Bengaluru, March 3: Things have become more interesting on WWE Monday Night Raw en route to Wrestlemania 37 over the past couple of weeks. Back in Elimination Chamber, Drew McIntyre lost the WWE Championship via The Miz’s Money in the Bank contract cash-in.
Just eight days later, on the main event of this week’s Raw, Bobby Lashley forced The Miz to tap out to the Full Nelson (Hurt Lock) to win the title for the first time ever in his WWE career.
With Wrestlemania 37 less than six weeks away, it’s pretty much certain that Bobby Lashley will head to the show as the WWE Champion, something all elite superstars dream of doing at least once in their career. In this instance, the veteran is destined to put over the current flag-bearer of Raw, Drew McIntyre in a big way, as reported earlier.
Now, reports state that the Scottish Warrior is confirmed to be booked in the WWE Championship match at Wrestlemania 37, and is one final step away to make it official. At FastLane 2021, Drew McIntyre will compete against The Miz in what appears to be a number-one contender’s match for the most prestigious title in WWE history.
The winner of that match will challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Title at the Biggest Event of the Year. The outcome for both these matches is pretty obvious and should go in favor of drew McIntyre.
As for the champion, he may not compete at FastLane just to keep his protected status intact. Even if WWE schedules him in a defense on the March 21st event, it would be against a mid-carder to showcase his ruthless dominance.
