10 HUGE WWE Money In The Bank 2021 Predictions You Need To Know

5. Bobby Lashley (c) Vs. Kofi Kingston

Bobby Lashley wants to f*cking pulverise Kofi Kingston, and good on him for actually having a bit of fire in his belly again.

An actually-pretty-great programme between the WWE Champion and New Day man kicked off before Lashley's last one had even concluded, showing some remarkable planning from a Vince McMahon known for tearing up Raw scripts with just minutes to air. Ahead of Hell In A Cell, Kingston fortuitously scored a victory over 'The All-Mighty'. With just six days left before this showdown, Xavier Woods managed it too, forcing Lashley to get f*cking serious. That itself paid off the reason for all the silliness the character had enjoyed since getting by Drew McIntyre.

WWE deserves a hair ruffle for this one, not least because Lashley's awesome go-home promo scared people into thinking Kingston was getting well and truly Lesnar'ed at the pay-per-view.

He won't, but he's not getting his hands back on the belt either.

Winner - Bobby Lashley
