WWE Champion Bobby Lashley fought Braun Strowman in a non-title main event during this week's RAW. Keep in mind that Strowman only entered the top title scenario at WrestleMania Backlash because of some shenanigans, which indirectly affected Drew McIntyre's stint to some extent.

As a result, The Scottish Warrior influenced the outcome of the main event this time around. A distraction from McIntyre allowed Lashley to win the match. But after the contest was over, McIntyre Claymore kicked Lashley and Strowman to stand tall at the end of the episode.

On next week's RAW, the WWE Champion will collide against his WrestleMania opponent — Drew McIntyre. A rematch between these two rivals is surely a significant encounter. The only way it could lose that importance is if anyone decides to interfere in some form.

WWE doesn't usually take risks when it comes to portraying a clear winner from a major feud a few days before the pay-per-view. As a result, stars like MVP, Braun Strowman, Mace and T-Bar could get involved in McIntyre and Lashley's clash six days before WWE WrestleMania Backlash.

In your opinion, what will be the outcome of Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre next week? Sound off in the comments section below.
