Bobby Lashley will get his chance to win the WWE United States Championship once again at Money in the Bank.
After several weeks of being antagonized by Theory, Bobby Lashley will face Austin Theory for the WWE United States Championship after earning the opportunity by beating Austin Theory and Alpha Academy in a Gauntlet Match.
The All Mighty is coming for Theory’s United States Championship at WWE Money in the Bank!
Theory may be self-centered and selfie obsessed (and believe us, he is that), but Mr. McMahon’s hand-picked protégé is all business from bell to bell. He possesses a full arsenal and a win-at-any-cost attitude that has proved very effective since he captured the United States Title.
Angering Bobby Lashley, however, is not wise no matter what kind of streak you’re enjoying. After refusing to give The All Mighty a title opportunity, Theory was quite literally kicked out of the ring with tremendous force by the former WWE Champion.
When Lashley beat him in the first-ever Theory Invitational Pose-Down, the nefarious titleholder blinded his adversary by squirting lotion in his eyes and knocked him out of the ring with a dropkick.
Fueled by fury, Lashley reemerged to blind Theory the following week and hit him with an earth-shattering Spear of retribution before going on to defeat Chad Gable, Otis and Theory himself in a Gauntlet Match to finally earn the right to challenge for the U.S. Title at WWE Money in the Bank.
