#2 Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash

The final two matches at WrestleMania Backlash truly elevated this event. First off was this colossal car crash between three of WWE's most powerful heavyweight stars. Bobby Lashley defended his WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman, with all three men destroying each other.

The spots in this match ranged from impressive to unbelievable. Lashley and McIntyre lifted Strowman for a double vertical suplex before The Monster Among Men came back with a dive off the apron. The match got increasingly violent, with the breaking point coming on the WrestleMania Backlash stage.

Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre fought their way to the stage, with The Scottish Terminator throwing the WWE Champion through a part of it. This set off an explosion, seemingly taking Lashley out of the match. The subsequent combat sequence between McIntyre and Braun Strowman was incredible.

The Scotsman hit his larger opponent with a Michinoku Driver and a belly-to-belly suplex, before being taken out with a massive powerbomb through the announce table. McIntyre eventually managed to land a Claymore Kick on Strowman but was thwarted by a returning Lashley.

The All-Mighty WWE Champion sent him out of the ring and proceeded to spear Strowman to pick up the victory. This match exceeded expectations, delivering some high-quality powerhouse action. All three men brought it at WrestleMania Backlash and are better off following this incredible contest.
