5 finishes to Big E vs. Bobby Lashley on WWE RAW - Popular faction reunites, Goldberg interferes?

Tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW will kick off with a huge WWE Championship match, as Big E will take on Bobby Lashley. This comes after the two shared the ring at Extreme Rules.

Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat Lashley for the WWE Title two weeks ago, beginning their feud. They were on opposite sides of a six-man tag team match at Extreme Rules, as The New Day defeated The All-Mighty, AJ Styles, and Omos. Following this, Bobby Lashley challenged his rival to a title match on RAW, with Big E accepting.

The WWE champion's first-ever world title defense could go several ways tonight. It may not be as straightforward as one might expect, with quite a few factors potentially coming into play.

Here are five ways tonight's WWE Championship match between Big E and Lashley could transpire. Which of these would you like to see happen? Let us know in the comments section below.

#5 Big E and Bobby Lashley fight to a No Contest

This depends on WWE's plans for the feud between the two. If The All-Mighty remains on RAW and in the world title hunt, it wouldn't be the smartest thing to completely defeat him tonight. This match could serve to build a bigger one down the line, possibly with a stipulation.

The two powerhouses can fight to a No Contest of sorts, with or without interference. The match may even end on a double count-out, only for it to restart later in the show. Either way, the scheduled RAW opener could simply serve as a storytelling device towards the eventual pay-off.

#4 Big E defeats Bobby Lashley clean on WWE RAW

If tonight's RAW is the end of this program, WWE may give Big E a huge clean victory over Bobby Lashley. This outcome is likely if The All-Mighty is set to move to SmackDown during the WWE Draft, giving him a new start.

WWE should give the duo at least 20 minutes to craft an excellent and hard-hitting encounter, which would firmly boost the New Day member's world title reign. Big E has defeated his rival twice, but not in the ideal and definitive setting that would establish him as the man on RAW.

#3 AJ Styles influences the outcome between Big E and Bobby Lashley on RAW

WWE RAW could see a repeat of Extreme Rules, where Big E pinned Bobby Lashley after a miscommunication involving AJ Styles. The All-Mighty accidentally speared The Phenomenal One before getting pinned at the pay-per-view, which might lead to some more shenanigans involving him.

Styles might have a vested interest in the WWE Championship match and may attempt to tilt the match in Lashley's favor. If this happens, he would be likelier to fail in his interference and indirectly help Big E retain his title.

A feud between Bobby Lashley and AJ Styles seems like an exciting idea, although one of the two may very well be on SmackDown by next week.

#2 The Hurt Business reunites to help Bobby Lashley regain the WWE Championship

Now that MVP is gone from Bobby Lashley's side, he should reform The Hurt Business. Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander have done nothing since getting kicked out of the faction; being Lashley's backup would be a huge step up.

They should reunite with him in a bid to re-light their fire, even without their collective mouthpiece. Benjamin and Alexander could interfere in the WWE Title match on RAW to help The All-Mighty win the belt from Big E.

Things could get extremely interesting on the red brand, as the ensuing feud between them and The New Day would be great. This incarnation of the faction may even adopt a new member, in the form of Keith Lee.

#1 WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg returns on RAW to help Big E defeat Bobby Lashley

With Crown Jewel on the way, Big E might get a huge assist on RAW during his WWE Championship match against Bobby Lashley. A huge assist from his supposed idol, Goldberg.

The former Universal Champion may be set to return, following his crushing defeat to Lashley at SummerSlam. The All-Mighty defeated Goldberg via referee stoppage and assaulted his knee after the match. He even put his hands on the veteran's son, Gage.

The Saudi Arabian pay-per-view seems like the perfect time to blow off the saga between Goldberg and Bobby Lashley. Hopefully, the match is short and sweet, unlike what happened at The Biggest Event of the Summer.

This can come via a simple distraction or following a referee bump during the match on RAW, setting up the SummerSlam rematch at Crown Jewel. It would be smart to tease a future match between Goldberg and Big E as well, in what could be the former's retirement match.

Either way, a surprise appearance from the legend at Bobby Lashley's expense is plausible tonight. But will it happen? Let's wait and find out.
