The WWE Championship will be on the line at WWE Backlash as Drew McIntyre will defend his title against Bobby Lashley who has gathered an incredible amount of momentum. Now, as much as the All-Mighty has impressed in the last few weeks, the chances of him walking out with the WWE title around his waist this Sunday are low.

One of the biggest talking points recently has been the reported return of Brock Lesnar to WWE for this year's SummerSlam and a potential dream encounter with Bobby Lashley. But WWE needs to be very careful while booking this, as putting the title on Lashley at Backlash and putting the Beast Incarnate back in the title picture might not go well with the fans. There are many other interesting ways in which WWE can book this feud.

News broke out recently that Paul Heyman has been released from his duties as the Executive Director of Monday Night RAW and WWE wants him to focus on his on-screen character. What if Heyman appears at Backlash this Sunday after Lashley loses the WWE title match and offers to manage him instead of MVP?

Lashley could then deny him while taking a jab at Brock Lesnar, which would set up a future encounter between the two.

One more week. Your story was fun @DMcIntyreWWE, but that’s all it is: A story. My prophecy has been written for YEARS. I am the TRUE “Chosen One”. Time to dominate. #WWEBacklash #AndNew pic.twitter.com/1TYFVAghZT
