The Drew McIntyre era continues to gain momentum.
McIntyre, the reigning WWE Champion, defeated Bobby Lashley on Sunday at Backlash in a very physical presentation of pro wrestling.
“That’s the way I like it and that’s the way Lashley likes it,” said McIntyre, who also retained the belt Monday night on Raw. “The WWE universe got a different taste of what Bobby Lashley is capable of, and that is my job as champion—bring my opponent up. Every time I have a big pay-per-view match, it’s my responsibility to have people talking about it the next day.
