“He’s number two” – Bobby Lashley explains why Drew McIntyre keeps getting WWE title shots

Bobby Lashley explains why Drew McIntyre keeps getting WWE title shots. The two are scheduled to face each other at Hell in a Cell this Sunday.

Drew McIntyre has been a constant presence in the WWE title picture since beating Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania last year. He has been involved in every WWE Championship match bar the one where Bobby Lashley beat the Miz to  become WWE Champion.

This has led to some complains from fans who want to see new faces in the main event scene. However, according to Lashely during an interview with Fightful, there is an explanation as to why the Scottish Warrior keeps getting several opportunities at the championship.

Bobby Lashley explains why Drew McIntyre keeps getting WWE title shots

“Everyone keeps talking ‘why does Drew keep getting an opportunity?’ Drew keeps getting an opportunity because no one is beating him. He’s number two. Let someone else be number two and that’s who gets the opportunity. We’re at a case right now to see who steps up to be number two. A lot of guys are really close to being able to do it and getting that momentum, but we don’t know. I don’t know if someone from the outside is going to come in to get some of this and wants to get beat up and sent back. I’m anxious to find out.”

The two will fight each other this Sunday inside Hell in a Cell. If McIntyre fails to dethrone Lashley this time he will no longer get another shot at the WWE title as long as Lashley remains the champion.

You lose, you’re done! No third or fourth or fifth rematches.
