Bobby Lashley vs. Omos cage match announced for next week’s WWE Raw

A steel cage match has been announced for next week’s WWE Raw episode. 

Bobby Lashley will face Omos in a cage match. Lashley issued the challenge to Omos in a backstage promo on this week’s Raw, and the match was made official later in the show. 

Omos defeated Lashley at Sunday’s WrestleMania Backlash event in a rematch from their WrestleMania 38 bout, which Lashley won. 

On the Raw after WrestleMania, Lashley’s manager MVP turned on him and aligned himself with Omos. 

Omos made his WWE in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37 in 2021, teaming with AJ Styles to capture the Raw Tag Team titles from Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day.

Lashley vs. Omos is the only match announced for next week’s Raw to this point. The Monday, May 16 episode will air live from the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. 

The announced lineup:
