5 reasons why Bobby Lashley should retain the WWE Championship at Hell in a Cell

#2 Drew McIntyre should move out of the WWE Championship picture soon

Drew McIntyre is a two-time WWE Champion.

If Bobby Lashley retains the WWE Championship, Drew McIntyre would have to leave the title picture for the time being, which is a bonus in the long run.

The Scottish Warrior has been involved in the world championship scenario since winning the 2020 Royal Rumble match. During these 15+ months, his first reign with the WWE title was much better, having lasted an astonishing 203 days.

However, his second reign seemed slightly lackluster due to a shortage of solid opponents. Vince McMahon had to reportedly bring Goldberg back for a program with McIntyre as there weren't many credible stars left to challenge the champion.

Moreover, as talented as he is, the two-time WWE Champion shouldn't remain in the title picture forever. His program with Bobby Lashley may become quite repetitive if it doesn't end at Hell in a Cell.

Live crowds are set to return next month, and they could turn on McIntyre if he wins the title, only to have another set of rematches with Bobby Lashley. The same happened to Seth Rollins when he dominated the Universal Championship picture two years ago. Even John Cena and Roman Reigns were extremely polarizing as babyface mainstays in the world title scene.

The Scottish Warrior needs to separate himself from the WWE Championship for a while by losing to Bobby Lashley a few days from now. An intriguing program with Jinder Mahal is waiting for McIntyre, and with the history these two friends share, it could pay dividends for both of them in the long run.
