Drew issued the challenge last week and Reigns accepted on tonight’s RAW. Reigns then attacked Drew and beat him around the ring, but Drew ended the segment with a low blow and a Claymore Kick.
Finn Balor vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley is also now confirmed for the biggest show of the year. Balor defeated Lashley and Jinder Mahal in a Handicap Match on tonight’s RAW to become the new #1 contender. Jinder replaced Lio Rush in the match after Rush said he was unable to compete due to what Braun Strowman did to him last week. As noted, there’s been speculation on Balor bringing back his Demon King character for the match as the gimmick has been featured in WrestleMania 35 promotional material.
WrestleMania 35 takes place on April 7 from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
