– MVP is in the ring now as Mike Rome does the introduction. MVP says it is his privilege and honor to present to us… he calls on the crowd to rise, not just because this person is from here in Denver, but because he’s a Brock Lesnar-beating, title-taking, reigning and defending, the WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. The music hits and out comes Lashley to a pop. Lashley slaps hands with some fans at ringside as he heads to the ring. The hometown crowd chants “Bobby!” as he enters the ring and the pyro goes off.

The “Bobby!” chants get louder until MVP takes the mic. He says we should’ve had a proper celebration last week because Lashley won a match built up for decades, he slayed The Beast and took back his WWE Title. MVP knows some people say Lashley only won due to interference by WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, but Lashley didn’t see any of that and Lesnar would’ve done the same thing. The only thing that matters is that Lashley pinned Lesnar and stood victorious. MVP goes on about how grand last week should’ve been, but instead they got Adam Pearce announcing the WWE Title Elimination Chamber. Fans boo. MVP says that brings us back to Lesnar. He gives Lesnar props for winning the 30-Man Royal Rumble to earn his WrestleMania 38 title shot from Reigns, but Lesnar entering the Elimination Chamber in hopes of making it a Title vs. Title match at WrestleMania… that’s pure fantasy.

MVP says Lashley will leave Elimination Chamber as he left the Royal Rumble, with the title. MVP goes on and gives praise to the other Chamber combatants, and says but they are men. When you’re talking about Lashley and Lesnar, you’re talking about monsters and Lashley is the biggest and baddest of them all. Lashley takes the mic and fans chant his name some more. Lashley says Lesnar disrespected him for the last time. Lashley says Lesnar doesn’t demand anything from him, and knocks him for showing up with his “little MMA gloves” last week. Lashley wonders when the last time Lesnar defended the title was, or when he wrestled on RAW. Lashley says he will be disrespected no more, and he hopes it comes down to he and Lesnar in the Chamber so he can pin Lesnar again. He says it won’t be he and Lesnar locked in the Chamber, it will be Lesnar locked in the Chamber with him. The “Bobby!” chants get louder. Lashley looks ahead to putting Lesnar in the hospital and sending him to WrestleMania to challenge for Reigns. Lashley says he will then be defending his WWE Title in the main event of WrestleMania. The music starts right up as MVP and Lashley pose fort he crowd as they cheer Lashley on.

– We get a look back at Alexa Bliss and her therapist on last week’s RAW, when he gave her the fake replica Lilly doll. The therapy session continues now with the doctor asking Alexa to hand over the replica Lilly, to practice a separation exercise. Bliss hands the fake Lilly doll over and the doc says it’s going to be OK. Bliss starts crying and that’s it for the segment. To be continued later tonight.
