#2 Bobby Lashley to defeat Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship

Earlier this month, we saw WWE Champion Drew McIntyre defend his title against Bobby Lashley at WWE Backlash. Speculation started doing rounds that Lashley might walk out as the new WWE Champion after his feud with the Scottish Psychopath.

There is a large amount of speculation at the moment that Bobby Lashley may be coming out of his feud with Drew McIntyre as the new WWE Champion. This is something that I won't be totally against seeing. Drew McIntyre as a face is very good chasing a Championship. Also, he has defeated a lot of the RAW roster. The Brand vs. Brand invitational may be essential just to keep him with opponents for a while, and that's probably one of the reasons why we've seen Baron Corbin so far really use it in the men's division.

But this rumor didn't come true as Drew McIntyre defeated Bobby Lashley at WWE Backlash, even though the latter gave him a tough fight. The feud also looks to be done as the WWE Champion is set to defend his title against Dolph Ziggler at WWE Extreme Rules, while Lashley will likely be challenging for the US title, currently held by Apollo Crews.
