RAW Results: MITB qualifiers get underway; Lashley destroys former Tag Team Champion
RAW kicked off with the WWE Champ, Bobby Lashley, coming out to celebrate last night's title defense with MVP and the rest of his entourage. The VIP Lounge was back on RAW and Lashley gloated about his title win, making sure Drew McIntyre does not get a title shot anytime soon.
They were just about to crack the champagne open when the New Day came out with a tray full of toast. They threw it at the ring before MVP called them clowns. Kingston said that MVP and the ladies were only around because Bobby Lashley was the champ and when he loses the gold, they would part ways with him.
Kofi ran the footage of him beating Lashley last month before challenging The All Mighty for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank. Lashley accepted before saying that Kofi only won with the help of McIntyre and Woods.
Lashley challenged Woods to a match tonight and Xavier went as far as to make it a Hell in a Cell match! Woods is in for a beatdown tonight...
