WWE Elimination Chamber 2019: 5 Possible Finishes for Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush vs Finn Balor
Bobby Lashley defends the Intercontinental Championship against Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber on Sunday night, but he will have the added comfort of knowing that Lio Rush is also in his corner for the match.
In recent weeks, Lio Rush and Balor have had an interesting feud on Raw and it's highly likely that Lashley will allow Rush to battle Balor throughout the match whilst he watches on from ringside and only steps in if Balor looks like he could pick up the victory.
Of course, the issue with handicap Championship matches is that the Champion doesn't have to be pinned, so if Balor is able to take Lashley out of the fight and pin Lio Rush then there could be some dissension in the ranks between the two men who have been on the same page over the past few months.
This is the way The Authors of Pain lost their Championship on Raw when Drake Maverick was pinned instead of any of the current Tag Team Champions so it's highly unlikely that WWE would allow the same thing to happen in the space of a few months.
#5. Bobby Lashley retains the Intercontinental Championship
Bobby Lashley has held the Intercontinental Championship ever since he was able to defeat Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins on Monday Night Raw ahead of The Royal Rumble and Lio Rush has helped to ensure that The Almighty continues to reign supreme.
This Sunday the odds are stacked against Finn Balor, much like they were when Balor faced Brock Lesnar back at The Royal Rumble where The Demon King was able to put in an impressive showing.
The odds here should state that Lashley and Lio Rush come out on top since they have the advantage, so it will be interesting to see if Lashley is able to scrape past Balor one more time.
