This feud has quickly escalated recently. Two weeks ago, Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat Lashley and win the title. Last Monday, Roman Reigns defeated the two foes in a triple threat match. Finally, at Extreme Rules, Big E pinned Lashley in a heated six-man tag team match. After the bout, Lashley challenged the champion to a title match, and the fan-favorite star accepted.
