Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley set for colossal Contract Signing

One week after The All Mighty challenged The Beast to a match at WWE Elimination Chamber, the two behemoths will sit down to put pen to paper in what is sure to be a massive Contract Signing.

– The Elimination Chamber go-home edition of WWE RAW opens up on the USA Network with the standard intro video. We’re now live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York City as Kevin Patrick welcomes us. He’s joined at ringside by Corey Graves.

– We go right to the ring and Becky Lynch is already out with Adam Pearce. We see how WWE Hall of Famer Lita joined forces with Lynch to fight Damage CTRL last week.

Fans chant “Becky!” as she takes the mic and says The Man has come back around to Brooklyn. She welcomes everyone and introduces Pearce to boos. Lynch says it felt good to beat Bayley in the Steel Cage last week, and shout-out to Lita for having her back. Fans chant “Lita!” now. Lynch apologizes for being so weird to Lita last year, and says she’s a true Legend.

Lynch says she’s been so distracted she didn’t realize her path to WrestleMania 39 isn’t so clear. She goes on and says she likes fighting herself into things, and Pearce likes making fights. Lynch has an offer to fight in the Elimination Chamber tonight, so what does Pearce think? Fans pop but the music interrupts and out comes Bayley. She says Lynch if a bigger idiot than these fans if she thinks she’s getting in the Chamber. Bayley says Lita had to win the match for Lynch last week, so Pearce should void the result and put Bayley in the Chamber. They go on arguing about the Chamber and who should challenge at WrestleMania until the music interrupts and out comes RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair.

Belair likes where this is going because she likes to fight the best of the best. Belair suggests Pearce let them fight to get in the Chamber. Pearce makes Belair vs. Lynch vs. Bayley for the main event. If Bayley or Lynch win, they’re in the Chamber. If Belair wins, nothing changes and both will not be allowed in the Chamber. Pearce makes it official and all three stare each other down as Belair’s music starts up.

– The announcers hype tonight’s Triple Threat main event. Back to commercial.

– Back from the break and Cathy Kelley is backstage with Baron Corbin. She asks about the split from WWE Hall of Famer JBL last week and the comments he made. Corbin says it’s been a real depressing week but… Cathy interrupts him and says we have to go to the ring because something is happening.

– The camera cuts to the ring and Sami Zayn is out in all black. He takes the mic to a pop and says he’s not here to hold up the show, but there’s someone he needs to say something important to, and he’s not sure if he’ll have the chance to say this after WWE Elimination Chamber. Sami knows Cody Rhodes is back there, so buddy come out to this ring and indulge me right now. The music hits and out comes Rhodes to a big pop as well.

Fans chant for Cody as he takes the mic. Rhodes welcomes Zayn to RAW and asks what he wants to talk about. Sami says Cody set the world on fire last week with his verbal confrontation with Paul Heyman, and for good reason, but one thing he said Sami can’t stop thinking about – when he said it’s looking more and more like it will be Rhodes vs. Zayn at WrestleMania 39. Sami came all this way to look Cody in his eyes and ask if that was just lip service or does he actually believe Sami can beat Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns this Saturday? Fans chant “yes!” now.

Cody says his bandwidth has been dedicated to saying he’s going to win the titles so he doesn’t have enough to BS Sami, so when he said he thinks he can beat Reigns, he meant it. He believed it when he said Sami will most likely be his WrestleMania opponent. Fans chant “this is awesome!” now. Cody says respectfully, he doesn’t think that is about that, it’s what Sami believes and if he thinks he can beat Reigns. Sami asks if Cody wants the truth. Fans sing “ole!” now. Sami says truth is, he doesn’t know, because Cody hasn’t seen what he’s seen while in the trenches with The Bloodline for 9 months. They always find a way and this thing about Reigns being in God Mode isn’t a catchphrase, he really is as good as he says he is and he’s operating at a higher level. Sami goes on about Reigns’ dominance and asks if he’s supposed to believe he’s really the one to take down Reigns after all this.

Sami does believe he’s capable of beating Reigns, he’s capable of winning the title, and of being WrestleMania a main event material, he has to believe that with every fiber of his being because if not, no one else will, but he does not know if he will walk out of Montreal as the champion this weekend. Fans chant “you can do it!” now. Cody goes on about how the fans know. Cody hasn’t been where Sami has with The Bloodline but he knows there’s dissension within The Bloodline and that’s because of Sami. Cody gets fired up when talking about how all of this is because of Sami. He says Reigns may be in God mode so put it on a t-shirt because it sounds better there, but Reigns is just a man. Cody says he intends to finish his story but Sami needs to finish his. Cody says just one more thing – he doesn’t want to see Sami on RAW next Monday because he’d rather see him at WrestleMania. Cody points up at the WrestleMania 39 sign and Sami looks up at it. Sami and Cody stare at each other. Sami nods and exits, going back to the barrier as Cody’s music starts back up.

– Nikki Cross and Carmella are backstage now. Carmella asks Cross where she’s been. Cross says playing with her new friends. Carmella asks what friends? Nevermind, forget about it. Carmella just wants to get through tonight and focus on Saturday. Carmella asks about their other teammate, and Asuka appears in her mask. Cross and Asuka are both laughing now with Carmella in the middle. She says they’re both so weird, then she walks off. Cross and Asuka stare at each other. Candice LeRae walks up and asks Cross why she keeps following her around. Cross just laughs at her, then walks off.

– Still to come, a RAW vs. SmackDown six-woman match. Back to commercial.

– Back from the break and Cathy Kelley is with Baron Corbin again. He says he’s better off without WWE Hall of Famer JBL, who was just giving him advice while hobbling around in his stupid cowboy hat. He says JBL is a has-been, in the past, so forget about him. Corbin says it’s time to remind people who he is. He’s sick of being disrespected. Corbin knocks Cathy for interrupting his interview to go to Sami Zayn in the ring. He goes on about how Sami can’t beat Roman Reigns, and how he was the last person who actually beat Reigns. Corbin says he would’ve won the Royal Rumble if he wasn’t blind-sided by Brock Lesnar, then he would’ve went to WrestleMania to beat Reigns again. He knocks Cody Rhodes for winning, and says Reigns will walk through him as well.

We see Cody walking through the curtain behind Corbin as Corbin continues taking shots. He stops to listen. Corbin isn’t impressed with Cody and doesn’t know why people are. Corbin says Cody is a joke, so his brother, so was his father, and so is his dog… Cody attacks Corbin from behind and fights him into the Gorilla Position.

Rollins goes on and says even Miz loves that WrestleMania dream, but Paul doesn’t. Rollins says Paul is selfish, and soulless, and all he cares about is lining his own pockets, getting famous at anyone’s expense, and the reason he doesn’t want to say Paul’s name in a WWE ring is because he doesn’t deserve it.

She sent a strong-worded letter to Pearce’s manager after what’s happened in recent weeks. Pearce says the letters came to him because he runs both shows, he’s the one who responded and said he would take her complaints under advisement. Green says then she’s sure Pearce will treat her like the star she is. She says she wasn’t ready for Asuka last week and wants a re-do. Green says she deserves to be in the Elimination Chamber so why not put her in tonight’s Triple Threat main event. Pearce says that’s not happening.
