Is Lashley going to use some more chalk to steal a win from Strowman?
One easy way to keep both Lashley and Strowman looking strong coming out of Super ShowDown is to have 'the Almighty' win, albeit through some chicanery. Lashley resorted to that on Raw by tossing chalk in Strowman's face before capping off the segment by power slamming 'the Monster.'

It could have been a precursor of things to come on Friday or it could have been done so that both men came out of the arm wrestling match looking strong. It's hard to have both men go over AND look strong, but Monday's booking and Lashley winning by nefarious means accomplishes that.
There is also the looming threat of Drew McIntyre and/or Baron Corbin interfering due to the constant thorn the triumvirate of men have been in Strowman's side throughout the last nine months. Either man could easily interfere to help Lashley win, but it will likely come back to haunt them if all of these Superstars are in the 50-man match.
