"I'll be the next person holding two titles on my shoulder" - Former WWE Champion thinks Drew McIntyre will give him a title shot after defeating Roman Reigns
Current WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley believes Drew McIntyre will give him a title shot after he defeats Roman Reigns at Clash at The Castle event.
Bobby Lashley has had a successful run ever since he returned to the company in April 2018. After winning multiple championships, Lashley wants more gold around his waist and shoulders.
Speaking on WWE BT Sport, the 46-year-old superstar thinks McIntyre will beat Reigns for the titles at Clash at The Castle:
"Drew has that match with Sheamus in SmackDown. If he wins that one, he's next in line for the title. So I'm pulling for Drew all the way because if he wins that match and goes to Clash at The Castle. If he wins that one, I'm sure, being the man he is, he's gonna give me another opportunity at that title. So hopefully I'll be the next person holding two titles on my shoulder," said Lashley. (From 1:12 to 1:32)
"Drew is one of my favourite people in the wrestling business, if you want to talk about someone representing the company - he's that guy."
"Everything about him is champion status."
After everything, nothing but respect between @fightbobby and @DMcIntyreWWE 🤝
