Kofi Kingston will challenge WWE Champion Bobby Lashley for the title at WWE Money In The Bank 2021.
As seen on this week’s Raw, The New Day interrupted Lashley’s championship win celebration over Drew McIntyre at Hell In A Cell 2021. Kofi Kingston showed footage where he pinned Lashley a few weeks ago and then demanded a WWE Championship match at Money In The Bank 2021 PPV.
Lashley gladly accepted the challenge, but then the match was converted into a Hell in a Cell match. It appeared that if Kofi had to get the Title match, then his tag team partner Xavier Woods must face Lashley in a Hell in a Cell match on RAW. During this main event, Lashley picked up a dominant win over Woods to send a message to Kofi.
WWE has also announced a rematch from Hell In a Cell rematch for Money In the Bank 2021 pay-per-view. During this week’s RAW, Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville noted that Charlotte Flair will challenge RAW Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley at the pay-per-view, again in a singles contest. Flair challenged Ripley at Hell In a Cell but Ripley intentionally got herself disqualified to retain her belt.
