Lashley is beating The Demon at WM

By Scott Keith on 4 April 2019

Hey Scott,

I'm thinking Lashley is going to beat The Demon at WrestleMania. Hear me out. It follows with their recent booking trend of breaking streaks at WM — the build for Taker/Brock was so piss poor everybody thought Taker was a lock and Brock was an after thought. And then the shocking win was super memorable. 

Same thing happened with Charlotte/Asuka last year. I didn't see that coming at all because it was such an after thought. 

Even the Sting/HHH match made me think Sting was 100% winning. And Reigns/Brock from last year.

They seem to enjoy bucking expectations at WM and breaking streaks. I think everyone is 100% expecting The Demon to come out and squash Lashley. So, instead, I'm predicting Lashley beats The Demon so they can get their shocked audience shots, and the Lashley becomes the #1 heel on RAW to challenge Rollins or Reigns or even Brock. 

Thoughts?

You lost me with "Lashley becomes the #1…" anything.  Merchandising money is king, and they're not flushing away Demon Balor merchandise just to be dicks.  Balor wins the title on Sunday.
