Two more segments for this upcoming episode of WWE RAW on the USA Network have been confirmed revolving around the prime championship scenarios. WWE Champion Bobby Lashley has been announced to make his presence felt on the show as he is set to address the change to his next title defense at WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view on May 16.
Bobby Lashley was originally supposed to face Drew McIntyre in a one-on-one contest for the WWE Title at the upcoming PPV as the latter secured the number-one contender’s spot by winning a Triple Threat on the post-WrestleMania episode of WWE Raw. This would have been a rematch from WrestleMania where Lashley defeated McIntyre via the Hurt Lock submission hold.

Then this past episode of WWE RAW saw Braun Strowman defeat Drew McIntyre in the main event to get himself included in the WWE Title match at WrestleMania Backlash, making it a Triple Threat with the lineup being Strowman vs. McIntyre vs. Lashley. It is pretty evident that the champion isn’t happy with the sudden change.
The All-Mighty Champion will speak about what appears to be his first title match since retaining over McIntyre at WrestleMania 37. He was allegedly not consulted about this big change in the match. In a Triple Threat, he won’t have to be involved in pinfall or submission but he can still drop the belt.

WWE Raw may also witness more collaboration from Charlotte Flair and SmackDown official Sonya Deville. The new alliance may just lead to Flair chasing RAW Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley for her title. Not to mention, Deville is the reason why Flair is back on Raw, in the first place.
This past episode of WWE RAW saw Deville made a surprise appearance on the show to bring Charlotte Flair back from her storyline suspension. The Queen then competed in a singles match to defeat Mandy Rose. At this point, Flair vs. Ripley or a Triple Threat featuring Flair vs. Asuka vs. Ripley has been rumored for WrestleMania Backlash, but WWE is yet to confirm this.
Current card for next week’s WWE Raw
Perhaps more on the scenario will be let known on this upcoming episode of WWE Raw. For now, the lineup stands as follows,
* RAW Tag Team Champions Omos and AJ Styles make their first TV appearances since defeating The New Day at WrestleMania 37
* What’s next from the alliance of Charlotte Flair and SmackDown official Sonya Deville?
* WWE Champion Bobby Lashley will address Braun Strowman’s addition to the WrestleMania Backlash title match also featuring Drew McIntyre to make it a Triple Threat
