Due to interference from WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and MVP last week, Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston went one-on-one once again and this go-around, Lashley and MVP were banned from ringside. The winner of their match would earn a shot at the WWE Title at Hell In A Cell on June 20th.
The conclusion of the bout saw Kofi come off the top rope and he jumped into a Claymore from McIntyre which secured McIntyre the win. It will be Bobby Lashley defending the WWE Title against Drew at the next pay-per-view.
