The relentless attack continued even after the match to deliver a message to Braun Strowman. In case you don’t know, Strowman and Lashley will collide in a Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules.

Speculations were running rampant on this return on WWE Raw predicting what WWE could be in-store for him upon the comeback. He could be continuing the canceled Dominic angle from Money in the Bank or else go right away into the United States Championship picture. He has never lost the title but had to vacate it rather due to the suffered legit injury. But, WWE rather chose for a squash match against Bobby Lashley who is all set to dominate Extreme Rules.
