Twitter reacts to bizarre update on Dexter Lumis' WWE status
Members of the WWE Universe have taken to social media to react to Dexter Lumis earning a WWE contract.
Since making his return to WWE in August, Lumis has been stalking The Miz, making his life uncomfortable in various ways. He was then given a chance to defeat Miz to earn a WWE contract, but was attacked and taken out by The A-Lister prior. Johnny Gargano later revealed that Miz had reneged on paying Lumis to attack him for publicity.
On the latest edition of Monday Night RAW, Dexter Lumis and The Miz met in a bizarre hardcore-style matchup, again with a WWE contract on the line. The match involved some odd weapon choices and an announcers table spot, and concluded with Dexter and Johnny Gargano handing out hundred-dollar bills to the crowd.
The former NXT standout was able to emerge from the match victorious and as the newest WWE RAW Superstar. Now, the WWE Universe has taken to Twitter to react to the news.

When did Dexter Lumis last compete in the WWE?
Though he was in action against The Miz on last night's WWE RAW, this was Lumis' first match since making his return.
Prior to this, his last match was on NXT during its 2.0 era where he teamed with Duke Hudson to challenge Pretty Deadly for the NXT Tag Team Championships. Kit Wilson and Elton Prince were able to best the unlikely combo, and Lumis would be released just days later.
Lumis would briefly compete under his old title of Samuel Shaw for the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) in his time away.
