Bobby Lashley arrived on WWE RAW following his massive victory at WrestleMania Backlash looking more confident than ever. The All Mighty boasted about his win before allowing MVP to issue an open challenge on his behalf.

Drew McIntyre came out to accept the challenge, but MVP made it clear that McIntyre and Braun Strowman were exempt from the offer. Throughout the night, several superstars made their intentions clear to answer the open challenge.

At the end of the night, Kofi Kingston surprisingly decided to come out and accept Lashley’s challenge. Before the match could begin, MVP clarified that the match was not for the WWE Championship.

Kingston took a few shots at Lashley before the opening bell. The All Mighty responded by taking Kingston down with a slam for a near fall. Kingston then tried to stay alive in the match with some quick strikes and high-flying maneuvers.

Xavier Woods once again used the trombone to distract Kingston’s opponent and allowed him to take advantage. The WWE Champion still managed to get back in the match and used his power well to stay over Kingston.

In the final moments of the match, McIntyre appeared to hit Lashley with MVP’s cane while the referee was distracted. This allowed Kingston to roll up Lashley for a massive victory on RAW.

The match was good and allowed these two veterans to compete against each other for the first time. Lashley needed to pick up a loss after such a dominating run. Kingston was the right man for the job as he is a former WWE Champion who has picked up several big victories in his career.

Big D is always there for the lads!!!Congrats, @TrueKofi#DrewDayRocks pic.twitter.com/Vlv9vEGuQ4

RAW should now build a short rivalry between Lashley and Kingston for the WWE Championship. The RAW creative team need to keep McIntyre away from the title for some time, and Kingston is the right man for the job.
