Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley have fought before, at Backlash 2020, which was a real slugfest. And based on how Elimination Chamber played out, in all likelihood, they will fight again.

The truth is that even if the plans involve Drew McIntyre and The Miz at WrestleMania, it still means that the former Champ needs an opponent at Fastlane. Who better than Bobby Lashley, who lost the WWE United States Championship, but did not get pinned during the show?

Maybe Drew McIntyre has to go through Bobby Lashley at Fastlane to get a shot at The Miz at WrestleMania later this year. It will be a battle of the behemoths.

Many have felt, time and again, that Fastlane is a pretty useless pay-per-view, as the matches and programs are set in stone every single year. Having a match with stakes such as these contributes a bit of weight to Fastlane.

Can you imagine Drew McIntyre facing anyone else at the pay-per-view, at this stage?
