In the opening bout of tonight's WWE Payback pay-per-view, Bobby Lashley defeated Apollo Crews with the Full Lashley (Full Nelson) submission hold to capture the WWE United States Championship.

This is Lashley's second U.S. Title win, as he previously held the championship as a member of the SmackDown roster back in 2006.
