This is a match that has huge implications for both men
This is a match with huge implications for both men

Sami Zayn was red hot when he first went heel on SmackDown Live, but he has lost momentum since. The same can be said about Lashley as well. The man came into WWE with a world of momentum. His second run in the company has just not panned out the way he would have liked.

Both men take each other on at Money in the Bank this weekend. This is a high stakes match for both men. This is because the feud hasn't exactly worked out well for either man.

An inexplicable feud between Bobby Lashley and Sami Zayn over his sisters is now currently underway. But where WWE lacks in storytelling skills, these two men could make it up in terms of putting in a solid in-ring classic.

Plus, a surprise or two during the match may not hurt either.


#5 Brock Lesnar destroys both men, sets up match with Lashley

Could this dream match finally take place?
Could this dream match finally take place?

WWE missed out on a chance to book a clash between The Undertaker and Sting even though both men were in the company at the same time. They may not want to do the same with Lesnar and Lashley. This is a match that fans have yearned for, for several years. The time is rife and the platform is opportune.

Instead of having Reigns get another shot at the Championship, WWE may want to give Lashley a shot at the title. As fans proved by walking out during the match at Backlash, they will not accept Reigns as their top guy. A Lashley vs. Lesnar feud may be a fresh program.

Lesnar's future is up in the air and WWE may want to get the Lashley vs. Lesnar program out of the way, while they still can. Even though Lashley may not necessarily become Universal Champion, it may be interesting to see a brand new challenger.

#4 Sami Zayn wins the match clean

Could this be the stage for Zayn to shine bright?
Could this be the stage for Zayn to shine bright?

Sami Zayn was a great babyface when he was first called up to the main roster. When he started getting lost in the shuffle, WWE turned him heel and he thrived in that position. However, he's never really had the standout victory that would put him on the map. A win against Bobby Lashley could be what the doctor ordered.

This could help catapult Zayn right into the Intercontinental Championship picture, possibly. And a program between heel Zayn and babyface Rollins could set the main roster on fire. This could maybe even result in Sami Zayn's first taste of main roster gold.

As for Lashley, it would absolutely damage his credibility and remove him from the conversation as a possible Universal Championship challenger. However, one can argue that he has already lost all credibility.

#3 Double DQ finish

Could WWE want to prolong this feud?

While very few members of the WWE Universe may be invested in a Lashley vs. Zayn feud, WWE may want to prolong this feud across several weeks. And to achieve the same, there could be a Double DQ finish at Money in the Bank. Of course, this would be a very unappealing prospect. At the same time, it is a very possible one!

AJ Styles and Nakamura seem to be feuding forever. Lashley and Zayn could be headed down the same route.

#2 Kevin Owens helps Sami Zayn win

Where one goes, the other is sure to follow
Where one goes, the other is sure to follow

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are RAW's devious duo. The two of them may have a plan in place. Could Zayn's role be to help Owens win the Money in the Bank ladder match? Could Owens' role be to help Zayn defeat Lashley?

The two men have been fast friends since their independent wrestling days. They even teamed up at WrestleMania to take part in Daniel Bryan's big return match. Why wouldn't they have each other's backs at Money in the Bank?

Lest we forget, Owens did team up with Zayn to take on Strowman and Lashley at Backlash. The men may have much-unfinished business.

#1 Bobby Lashley defeats Sami Zayn clean

Lashley is, of course, a real beast
Bobby Lashley is, of course, a real beast

One can say that Lashley has been misrepresented in his recent WWE comeback. The man has a background in the military. He is an MMA fighter. And yet, WWE has had him talk about his sisters in a feud that has gone nowhere.

This could be the biggest match of his recent run. This is the match for all the marbles. A win could catapult Lashley back to where he ideally belongs.

A strong victory against Zayn could help him reclaim all the momentum he has lost thus far. In fact, he needs a victory far more than Zayn does right now.

The likeliest possibility is Lashley making short work of Zayn!
