In-Ring: Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, Bobby Lashley, MVP, Hurt Business

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring alongside his advocate, Paul Heyman, to a huge response from the Philadelphia crowd.

Bobby Lashley and MVP are shown watching backstage. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin come up to them and say they’re glad to see Lashley back. Lashley says there is no more Hurt Business. The All Mighty works alone. They need to get out of here because he works alone.

Lesnar and Heyman are in the ring. “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and tonight, as his advocate, I have the honor and privilege to present to you the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World, Brock Lesnar!” Lesnar is pumped up and shouts, “Phila-FREAKIN-delphia!”

Before Lesnar can say much more, Bobby Lashley’s music hits. Lashley and MVP come out to the ring. MVP says it is his honor to present to you “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley. Lashley says it is an honor to finally be able to stand in the ring with Brock Lesnar. It is an honor to share this spotlight with Lesnar. As one super athlete to another super athlete, it is an honor to be able to look Lesnar right in the eye and, with all due respect, tell him that for 20 years Lesnar has been ducking and running from him. Lesnar laughs at Lashley. Lesnar says with all due respect, it’s an honor for him to be in the ring… with himself. Lesnar apologizes because, for the last 20 years, he’s been winning championships in this ring and other rings. This doesn’t fall on him. It falls on Lashley. Lesnar didn’t have a clue who he was until he met him at Day 1. It’s Lashley’s fault for not climbing the ladders of success and not entering the same arenas he’s been in. If Lashley had done that, they’d have already met and Lesnar would have already beaten him… with all due respect! Lesnar says Lashley and MVP are dressed really fancy.

Lashley chuckles and says Lesnar is a comedian. Lashley says at the Royal Rumble when he beats Lesnar for the title and Lesnar starts a tour as a stand-up comedian, they’ll be in the front row because he’s funny. Lesnar says he’s funny AND he’s money. Lesnar calls Heyman over and says, “Knock, knock.” Heyman says Lesnar is doing a “knock-knock” joke in Philadelphia and he thought he had seen it all. Heyman asks who is there. Lesnar says, “Bobby.” Heyman asks, “Bobby who?” Lesnar says, “Exactly!” The crowd laughs and chants, “Bobby who?” Lesnar says it’s impossible to beat him and it’s more impossible to beat him when Lashley is a Brock Lesnar wannabe. Lesnar drops the microphone and walks off with Heyman. Lashley looks insensed.

Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin attack Lashley from behind. Lashley immediately fights them off and crushes Alexander with a one-armed spinebuster. Lashley goes outside, lifts Benjamin, and drives him headfirst into the ring post. Lashley then drives Alexander into the barricade before lifting him and driving him headfirst into the ring post. Lashley leaves Alexander and Benjamin down in a heap at ringside. Lashley has a cut on his left cheek.
