Yours truly couldn't believe it when Bobby Lashley retained the WWE Title by beating Drew McIntyre back at 'Mania. Drew winning in front of a live crowd seemed like the stick-on play, but WWE wanted to open the weekender with a mini-swerve, and it paid off.

They don't need to go sour on Bob quite yet either.

This Triple Threat dynamic gives WWE an out. They don't need to have Lashley beat McIntyre again, not when Braun Strowman is also involved. It's simple: Bobby should pin Braun after crashing Drew through the announce desk and hitting Strowman with everything he has.

Creative shouldn't be too concerned about making Braun look strong here. Lashley is the WWE Champion, for crying out loud, so it's hardly a disgrace if Strowman does a clean job for him on a 'B' level pay-per-view like this.

Braun got his wrecking ball moment in on Raw anyway. He doesn't need another one.
