WWE Rumor Roundup - Unwritten rule reportedly violated, Drew McIntyre to lose WWE title? Superstar out for several months due to real injury - 7th June 2020

#4. Speculation on Drew McIntyre dropping the WWE Championship

Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship reign has been booked well thus far by the WWE, but there are now rumors going around that he could end up dropping the title soon.

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue highlighted the growing speculation about Drew McIntyre possibly losing the WWE title to Bobby Lashley at the end of their feud.

Dave Meltzer had reported that Paul Heyman wanted MVP to become Bobby Lashley's mouthpiece so that the company could book him for a title run. The speculation about McIntyre losing the WWE Championship has grown stronger in the past few days as we edge closer to Backlash, where the Scottish Psychopath will put the title on the line against Lashley.

Here's what Tom had to say:

There is a large amount of speculation at the moment that Bobby Lashley may be coming out of his feud with Drew McIntyre as the new WWE Champion. This is something that I won't be totally against seeing. Drew McIntyre as a face is very good chasing a Championship. Also, he has defeated a lot of the RAW roster. The Brand vs. Brand invitational may be essential just to keep him with opponents for a while, and that's probably one of the reasons why we've seen Baron Corbin so far really use it in the men's division.
