Last week on WWE RAW, Bobby Lashley came out looking satisfied after his dominant victory over Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre. The All-Mighty celebrated his big victory before MVP issued an open challenge on Lashley’s behalf.

After MVP clarified that McIntyre and Strowman were not allowed to answer the open challenge, several RAW superstars made their intentions clear to challenge Lashley. However, it was Kofi Kingston from The New Day who walked out at the end of the night to face The All-Mighty.

After a good match, McIntyre came in to prevent MVP from interfering in the contest. He then blasted Lashley with MVP’s cane and helped Kingston pick up a huge victory.

This storyline is likely to continue this, with Kingston making his case for a potential WWE Championship shot. Kingston could talk about his previous reign as WWE Champion before challenging Lashley to a match at Hell in a Cell.

Lashley needs to move away from McIntyre for some time, and Kingston could prove to be the perfect opponent for him. Therefore, WWE must give Kingston a chance to take on Lashley at the upcoming pay-per-view.
