Days after retaining his World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) title against Goldberg at World Wrestling at the SummerSlam, the hunt for Bobby Lashley’s new challenger has begun in Raw. And, on Monday’s night’s Raw episode, two contenders were identified to challenge Lashley for his WWE title. The first man to challenge Lashley was United States champion, Damian Priest.
Priest recently hogged media headlines following his emphatic win over Sheamus at SummerSlam. However, the fight between Lashley and Priest was cut short by Sheamus’s interference. Sheamus’s interruption led to a tag team match with Damian Priest teaming up with Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley tagging with Sheamus.
In another high profile encounter, AJ Styles took on Riddle. The viewers also saw the Miz in action as he faced Xavier Woods in an anticipating fight. In the women’s tag team match, Nikki A.S.H and Rhea Ripley faced Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler in an entertaining battle.
