Hell in a Cell: Reasons Bobby Lashley beat Drew McIntyre

#3. Bobby Lashley could be waiting for Braun Strowman to return following his victory at Hell in a Cell

Bobby Lashley picked up a surprise victory over Drew McIntyre at Hell in a Cell last night, but it could be argued that there was another man who should have been in that match.

Braun Strowman was released from his WWE contract last month in one of the biggest surprises of 2021. Ahead of his release, Strowman was a prominent figure in the WWE Championship picture and it's hard to imagine that WWE would let him go and help boost their competition ranks.

Strowman has a 90-day non-compete clause and WWE could convince him to make his return in that time. It would be quite the swerve if WWE hadn't actually released Strowman had instead been lined up as Lashley's next opponent heading into Money in the Bank.

In order for this feud to take place, Lashley would have had to overcome the threat of Drew McIntyre at Hell in a Cell and prove he was ready for the challenge of The Monster Among Men.
