Team Raw got a new member for the Survivor Series PPV on tonight’s episode of WWE Raw. This time it was Rey Mysterio who got replaced following his loss in the main event of tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw.
The person responsible for this change is, once again, Bobby Lashley. Last week, we saw Dominik Mysterio lose his place from Team Raw after Lashley defeated him in a match. This time, Rey had to pay a similar price for challenging ‘The Almighty.’
After the match ended, Adam Pearce came out to make an announcement. He announced for the well-being of Team Raw and for the well-being of Rey, he had no choice other than to remove him with a replacement that will be announced later.

But Pearce did not make the WWE universe wait much. Following the announcement, Austin Theory came out of nowhere and hit Dominik with the ATL.
Following this incident, Adam Pearce came out once again. He revealed he was impressed with Theory’s style and thus replaced Rey Mysterio with him.

Bobby Lashley defeated Rey Mysterio to continue his dominance on Monday Night Raw
Bobby Lashley returned to Monday Night Raw last week after suffering a defeat at the Crown Jewel PPV. Following his return last week, he got himself a place on Team Raw for the WWE Survivor Series PPV at the expense of Dominik Mysterio.
Tonight, he took on Dominik’s father, Rey Mysterio, in the main event of tonight’s episode of Raw. Even though Rey produced a late comeback in the match by hitting a 619 on Lashley, The Almighty proved too strong for the former WWE Champion.

Bobby Lashley showed his incredible strength by lifting Rey Mysterio from a pinfall position and putting him into the Hurt Lock. Rey had no other than to tap out, giving Lashley another dominant victory.
But the night got worse for Rey Mysterio when Adam Pearce replaced him with Austin Theory for the Survivor Series PPV.
