#2. He won't have a lengthy reign: Bobby Lashley might be set up to give Drew McIntyre a moment in front of a live crowd

Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre seems to be the most-likely WWE title match for WrestleMania 37. There's no doubt that Drew McIntyre has been WWE's best Superstar in the pandemic era. One of the most unfortunate things is that McIntyre never got his coronating moment in front of a live audience.

Instead, it had to happen within the confines of the WWE Performance Center and the ThunderDome - both behind closed doors. Lashley's title win was great, but in the eyes of WWE, Drew McIntyre might still be the babyface that they will go with throughout 2021.

To do this, WWE made sure that the MITB problem with The Miz was finished and Bobby Lashley was involved - leading to his WWE Title win eight days later. Even Lashley's reign as the World Champion could be cut short so that McIntyre gets a deserving coronation at WrestleMania in front of a live audience.
