#6 WWE Champion Bobby Lashley’s Hell In A Cell challenger reportedly revealed

Could the feud between Lashley and McIntyre finally end inside Hell In A Cell?

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley successfully defended his title against Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman at WrestleMania Backlash. Following that, MVP stated that McIntyre and Strowman should go to the back of the line on RAW if they want another shot. However, it appears that may not be the case after all.

The latest backstage reports claim that Bobby Lashley will face Drew McIntyre at the upcoming WWE pay-per-view, Hell In A Cell. The creative team reportedly have big plans for this match. This decision was seemingly taken because there is not enough time to build up an intense feud, and this is the only storyline that is ready to deliver a memorable Hell In A Cell match.

Both of these RAW Superstars have been feuding since February when Lashley helped The Miz dethrone McIntyre as the WWE Champion. Bobby Lashley would eventually go on to win the title and mark the beginning of an "All-Mighty Era" on the Red brand.

However, McIntyre still looks determined to reclaim the world title. He emerged as one of the best performers at WrestleMania Backlash when he was inches away from winning the WWE Championship again.
