Bobby Lashley defends his Intercontinental Championship against Finn Balor tonight at WrestleMania in what should hopefully be the final match between these two men since their back and forth has taken over the WWE Universe and not in a good way.

Finn Balor has already announced that he will be bringing The Demon with him to WrestleMania which means that he already has an advantage much like Lashley who is bringing Lio Rush with him.

Lashley only won back the Intercontinental Championship a few weeks ago on Monday Night Raw thanks to interference from Lio Rush, so it's not that much of a shock that this match is taking place, but many believed that Finn Balor deserved better, especially since he took Brock Lesnar the distance at The Royal Rumble.

Finn Balor fought for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania last year but came up short when Seth Rollins was able to walk out of New Orleans with the Championship in what was a fantastic match.

Balor has since been pushed to the main event level of the company and earlier this year it was thought that he would be in the main event this year against Brock Lesnar after he almost defeated him without The Demon at The Royal Rumble.

Balor wasn't that lucky and wasn't given the match against The Deadman either which means the most he can hope for right now is to be able to defeat Bobby Lashley once again and end this on-going feud that he has had with The Almighty over the past few months.

Balor deserves better and hopefully, a title win will give him that if he's able to win it.

#3. Bobby Lashley retains the Intercontinental Championship

Bobby Lashley won back the Intercontinental Championship a few weeks ago with the help of Lio Rush, but Lashley himself hasn't really been on form in recent weeks.

Lashley returned to WWE the night after WrestleMania last year which means that he hasn't been on a WrestleMania show in more than seven years and could be completely unaware of what level he needs to step it up to.

The Demon isn't someone that Lashley is prepared for and many believe that Finn Balor could be the one to dethrone The Almighty, but all results can't go the way that the WWE Universe wants and since Lashley has Lio Rush then it would make sense if he helps him to retain his title once again since that's all Rush seems to do lately.

#2. Lio Rush causes the disqualification/turns on Lashley

Interestingly, WWE has opted not to make this match a no-disqualification, which means that Lio Rush can't actually get involved. If he does then Lashley will be disqualified. This has never stopped Rush before and Lashley seems like the kind of heel that would be happy with this since it would mean that he retains his Championship.

On the flip side, WWE has been teasing issues with these two stars over the past few months and it could be that Rush interferes in the match and actually helps Balor win instead. This would allow Balor to move on to another feud of his own whilst Rush and Lashley settle whatever differences they have over the next few weeks.

Rush wouldn't be the first star to turn face at WrestleMania and he won't be the last, but it would be quite interesting if he chose to turn on Lashley at The Show of Shows.

#1. Sami Zayn returns!

Sami Zayn has been out of action since Money in the Bank last year when Bobby Lashley defeated him and he was then forced to undergo surgery for two torn rotator cuffs. Sami Zayn has been part of WrestleMania Axxess over the past few days and told stars that he would be around for the show, but he is still feeling quite sore.

Obviously, Sami wouldn't reveal that he would be returning on the grandest stage of them all, but the fact that he's present and he looks like he's ready to return means that he could definitely be someone that could help Balor tonight if the odds are against him.

Balor doesn't really need the help to defeat Bobby Lashley since he defeated Lashley and Rush a few months ago but WWE could decide on a different story this time around.
