. The DQ barely even registered: Like the old saying goes, this is the start of a beautiful friendship.
