Extreme Rules 2018 Roman Reigns v Bobby Lashley

At WWE's most Extreme night of the year, might will make right. For the first time ever, Roman Reigns will go one-on-one against Bobby Lashley in a showdown between two absolute forces of nature.

Two of the most intense Superstars on Monday Night Raw, Reigns and Lashley were originally set to be part of a multi-man match at the July 15 pay-per-view to decide who will become the next Superstar to challenge Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

However, when the high-stakes encounter was suddenly called off due to apparent problems with Lesnar’s contract negotiations, a subsequent interaction between Reigns and Lashley turned from professional to personal in a hurry. During their heated exchange, they proposed settling things in the ring, a notion Raw General Manager Kurt Angle was more than happy to "take under advisement." Then, after various attempts to team together only served to further fuel their issues, Angle decided they would indeed settle things in the ring of the Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
