Number One Contender’s Bout, Intergender Match Set For 5/31 WWE Raw
Bobby Lashley bought himself another week to determine who will challenge him at the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
After a back-and-forth battle on Monday, May 24, 2021, Kofi Kingston and Drew McIntyre will face off again next week to determine who will face Bobby Lashley at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
Originally, their match tonight was to determine Bobby Lashley’s challenger for the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, but due to interference by both Bobby Lashley and MVP, Kofi Kingston and Drew McIntyre have been ordered by WWE official Adam Pierce to face off again next week in a match that will officially determine who will challenge Bobby Lashley on Sunday, June 20, 2021, in the final pay-per-view of the WWE ThunderDome era.
