In-Ring: Bobby Lashley, MVP, Brock Lesnar

A video kicks off the show highlighting Bobby Lashley defeating Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship this past Saturday at the WWE Royal Rumble following an attack by WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Paul Heyman turned his back on Lesnar as well. About an hour and a half later, Brock Lesnar entered the Royal Rumble match and won it.

We go live into the Heritage Bank Center to see a big fireworks display. “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey will appear on the show tonight. She won the 30-Woman Royal Rumble match this past Saturday.

WWE Official Adam Pearce is in the ring. Pearce welcomes everyone to the show and puts over the Royal Rumble. We saw the return of “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey. Bobby Lashley became the WWE Champion, and we saw decimation by “The Beast” Brock Lesnar. On the way to WrestleMania, there is a roadblock in the form of the Elimination Chamber. WWE Champion Bobby Lashley will step into that Chamber and defend the title.

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley’s music hits, and The All Mighty makes his way to the ring alongside MVP. They get in the ring. MVP says that is not how this works. Lashley pinned Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. Lashley went to hell and back to do it and now he has to do it again? That’s not fair to put Lashley in the Elimination Chamber. This is the All Mighty. Putting Lashley in the Elimination Chamber is wrong. What the hell is wrong with Pearce? Lashley asks Pearce who the hell he thinks he is. He’s supposed to be out celebrating beating Brock Lesnar. Lashley is a better amateur wrestler, better MMA fighter, and better WWE Champion. Everyone thought The Beast couldn’t be slain, but he did it. Lashley says they can look at the footage. Who is the conqueror now? Who is The Beast now? Who is the champion now? Lashley holds up the title and says, “Bobby Lashley!”

Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and the former WWE Champion and 2022 Royal Rumble winner comes out to a big ovation. Lesnar is dressed to compete! Lesnar is smiling as he circles the ring and fist bumps some fans. MVP goes to speak, but Lesnar tells him to shut up or he’ll stick his cane up his ass. Lesnar calls Lashley, “Bobby Who.” Lesnar says, “Bob, you’re gonna stand here and pretend like you’re the champion? Come on, Bobby!” Lesnar asks where his pride is. Lashley didn’t beat him on Saturday night. Where’s the pride in that? Lesnar says Lashley knows the only way he beat him on Saturday is because of Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. Lesnar isn’t mad at Lashley. It’s all good. Lesnar is mad at Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. After that little debacle of a wrestling match they had, which was good, he took it upon himself and entered the Royal Rumble. News flash: Brock Lesnar won the Royal Rumble! The crowd roars in approval.

Lesnar laughs and slaps his knee. When you win the Royal Rumble as he did, Brock Lesnar gets to choose who he fights at WrestleMania. Lashley has no need to worry. It’s not him.

At WrestleMania, he’s going to face Roman Reigns. Where Lashley fits in here is his match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania will be title for title. Lashley isn’t clear. Lesnar says he’s dressed to fight. Because he’s standing here dressed to fight, he challenges Lashley for his rematch right here in this ring in Cincinnati!

Lashley is fired up. Lashley says he pinned Lesnar once and will do it again. Lesnar tells him to take his $5 suit off and fight him. Lesnar says Lashley isn’t a champion since his manager is holding him back. MVP says after he conferred with the WWE Champion, the All Mighty says Lesnar can go to the back of the line and earn his shot. That challenge is declined. The crowd loudly boos. Lesnar says Lashley is nothing but a “chicken shit”! Lashley is irate! Lashley thinks about it before walking off. Lesnar knocks MVP down as he leaves the ring. Lesnar screams “chicken shit” over and over again at Lashley.

Pearce says Lashley may have denied Cincinnati of a WWE Championship match, but he will defend the title at Elimination Chamber against five other superstars. Lesnar screams that he wants in. Pearce confirms that Lesnar will be in the Elimination Chamber match. Lesnar is fired up.

In-Ring: Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins

Kevin Owens welcomes everyone to The Kevin Owens Show. Owens talks about the excitement of the Royal Rumble and new WWE Champion Bobby Lashley. We are on the road to the most stupendous two-night WrestleMania event of all time. That’s double the stupendousness. Owens has a Road to WrestleMania scoop. Owens says he is in the Elimination Chamber match… as soon as he beats that protected, sheltered, wannabe superstar Austin Theory. Owens will do that.

