#4 Plans for then-WWE Champion Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley won the WWE Championship from The Miz earlier this year. He followed the win with a major feud with Drew McIntyre which spanned multiple pay-per-views, with the champion coming out on top every single time.

One of the major pay-per-views of the year, Hell In a Cell, was moved up to June instead of being held later in the year. It is believed the change in date was due to Jimmy Uso's return, as he was set to challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the steel structure.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter correctly predicted that the WWE Championship would also be defended inside Hell In a Cell.

"So Hell in a Cell is being moved to 6/20 without any Hell in a Cell program being at the level one would expect for such a show. Hell in a Cell should be the culmination of a feud, and the only program that appears at this point to be ready for it would be Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE title," Meltzer noted.

The Scottish Warrior entered the structure with the stipulation that he wouldn't be allowed to challenge The Almighty for the title again if he lost. Lashley retained the title and McIntyre moved to another program.
