5 Reasons why Bobby Lashley should become the WWE Champion at Backlash

#4 A shock win for Bobby Lashley could change things around on RAW

The All Mighty could turn the brand upside down

WWE RAW saw a big change take place after WrestleMania 36 where Drew McIntyre conquered ‘The Beast’ Brock Lesnar to become the WWE Champion.

While fans were expecting McIntyre to clinch a victory at the event following his performance in the 2020 Royal Rumble, they were still thrilled to watch the match and see how The Scottish Psychopath defeated The Beast.

Even though McIntyre’s victory was big, it wasn’t unexpected. At WWE Backlash too, most fans are expecting to watch McIntyre dominate Bobby Lashley and retain his WWE Championship at the event.

While that would be great to watch, what could help WWE spike up the ratings will be a shock decision. There are currently only two matches on the card where the fans are expecting the booking to be straightforward - one for the WWE Championship and the other for the Universal Championship.

A big change on WWE RAW could give fans some unexpected storylines

WWE is unlikely to crown two individuals (Miz & Morrison) as the Universal Champion at Backlash, and therefore the chance of a surprise booking is higher for the WWE Championship.

If The All-Mighty goes on to become the WWE Champion at Backlash, the shock-value of the result itself will allow WWE to instantly start trending all over the internet and shake up the entire RAW division, allowing the fans to prepare for the unexpected following the event.