Owens has a guest that should be standing here right now as the Universal Champion. Owens introduces Seth “Freakin” Rollins to the ring. Rollins comes out to a nice ovation from the crowd. Owens thanks Rollins for being on the show. They sit down. Rollins is excited to be in Cincinnati and wouldn’t miss it despite not being 100%. Owens says he had a rough night at the Royal Rumble and wants the footage shown.

Video Package: Seth “Freakin” Rollins def. Roman Reigns via DQ at the Royal Rumble. Reigns viciously beat Rollins down with a chair much like Rollins did to him in 2014.

Rollins looks disgusted and the crowd boos the footage. Owens says what Reigns did in that title match was disgusting and shameful. Reigns got intentionally disqualified because he knew he couldn’t beat Rollins and knew Rollins would beat him. While Rollins might not officially be the Universal Champion, Rollins is the Universal Champion of Owens’ heart. Rollins smirks and says that means a lot to him. Rollins cackles and stands up. While he is not here with the Universal Championship, he did acquire something else. That is a permanent piece of real estate in the brain of Roman Reigns. Rollins can go back there whenever he wants. When he does, he’ll bring back the Universal Championship.

That is SmackDown business, but this is Monday Night Raw. Rollins says it has come to his attention that the new champion Bobby Lashley is defending his title inside the Elimination Chamber in a few weeks. Rollins came to Owens’ show with a special announcement about the match. Owens looks confused. Rollins has a drumroll played and says he’ll be in the Elimination Chamber. Owens pretends to be happy but isn’t actually happy. Owens says he has a match against Austin Theory. Owens asks where Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville are.

Riddle starts to coast to the finish line, but Otis flattens him with an avalanche. Gable notices what’s going on, gets on the scooter, circles Riddle, and easily crosses the finish line.

Riddle says that wasn’t cool. There was no integrity in that Scooter Race. Gable shushes Riddle. Do his cauliflower ears deceive him or is Riddle calling him a cheater? Gable says he’s never cheated at anything in his life. Gable didn’t cheat to get on the Olympic team and didn’t cheat to get his Master’s Degree with a 4.0 GPA.

In-Ring: Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, Lita

“Rowdy” Ronda Rousey makes her way to the ring to a big ovation. She doesn’t look like she’s in any mood for fun. Rousey says she’s been debating since Saturday whose title she wants to take. Should it be Charlotte’s or Rebecca’s? She could choose Rebecca, but he attention is a compliment she doesn’t deserve. The biggest fight with any woman at any time is always with her. Rebecca’s stagnating title reign isn’t her problem. She could choose Charlotte just to prove that even as a contender, not even a champion – yet – that Rebecca is still on her undercard. Then Charlotte will know, Rebecca will know, that the baddest big time bitch is her.

Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch comes out laughing and calls her “Ronnie the little weirdo.” Lynch says that Rousey hasn’t changed. Rousey loses credibility with statements like that. Rousey talks about her being on the undercard when she’s the only person in the company that beat her. She wasn’t sure Rousey would ever come back. Everyone knows the biggest match of the decade will be Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch. Seeing as this is Rousey’s first WrestleMania back, she could see her going for an appetizer in Charlotte Flair. If she wants the meat and potatoes right away, then Lynch is game. Rousey should decide soon because the Raw Women’s Division has never been hotter. She wants to know who she’s going to beat next. Time is money. Who is it going to be?

Lynch says the people want to know who it’s going to be. Rousey takes Lynch down with an arm throw and says she’ll give Lynch her answer on Friday. Lynch looks furious. Rousey quickly walks off. Lynch says that was rude. It’s official: Ronda Rousey fears Becky Lynch. Maybe she wanted to get out of Cincinnati as quickly as she does. Rousey can run…

Lita’s music hits, and the WWE Hall of Famer makes her way to the ring. Lita sarcastically says that was so rude of Rousey. Lynch says she’s been saying for four years that Rousey is rude. A “Lita” chant picks up. Lita says she doesn’t know how Rousey could talk to the G.O.A.T. like that. Lita says Lynch has set the Women’s Division on fire. It’s never been hotter. Lynch says she loved Lita growing up. Lita says Lynch is a fighting champion and never backs down from a challenge. Lynch asks what she’s getting at here. Lita says she was thinking about facing Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber. Lynch says, “Um, no.”

A “YES” chant picks up. Lita says Lynch never backs down from a challenge and this is a challenge. Lynch says Lita is taking her words out of context and this situation doesn’t apply. Lita says if she’s scared, she can just say so. Lynch says she’s many things, but none of them are scared. Lynch agrees to face Lita at Elimination Chamber. Lita is happy and walks off. Lynch looks like she immediately regretted making that statement.
