These are two WWE rivalries we had witnessed elsewhere

#3 Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley was a force to be reckoned with during his first WWE stint, but he never managed to win the big one. The same story followed with Drew McIntyre, who was used as an enhancement talent during the final years of his first WWE run.

Lashley and WWE parted ways in 2008, while McIntyre was released in 2014. The duo got into a feud on Impact Wrestling, which ended with a World title match at the Slammiversary 2016 PPV. Lashley defeated McIntyre to win his third Impact World title.

McIntyre and Lashley both went on to sign with WWE again. Both men joined forces as heels on WWE RAW for a while, back in 2018-19. At WrestleMania 36, McIntyre defeated Brock Lesnar to win the WWE title for the first time in his career. McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins to retain his title at Money In The Bank. He went on to kick start a feud with Lashley, and the two behemoths are set to compete for the WWE title at Backlash on 14th June.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
