In-Ring Segment: MVP
MVP gives Bobby Lashley a Paull Heyman-like intro. Lashley is given a hero’s welcome since this is his hometown. MVP puts over Lashley for defeating Brock Lesnar for slaying the Beast and taking back his WWE Championship. MVP says some are claiming Lashley only won because of Roman Reigns. It doesn’t matter, Lashley didn’t see any interference and if the roles were reversed, Lesnar would do the same. MVP says Lesnar earned his shot at Reigns by winning the Royal Rumble.
Lesnar is a fool if he thinks he will win the Elimination Chamber. Lashley says “the CHAMP lives here!” Lashley says he won’t be disrespected by Lesnar. In the end, Lashley wants it to come down to him and Lesnar in the Chamber. It’s not Lashley who is going to be locked in the Chamber with Lesnar, it’s Lesnar who will be locked in the Chamber with him. Lashley says Lesnar can go to WrestleMania and challenge for the Universal Championship. Lashley vows to defend the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.
