Bobby Lashley’s challenger for the United States Championship at SummerSlam is set!
At Money in the Bank, Bobby Lashley managed to defeat Theory and capture the United States Championship for a third time. However, Theory’s luck turned around when he was added to the ladder match in the main event of the show and was able to win the Money in the Bank contract.
The new champion opened Monday Night Raw by addressing the crowd, saying that no man in any division or promotion would be able to defeat him for his title.

This brought out former champion Theory, who was carrying the Money in the Bank briefcase. Theory revealed that he’d been granted a rematch with Lashley at SummerSlam, and he boasted that he would regain the US Title.

However, the Money in the Bank winner isn’t content with simply regaining the US Title and said that he would be going all the way to the top with his contract, setting his sights on the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. He said that defeating Lashley was only the start of his SummerSlam plans, and he intends to watch the match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns closely, looking for an opportunity to cash in.
Theory tried to attack Bobby Lashley, but The Almighty was able to counter the attack and lay waste to the former champion.
