At WWE WrestleMania Backlash, three titans waged war for the WWE Championship, as Bobby Lashley defended the gold against Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre.
Though Strowman gained the upper hand early on, McIntyre and Lashley teamed up to suplex him. The duo then battled in ring and away from it. But Strowman took flight to take both men down. He then slammed Lashley to the mat. Still, McIntyre fired back with a diving strike and a suplex to Lashley.

To give himself the edge, Strowman picked up the steel steps and smashed Lashley with them twice. But a Claymore out of nowhere promptly sent Strowman tumbling over the barricade. Lashley and McIntyre battled all the way to the top of the ramp. “The Scottish Warrior” then sent Lashley crashing through part of the entrance stage, and the impact caused the set to spark.

With the match seemingly reduced to Strowman and McIntyre, “The Monster Among Men” gained the upper hand with a running senton. But McIntyre tossed Strowman over his head at rngside to put the match back on an even playing field. Strowman then dodged a Claymore and slammed McIntyre through the announce table.

Somehow, McIntyre found enough energy to Claymore Strowman. But Lashley picked this moment to return to the ring, throw McIntyre to the outside and drop Strowman with a Spear for the win.
