The Almighty was furious after the loss and decided to take his frustrations on the officials.

Lashley went physical on the WWE referees and he even shoved WWE official Adam Pearce onto the barricade which led to him firing Lashley on the spot.

Pearce had already given a warning to the former US Champion after he accidentally speared WWE official Petey Williams on last week's Raw.

It looks like Bobby Lashley is being written off TV for a while by the firing angle as there are rumors that he's filming a reality TV show outside of the WWE.

Seth Rollins will now be challenging Austin Theory for the United States championship in the future and it'll be interesting to see who will walk away with the title.
