WWE Raw results, recap, grades: Bobby Lashley overcomes Miz shenanigans to win first WWE championship - CBSSports.com

The build to WWE Raw for a full week had centered around Bobby Lashley challenging The Miz for the WWE championship.

While it took three tries to actually get the match off the ground, The Miz was simply no match for the ferocity and power of the challenger as Lashley captured his first WWE world championship in the night's main event.

He said that whoever won between Miz and Bobby Lashley later in the night would have a huge target on their back.

WWE Championship -- Bobby Lashley def.

WWE Championship -- Bobby Lashley def!

Before the main event, McMahon made the bout a lumberjack match!

Miz tried to hit Lashley with the championship belt after the bell rang, trying to force a disqualification, but Lashley intercepted the blow!

Lashley dominated Miz before locking in the Hurt Lock to force the submission and win the championship.
