The decision to turn Bobby Lashley heel on Raw this Monday was just decided that day, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
With WWE learning that they were losing one of their top heels in Kevin Owens to a knee injury, there was a long discussion about turning Lashley heel or keeping him face. Ultimately, they decided that he would be better off as a heel right now, especially since they needed heels on the roster.
The decision was also made to do the turn right away, since Kevin Owens needed to be written off of TV with an injury that night anyway.

Lio Rush also had an ear piece at ringside during the Lashley vs. Owens match and was being fed lines directly by Vince McMahon, according to the Observer.
Rush was yelling things at Owens and cheering on Lashley and each line was being fed to him by McMahon.
