By Richard Trionfo on 2022-05-23 23:00:00

Your announcers are Corey Graves, Jimmy Smith, and Byron Saxton.

We begin with a look at the crowning of a single tag team champion on the main roster when the Usos defeated Randy Orton and Riddle.

Riddle makes his way to the ring.

Riddle says he is here with a heavy heart.  Randy is his best friend, mentor, and dude.  He says to be honest, the last couple of years have been hard for Randy.  The last couple of months, even though they were having the time of their lives, Randy has been having a real hard time.  His back has been giving a real hard time.  Last week, before their title match, Randy could barely watch.  He knew Randy wouldn't let him down because of how much the match meant to him.  He knew how much it meant to you.

Riddle reminds everyone that they lost on Friday night.  The Usos are one hell of a team.  They are tough and they have done it all.  Riddle says his hat is off to The Usos.  To have Roman, that piece of trash, do that on Friday, he is a tribal piece of trash.  Riddle assures everyone he will get his vengeance on Roman, Jey, Jimmy, and anyone else who is part of the Bloodline. 

Riddle says that he knows Randy has done a lot for him and has done more for him tnan anyone else.  Riddle tells Randy that he loves him.  To be honest, Riddle says he does not know what the future holds for the team.  He does not know if it will be a thing again.  

We go to commercial.

Jimmy and Jey are on the TitanTron and they ask how will the people react to their introduction.  Jey says the people will be hating on them for doing what they said they did and became the tag team champions.

We take a look back at last week's steel cage match.

Bobby Lashley, without his platform, makes his way to the ring.

We are back and Bobby Lashley says he survived a steel cage match against a giant.  When the referee came down and raised my hand in victory I looked at that giant and I saw the anger and defeat in his face.  I knew that we were far from over.  We have so much more to fight about.  I wasn't surprised to know that me and the Nigerian Giant would be doing it one more time at Hell in a Cell.  

Tonight is the All Mighty Challenge.  I am sure that MVP and Omos would like to know about this.  Lashley invites Omos and MVP to come out to hear about this challenge.

Porter and Omos make their way to the ring.

Porter says they are not a pair of dogs who come running when they are called.  You might be the Top Gun, but he is Maverick.  We saw the Nigerian Giant throw you around the cage.  If it wasn't for some faulty equipment, you wouldn't have won that match.  Porter says he has filed a compliant.

Lashley tells Porter to shut up.  A regular match with regular stipulations will not be enough to finish what we have.  Tonight, we will have a match and the winner picks the stipulation for the match at Hell in a Cell.

Porter says Lashley barely survived the last time.

Lashley tells Porter to hush until they are finished.  Tonight, we still have some unfinished business . . . MVP.  My challenge is me versus you and the winner selects the stipulation for the match at Hell in a Cell.

Lashley asks Porter if he is confused or scared.  

Porter says he made Lashley so it is only fitting that I am responsible for your downfall.  I will pick a stipulation that not even the All Mighty can overcome.

Lashley asks Porter when was the last time he won a match?  If anybody made anybody, I made you.  I will tear Omos apart at Hell in a Cell, but I will put you in the Hurt Lock tonight.

Omos and Porter walk to the ring and they surround Lashley.  Porter gets on the apron and Lashley knocks him off.  Omos checks on Porter.

We see what happened between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley two weeks ago on Raw.
