The trilogy bout between Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre is now official for the upcoming Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event.
On last Monday’s episode of Raw, the opening segment saw McIntyre interrupt Lashley’s promo where he addressed losing to Kofi Kingston last week thanks to a distraction from McIntyre.
This segment eventually led to McIntyre talking about how he wants another shot at Lashley to reclaim the WWE Title. Kingston made his way out and talked about why he should get it instead while bringing up his win over Lashley.
WWE authority figure Adam Pearce came out to booked McIntrye vs. Kingston in the first match of the night with the winner getting Lashley with the WWE Title on the line at Hell in a Cell.
The match ended in a no contest finish when Lashley got involved. McIntyre cleared the ring. Thus, they booked a rematch between Kingston and McIntyre one week later.
McIntyre ended up winning the bout with the Claymore Kick and will now face Lashley for the third time. Lashley successfully retained the WWE Title over McIntyre at WrestleMania 37 and at WrestleMania Backlash.
WWE presents the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event on Sunday, June 20, 2021 from Tampa, Florida at Yuengling Center that will air on Peacock.
