WWE Money in the Bank 2021 is just a week away. And the main event looks set with Bobby Lashley defending his WWE Championship against Kofi Kingston. However, the ‘All-Mighty’ WWE Champion hasn’t had quite the momentum he would’ve love to heading into the pay-per-view.

Last week, The New Day defeated Bobby Lashley and MVP in a tag team match on Raw. This loss didn’t sit well with Lashley and MVP as they were the one’s who requested it.

Hence, to make things right, Lashley versus Xavier Woods was scheduled for this week. Shockingly, things didn’t turn out so good this week either!
