Meet the new WWE champion.

Bobby Lashley finally got his hands on the WWE title after defeating The Miz in a Lumberjack match to close out WWE Raw, OnyxNews Nigeria reports.

Bobby Lashley secured the WWE title after placing the Hurt Lock on The A-Lister.

The pair were originally supposed to fight at the end of Raw’s first hour, but The Miz complained of stomach cramps backstage. Adam Pearce informed him he would instead be wrestling at 10 p.m. ET as Lashley went backstage to confront The Miz himself.

Unable to duck Lashley any longer, the champion decided discretion was the better part of valor. As soon as the opening bell rang, he exited the ring, grabbed the title and ran away as the referee counted to 10. Lashley was left stewing in the ring, unable to do anything to alter the outcome.

How Bobby Lashley Won The Miz:

With the Hurt Lock to win the title. 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. Miz then tried to run from the ring but was thrown back in by the lumberjacks. Lashley dominated Miz before locking in the Hurt Lock to force the submission and win the championship.
