#3 Paul Heyman is planning a title run for Bobby Lashley

How cute, you bought a replica, about as close as you'll be getting to the title. Seth's side plates as well, your fate will be the same as his. "The Chosen One" was 11-years-ago, since then I've been released, came back, & became Champion. The fans chose me. What have you done? https://t.co/EfAPO6jUbI

Bobby Lashley is all set to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at Backlash. The All Mighty will finally get a chance to win the big belt in WWE. While it is being believed that Drew McIntyre will most likely retain at the show, there is a chance that Lashley might pull an upset.

The Observer reported that the reason why MVP was added as a manager for Lashley was that Paul Heyman wanted a mouthpiece for Bobby Lashley for a title run. Now, while this may not necessarily mean that Lashley will defeat McIntyre at Backlash, there is a strong chance that we will see The Almighty as the WWE Champion soon.

The situation with MVP as a producer/talent is this- he was brought back for the Rumble, then to put over Mysterio on TV the next night and then to get a tryout for a producer role. Heyman then wanted him as Lashley’s mouthpiece for a title run. He was working as a producer and also did some announcing on Main Event.
