Bobby Lashley & MVP Segment 

MVP: Now, last week, we should’ve had a proper celebration because Bobby Lashley won the collision with consequences. In a match, built up over decades, one we thought we would never see, two leviathans coming face to face, Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar. Bobby Lashley, The All Mighty, slayed the beast and took back his WWE Championship. Now, I know there are some of you that are saying that Bobby only won because Roman Reigns interfered in the match. Exactly. Bobby didn’t see any of that, he didn’t know about that. I mean, Brock Lesnar would have done the same exact thing. If we’re keeping it a buck, Brock Lesnar could have seen the interference, and he still wouldn’t have capitalized. The only thing that matters is at the end, Bobby Lashley pinned Brock Lesnar and stood victorious. Last week, we should’ve had a police escorted motorcade, a parade, a ticker tape parade. We should’ve had marching bands, showgirls, and bottles of champagne.

Last week should’ve been declared, Bobby Lashley Day! But instead, we got Adam Pearce telling The All Mighty that he would have to defend his WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber against five other superstars. And that brings us back to Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar won the Royal Rumble Match. No question about it, credit where it’s due. A very impressive feat. Maybe even more impressive when you consider, two hours before, The All Mighty left him laying out for the count. Brock Lesnar earned his match. He will face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania for the Universal Championship main event, he did that.

But Brock Lesnar entering the Elimination Chamber and taking The All Mighty’s WWE Championship to make it a title for title match at WrestleMania? Pure fantasy. The All Mighty will leave the Elimination Chamber the exact same way he left the Royal Rumble, WWE Champion. And that’s not to disparage the other superstars in the Elimination Chamber, because AJ Styles and Seth Rollins, two former WWE Champions. Without question, two of the best to have ever done it. You also have Riddle and Austin Theory, the future of WWE, potentially future WWE Champions. They’re all stellar superstars, but they’re men. When you’re talking about The All Mighty and Brock Lesnar, you’re talking about monsters. Monster Business. And my business associate, Bobby Lashley, the WWE Champion is the biggest, baddest monster of them all. Champ!

Bobby Lashley: The champ lives here. You know, Brock Lesnar disrespected me for the last time. Brock came to Raw last week with his little MMA gloves on, jumping up, all pumped up. Trying to demand a rematch. You don’t make demands from The All Mighty. Brock Lesnar came in saying this and saying that. Demanding everything that he never worked for. When was the last time Brock defended the WWE Title? More importantly, when was the last time Brock had a match on Raw?

You see, I won’t be disrespected. That’s why I truly hope it comes down to me and Brock in that Elimination Chamber, just so that I can pin him once again. You see, because it’s not just me being locked into the Chamber with Brock, it’s going to be Brock locked in the chamber with me. So let me tell you, when Brock wakes up in the hospital, shaking at the mere sound of Bobby Lashley, this so-called Beast can go and challenge for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. Meanwhile, I will be defending my title in the main event of WrestleMania

Becky Lynch & Lita Segment 

Lita: I had no idea I would be on Monday Night Raw in Denver a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know, though, after being in the Royal Rumble with some of the top stars, I started to feel like I was home. But I was in there with Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, Bianca BelAir, Rhea Ripley. But there’s one person, one person that was very conspicuous by her absence in the Royal Rumble. A woman at the top of her game, a woman they’re building glass ceilings at this point for her to smash them down. And I thought, hey, I’m gonna go for broke. I went straight to Raw and issued a challenge to Becky Lynch. I mean, we go back a long way. I’ve wanted this match for a long time.

Becky Lynch: Wow, wow, guys, do you have any idea how incredible it is to come out here and to hear Lita say such amazing things about me? No, hey, for real, it’s one thing for me to come out here night after night and prove that I’m the best in the ring. Prove it so much so that ole Ronnie has gone running scared. But it’s a whole different story to come out here and hear it from your teenage idol. Now, last week, you came out here and issued a challenge to me. And I initially said, no and I want to explain why. Growing up, I worshipped you. You showed me what was possible for a woman to do in WWE. And then when I finally made it here, there was a lot of people that turned their nose up at me, but you didn’t.

You saw something in me, you believed in me, and supported me. And for that, I’m eternally grateful. I would go as far as to say that, without Lita, there is no Becky Lynch. But now there is a Becky Lynch, there can be no Lita. Do you have any idea how hurtful it is to have the one person you looked up to more than anyone and try to take everything away from you? This is the most important thing in my life, and this is the most important time of the year, it’s WrestleMania season. I have had to get rid of everything to become the champion I am. I’ve had to get rid of friends, no problem. I’ve had to get rid of the people, no problem. And I will get rid of you, no problem. Because I am in the prime of my career. I’ve beaten everybody who has gotten in my way. And you may have helped bring me up, but I will have no problem putting you down.

Lita: Hey, look, Becky, you speak the truth. You are the top of your game. You’re beating women, night after night. Odds are, you are the odds on favorite, I know that. And that’s exactly why I’m here. Look, I have no problem being the underdog. I was just some punk rock dumpster diving kid that went out and chased my dreams. But it was you guys that helped me become a 4x Women’s Champion. It is you guys that chanted my name from the day I came out here and helped me live my dreams. So, Becks, while it may be true that I haven’t had a title shot in 15 years, there’s something else that hasn’t changed. The WWE Universe still supports me to this day. And as long as they’re here, there’s still a Lita. So, I’m okay with my odds. What you have to get okay with, girlfriend, is how you’re going to feel when I walk out of Elimination Chamber, a 5X Women’s Champion.

Becky Lynch: Okay, Lita. I’ll leave you with the people because that’s all you’re ever gonna have.
