Big E, Bobby Lashley, MVP, Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins. Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville Segment 

MVP: There is an issue of respect with this generation of superstars. You got guys like Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins. They come out here week after week, whining, complaining, backstabbing, doing whatever it takes to get into a WWE Championship Match. But you know who doesn’t complain, ever? Bobby Lashley. You know who doesn’t whine? Bobby Lashley. He makes statements. And he made a statement last week, not just to Rollins and Owens and the WWE Champion Big E, but also to Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville. It is imperative that The All Mighty Bobby Lashley be added to the WWE Championship Match at Day One PPV on New Year’s Day, because there is no better way to start off the new year than with this man, Bobby Lashley, as your All Mighty WWE Champion.

Kevin Owens: You know, you’re out here talking about how I’m disrespectful. I never said any of your names. Truthfully, I haven’t paid attention to anything you’ve said or done for two years, okay? So how was I disrespectful? Until last week when you saw fit to attack us all from behind when I was already down. Now you’re trying to weasel your way into my title match at Day One. As much as I hate to give him credit for anything, Seth Rollins earned his way into the title match at Day One, just like I, Kevin Owens, the greatest superstar in the history of this industry, earned his way into the title match.

But you, you have not earned your way into anything. Listen, in 19 days, I need to become WWE Champion so that I can give the WWE Universe a champion they can finally be proud of. I’m not doing this for me. I’m doing it for them so they can have a good example. And you don’t belong in that match. It’s hard enough to win a triple threat match with two top tier superstars. Now you want in, and you want to make it even harder for me? No. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants you there. You don’t belong there. And I’m gonna go to Adam Pearce. I’m gonna go to Sonya Deville.

Seth Rollins: Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t start the show without the star of the show, and that is me, Seth Freaking Rollins. Now, Bobby, while I do admire that suit game you’ve got going on there, and as much as I absolutely despise you, Kevin, I got to take your side on this one. I gotta agree with you. Bobby, I don’t think you should be in my title match at Day One just like you shouldn’t be in my title match.

Kevin Owens: That’s a lie. I earned every bit of that.

MVP: They’re afraid of you.

Bobby Lashley: If you don’t want me in your match, come in this ring and do something about it. You keep talking. Come in this ring and do something about it.

Kevin Owens: You just agreed with me on something, so we’re on a roll. We should agree on this too. You and me together working as one against Bobby Lashley. He can’t take us.

Seth Rollins: I agree with you twice. He cannot take us.

Kevin Owens: Are we going to do it?

Seth Rollins: Let’s do this thing.

Kevin Owens: You go first.

Seth Rollins: Why should I go first? I’m in a suit.

MVP: Seth, when Bobby hits you, he’s going to run.

Seth Rollins: What did he say?

Kevin Owens: I wasn’t paying attention.

Big E: Well, if it isn’t my favorite collection of idiots. While you, Seth and Kevin, the two of you may be quaking in your boots at the mere idea of being in the ring with The All Mighty Bobby Lashley. Let me remind you, in case you forgot, Bobby, I beat you to become WWE Champion.

Bobby Lashley: After a match when I was injured. But go ahead.

Big E: Hush. I also beat you inside of a steel cage. And please believe I have no problem doing it one more time.
Adam Pearce: Hold on now, hold on. Gentlemen, stop right where you are. If anybody lays a finger on anyone out here, there will be severe consequences. And as you’re all aware, we are not afraid to dish out fines or suspensions.

Sonya Deville: We’ve heard what everyone had to say and we’ve decided. We think a Fatal Four Way Match sounds like a great idea. With that being said, Bobby Lashley will be officially added to the WWE Championship Match at Day One.

MVP: That’s what I’m talking about. Exactly.

Adam Pearce: You got to let us finish. Bobby Lashley will be added to the WWE Championship Match at Day One and it will be a Fatal Four Way Match, if, and that’s a big if, if Bobby Lashley can defeat, in no particular order, WWE Champion Big E, Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins. It’s simple. If Bobby wants in the match, he has to defeat all three of these men in one on one competition here tonight.

Becky Lynch & Liv Morgan Segment 

Becky Lynch: Welcome to the big time. Yes, yes. It is a big, big night for Saint Paul now that Big Time Becks is in the building. And a lot of you thought that last week was going to be a big, big night for Liv Morgan. And it was. It was. It was a big, big night. First ever championship match and what a match it was. But I am still standing here, your Raw Women’s Champion, just like I said I would. Some of you are happy I won. And a lot of you, a lot of you wish Liv would have won, huh? Yes. You wish Liv would have won. On the off chance that Liv did beat me, if she was standing in here with this title on her shoulder, you would find every reason to doubt the same woman that convinced you to believe in her. Am I wrong? No, I’m never wrong. You don’t know what you want.

Remember when you wanted me back, you wanted me back. “We Want Becky! We Want Becky.” And then I came back and a lot of you have opinions on how I am and you don’t like how I do my job. You have opinions on how I do my job even though you’ve never set foot in this ring. You never set foot in this ring. You never changed the game. You never broke down gender barriers to be the biggest thing in this industry. You never left at the height of your career and come back better than ever. You never had to evolve, because here it’s evolution, baby. And if you don’t evolve, you get left behind, disappointing all of your fans, just like Liv did on Monday. Let’s take a look at the tron here, shall we? Oh, look at that. The look of disappointment. I love to see it. All of you, Liv fans and all of you doubters can get used to that because I’m going to be holding on to this championship for a very, very long time.

Liv Morgan: I’m not getting used to anything, Becky, and I think that Saint Paul is getting sick and tired of listening to your broken record. You keep saying that people would doubt me if I became the Raw Women’s Champion. But the only person that’s doubting me here is you. And do you know what? You doubting me is the exact reason why you almost lost last week and why you had to cheat to win. So I actually prepared my own little photo to prove my point. Oh, yeah. Becky, you should be really, really proud of yourself. But you know what? You are the best. But the only thing that you’re the best at is cheating to win.

I cried a little bit last week after our match. But that’s not because I’m weak. It’s because I’m human. And I was disappointed. But you know what? I snapped out of it because I know that I can beat you. And just like that little girl, I believe it. So did you think that that would embarrass me? No. If anything you reminded me exactly why our story isn’t over, because I won’t ever give up until I can make that title mean something again for people like that little girl. And if you’re really Big Time Becks, then you will accept a rematch for the Raw Women’s Championship at Day One.

Becky Lynch: No, no, no, Liv, I didn’t do that because I had to. I did it because it was easy. You want to hang with me, Liv, you want to hang with the best. Don’t blame me for grabbing the rope. Blame yourself for not beating me to it. Liv, blame yourself for not being ready for it. Blame yourself for not being ready. If you were ready, you would have known that I was going to do it. But you’re not ready, Liv. You’re not ready. And the only thing you proved is that you don’t have the killer instinct. No, instead, you did the same thing that you always do, Liv. You did absolutely nothing.

Morgan storms into the ring. Morgan ducks a clothesline from Becky. Morgan with The Lou Thez Press. Morgan transitions into a ground and pound attack. Morgan kicks Becky in the gut.

Becky Lynch: Oh, no, Liv. Looks like you went and injured yourself. Well, if you still want that match, you’re on. And now, seeing as there’s no other able-bodied women to challenge me for my title, I’m going to go home. I’m going to train. I’m going to hangout with my hot husband and my beautiful baby. Maybe you should put some ice on that
