But Drew McIntyre finally got his main event status back earlier last year when he won the WWE championship for the first time in his WWE career. He defeated the two times WWE World champion The Miz to win the WWE championship for the first time in his WWE career.
He had been a dominant champion since. He kept on retaining the championship for five months before dropping it to Big E. After dropping the title he went through a bad time as he jobbed to Big E and Goldberg. But he was given back his main event status once again.
He came back with a bang, he defeated Seth Rollins Kevin Owens and Big E in one single right which we stored his dominance on the main event status of Monday Night RAW. He challenged for the WWE championship at the Day 1 pay per view event in a fatal 5 way match along with three other opponents when the champion was Big E. In this case Brock Lesnar won the match and won the title.
Bobby Lashley earned the right to, challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE championship at the Royal Rumble pay per view event which took place recently. Surprisingly he defeated Brock Lesnar to win his second WWE Championship. Even though it was not a clean victory. At the Elimination Chamber pay per view event he will defend his Championship inside Elimination Chamber. Recently, he is involved in a feud with Omos.
Drew McIntyre who is also a former two times WWE Tag Team Champion recently spoke to CBS Sports where he remembered Bobby Lashley falling out of ring at WWE Newcastle event and talked about it. He said;
“For me, it was very quick yet very slow at the same time,” McIntyre said. “When trouble happens, things seem to slow down for me and I’m very aware of what’s going on. I knew when I hit the ropes, something went wrong. I was able to catch myself very quickly and was watching straight ahead and saw how Lashley went over. So, the rope broke as I connected. He was a split second behind me. He had no rope.
“He went into what should have been the top rope and he continued head over heels at the speed he was going. Thankfully, I could see how he landed. He went head over heels. Those giant traps hit the ring apron. His head didn’t connect with the ring apron, thankfully. He flipped himself right around onto the mat outside. I could see he was probably going to be OK. Knowing him, he’d be OK.
“A guy who just likes to roll around and fight during the day and take unnecessary falls during the day. I always say, ‘There are no cameras watching right now. Why are you doing this to yourself?’ But he enjoys the physicality. I could see he landed safely and knowing him, I know he’d be okay. And thankfully he was okay. In those situations, you can only hope for the best-case scenario. Accidents do happen.”
