bro Twitter is wild

Bro this booking of Lumis on Raw too

 

[Shane]

Lumis kidnapping Miz was still just fucking hilarious.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

I wouldn't mind if they booked Lumis as the protective brother for Theory down the line but also if Theory goes to cash and Lumis chokes him out I think it will be a good story either way. Lumis has to be one of the most incredible acts to me he doesn't have to say a word and can tell a story with his mannerisms.

 

[Stellar]

Wild that we got Ciampa, Lumis , Gargano and Theory all within minutes on RAW. Next week I want to see Johnny Gargano in the parking lot arriving to RAW while he sees Dexter Lumis driving off in a car with Miz still kidnapped and Gargano says "Nice to see you again Dexter!"
