WWE RAW REPORT: REMATCHES, NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCHES, LOTS OF TALK SHOWS, AND ARE WE SEEING RETRIBUSINESS?

By Richard Trionfo on 2021-04-12 23:00:00

We are back and MVP is in the ring.

Porter says this is an official announcement from the Hurt Business.  Bobby Lashley will be joining us shortly but I will address you.  Saturday at Wrestlemania, Bobby Lashley retained his championship and all he wanted to do today was celebrate his victory and be with you.  Drew McIntyre is an absolute warrior.  He is one of the most dominant WWE champions and a fearsome individual.  Drew took his eye off the target for a moment and it cost him.  It is okay to be number two when Bobby Lashley is number one.  It is a matter of time until Lashley applies the Hurt Lock and it is over.  We saw Drew McIntyre passed out.  Is he walking around with his head held high?  He can barely hold his head up.

If Drew McIntyre cannot handle the pressure of the hurt lock, who can?  No one.

Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring and he is dressed for a fight.  

Drew asks how would MVP know how he feels.  I knew Wrestlemania was going to come down to a few things.  Claymore, Hurt Lock, and who makes the first mistake.  I made that first mistake when I allowed you to distract me and cost me the match.  When Lashley cinches in that Hurt Lock, it is over.  There is not a man on this Earth who can humble Drew McIntyre.  You are at the top of the world and I want you to keep on that path.  Keep him in the fancy suits and the pretty sunglasses.  Milk that cash cow and kissing that ass.  I want his head as big as possible because I will get my rematch and when I connect with that Claymore, I want him to fall as hard as he can and then look up at the new champion Drew McIntyre.

Porter says even Drew can respect this.  Nothing around here is given . . . 

Braun Strowman comes out and MVP tells Drew to get his ass to the back of the line.  Porter wants to know why Braun is here.

Braun says he agrees with Porter and that since Drew lost, he goes to the back of the line.  Braun reminds us that he beat Shane McMahon inside a steel cage.  

Porter . . . 

is interrupted by Randy Orton.

Randy says the Fiend and Alexa Bliss are finished and no more so that means no more mind games.  It means I can focus on what I am great at, being the Legend Killer, the Apex Predator, and the Viper.  It is time for me to become the WWE Champion.

Adam Pearce comes out and he says that Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, and Randy Orton will be in a Number One Contender Match to face Bobby Lashley at Backlash.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Drew McIntyre walks in the back and Braun Strowman stops him.  He says that Drew saw what he did to Shane McMahon.  Drew says he saw it, but this isn't a cage match.  Braun asks Drew if he is insulting his intelligence and he reminds Drew of what happened to the last one who tried that.  He says Drew is in his way for a shot at the title so there is an ass kicking coming your way.

Elias and Jaxson Ryker are in the ring.  He says he would like to make sure that Shane McMahon gets the respect he deserves for his valiant effort against Braun Strowman at Wrestlemania.  He has a song for Shane and his bravery.

A trombone sounds and Elias is not sure what the problem is (even though he is scheduled to wrestle the New Day).

Kofi says he hears Elias out here making this apology to Shane but why aren't you apologizing to the Raw Tag Team Division the way you disgraced it.  You two men got your sorry behinds whooped by one man.  Woods says you hate to see that.  He says if that happened to them, you wouldn't see our faces around here.  He says they should be ashamed for what happened on Sunday.

Elias asks if they didn't get beaten by one man because that is what Omos did to them.

Match Number Six:  Jaxson Ryker and Elias versus Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods

Elias with a Falcon Arrow onto Ryker's knee for a near fall.  Ryker with a camel clutch.  Kofi tags in and hits a clothesline off the turnbuckles followed by clotheslines and a drop kick.  Kofi with a stomp for a near fall.  Kofi with a Boom Drop and then he sets for Trouble in Paradise but Ryker gets in the way and Kofi stops him.  Woods takes care of Ryker but Kofi misses Trouble in Paradise.  Woods makes the tag and they hit a double stomp after a backbreaker for the three count.

WInners:  Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods

Randy Orton says for the past six months, I have been distracted but that ended last night.  I was distracted by Alexa Bliss and the Fiend.  It appears that they have disappeared and I have to focus on the WWE Title.  I have to go through Drew Mcintyre tonight.  I have to go through Braun Strowman tonight.

The FIREFLY FUN HOUSE
