During Sunday night’s WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event, it was announced that the WWE Championship will be defended on this week’s episode of RAW. We’ll see Big E. defend his championship against Bobby Lashley and the match will kick off the show.
Lashley delivered the challenge at Extreme Rules after The New Day defeated him, AJ Styles and Omos in a six-man tag team match to begin the show. Big E. later accepted Lashley’s challenge.
