Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre share a long history. The two men were part of a dominant faction in 2018 alongside Baron Corbin. They terrorized the RAW roster for months before going their separate ways in April 2019.
When they met again in 2020, they were no longer friends but enemies. The two faced each other at Backlash 2020, where McIntyre barely survived Lashley's onslaught. The Almighty proved to be a perfect match for Drew's strength and forced him to step up his game.
Eight months later, Lashley became the reason for McIntyre's WWE title loss. After taking the WWE Championship off The Miz, Lashley fought Drew at WrestleMania 37. It was a highly-intense contest, where both competitors gave their everything to win. In the end, the champion managed to retain his title, thanks to the distraction caused by MVP.
Both men feuded for a few more months, with Lashley coming out on top every time. It's safe to say that Bobby Lashley was one of the toughest opponents Drew ever faced as he rarely succeeded in defeating The Almighty.
