WWE Raw 5 Predictions: Stephanie McMahon’s Announcement
By Mark Justice
2. Bobby Lashley Defeats Roman Reigns
Bobby Lashley is a DIFFERENT BREED! Whether that was supposed to be taken literally as shot at Roman for being the BIG DOG or figuratively as someone who stands out in the roster of talented superstars, Lashley is a pretty clever individual. He talks BIG, and he delivers BIG.

This is the type of superstar the WWE needs to defeat Universal Champ Brock Lesnar once and for all, and I foresee him beating Roman tonight on WWE Raw to finally obtain a one on one matchup with Brock at SummerSlam. This is what Lashley came to the WWE to do: beat Brock and win the Universal Title. If Samoa Joe, Goldberg, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman are capable of having a one-on-one match with Brock, Lashley is too. No triple threats are necessary.
In order to keep Roman looking strong, Drew McIntyre could also screw Roman in this match since they were involved in the triple threat match last week. He must be pretty salty that “Phase 2” did not work out for him last week because of Roman. While Finn Bálor deals with Dolph Ziggler, McIntyre can focus on Roman and get invested in a feud with him leading up to SummerSlam.
