Money in the Bank 2018 Bobby Lashley v Sami Zayn

Bobby Lashley and Sami Zayn will clash at WWE Money in the Bank in a highly personal showdown for family honor and vertigo retribution.

In case you've missed it, Zayn has been harboring a bit of a grudge against Bobby Lashley, who he believes has gone out of his way to embarrass him by returning to Raw on the same night that Zayn arrived on Team Red. Furthermore, Lashley executed a stalling suplex so savage that it gave Zayn the first documented case of vertigo in WWE history, at least according to Sami.

Proclaiming himself to be the recipient of Lashley’s personal victimization, the former NXT Champion disputed the notion that Lashley was the type of kind-hearted family man he proclaimed himself to be during a sit-down interview with Renee Young. In fact, Zayn claimed to have gotten the real dirt on Lashley by contacting the powerful Superstar’s three sisters — a truth he promised to unveil by bringing them to Raw.

Instead of producing the sisters, however, Zayn hired three men to dress up like Lashley’s siblings in an effort to sully the reputation of the returning Superstar. Though Lashley first took the move in stride, the unrelenting mockery by Zayn eventually led to the former ECW Champion pummeling the impostors, while Zayn scurried away to the relative safety of the entrance ramp.

Following an insincere apology from Zayn the following week, Lashley proposed that they settle their issues like men in a one-on-one matchup at WWE Money in the Bank. Although the two competitors shook hands, Zayn issued a warning that he will Helluva Kick the smile off Lashley’s face. In response, Lashley squeezed Zayn’s hand in painful fashion in order to send the message that their imminent encounter will be all business.
