Lashley-Orton WWE Championship match announced for Raw

It appears that there’s been a change of plans for Monday’s episode of Raw.

A commercial that aired during SmackDown tonight announced that Bobby Lashley will defend his WWE Championship against Randy Orton on Monday’s Raw. Orton is also set to challenge for Lashley’s WWE Championship at Extreme Rules later this month.

RK-Bro (Orton & Riddle) were originally scheduled to defend their Raw Tag Team titles against Lashley & MVP on Monday’s Raw. WWE.com has taken down their article for that Tag Team title match.

Lashley & MVP won a Tag Team Turmoil match on Raw earlier this week to become the number one contenders to Orton & Riddle’s titles.

Lashley & MVP and AJ Styles & Omos were the final two teams in the Tag Team Turmoil match. Omos gave Lashley a tree slam after the match, then Orton capitalized on that by dropping Lashley with an RKO.

It was the second straight week that Orton had laid out Lashley with an RKO. The previous week, Orton gave Lashley an RKO after RK-Bro retained their Tag Team titles against Lashley & MVP in the main event of Raw.

Monday’s Raw is taking place at the TD Garden in Boston. The show will go head-to-head with the season premiere of Monday Night Football.
