#4 Possible plans for The Miz, Bobby Lashley, and the WWE Championship

The Miz successfully cashed in the Money in the Bank contract to win the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber. A world title change this close to WrestleMania has understandably sent shockwaves across the internet, and the fans are wondering about what's next for the WWE Championship.

WrestleVotes had an update that noted that The Miz is not scheduled to be in the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 37. However, Bobby Lashley - who helped The A-Lister win the title, is slated to be involved in the match.

It's that time of year- LOTS of misinformation b/w sources, which happens around WM. However, from source: WWE Title match- The Miz is not scheduled to be involved. As of now, Bobby Lashley IS.

Dave Meltzer had also noted earlier in the day during the Wrestling Observer Radio that The Miz capturing the WWE Championship is just a transition to get to another angle.

"Well, they will both get it. It's just a question of when. It's not like the world ends at WrestleMania. They are going to do it. They are definitely going to do it. The question is, you know, do they have Drew win the title, you know, tomorrow, and then defend against Sheamus, and then against Lashley, or in the opposite order, or do they go with Drew beating Miz at Fastlane, and then defend against probably Lashley and then Sheamus comes after Lashley."

Meltzer speculated that The A-Lister could soon drop the title, possibly at Fastlane, before moving on to the rumored tag team match against Bad Bunny and Damian Priest WrestleMania 37.

Bobby Lashley and Sheamus would ideally be in contention for the WWE Championship match, but the Hurt Business member seems to be locked in for the marquee title contest.
