When Kurt Angle emerged from the Elimination Chamber having successfully defended his title yet again, his confidence had reached stratospheric levels. Even Mr. McMahon's announcement that Bobby Lashley had been installed as the next number one challenger did seem to deter the Olympian too much.
But the entire complexion of his reign would take another turn when his next open challenge was answered by none other than Brock Lesnar himself! Having been barred from the World Heavyweight title picture for a year following a stipulation from his title defence against Roman Reigns which he had lost, The Beast Incarnate was desperate to insert himself into a title match at WrestleMania. Kurt Angle's Open Challenge provided the perfect opportunity. Lesnar inflicted Angle's first defeat since becoming Intercontinental Champion and earned himself a title shot, which he summarily chose to be scheduled for WrestleMania. Job done..
But that left an incensed Bobby Lashley having to face not only the champion, but also the formidable Brock Lesnar if he wanted to once again become the Intercontinental champion. So what we have now is a Triple Threat EXTREME RULES IRONMAN match!
To put that in context, we have three of the greatest technical pure wrestlers in the history of pro wrestling. You have a collegiate champion in Brock Lesnar, a military champion in Bobby Lashley, and of course an Olympic champion in Kurt Angle. All three are bona fide submission specialists.. Lesnar with his Kimura Lock, Lashley with his Hurt Lock, and Angle with the dreaded Ankle Lock.
That isn't even factoring in how each can end the match in an instant with their high powered finishers.. The Spear of Lashley vs The Angle Slam from the champ vs the F5 from Lesnar.
So many ways this could go...it will be quite the spectacle.
For the Intercontinental championship...
