Bengaluru, February 23: The Miz kicked off the 'era of awesomeness' on WWE Monday Night Raw following his title win at Elimination Chamber but the reign already looks to be in jeopardy.
None other than the All-Mighty is coming after his title and has been massively protected over the past six months. WWE has confirmed that the mammoth Bobby Lashley will challenge The Miz for the WWE Title on next week’s edition of RAW.
This week’s episode opened with Lashley and MVP confront The Miz to give him an ultimatum for a title shot. (It is reasonable as Lashley helped The Miz cash in his Money in the Bank contract against Drew McIntyre at WWE Elimination Chamber) Miz didn’t refuse the title shot, but he needed more time.

However, Lashley pinned Strowman with ease after a Spear and a Spinebuster. Thus, Strowman was excluded from the title picture as the fresh match-up between Lashley and The Miz was booked for next Monday Night.
There is no confirmation on what WWE has planned for Lashley and The Miz, but things may not go in favor of the current champion. It was reported via Wrestlevotes, that the Hollywood A-Lister is not currently planned for the WWE Title match at WrestleMania 37, but Lashley is. Hence, a title change could take place, next week.
