RAW

Monday Night RAW is live and Corey Graves and Adam Pearce are in the ring for the weigh-in. Pearce welcomes us to the show, then introduces the All Mighty Bobby Lashley, accompanied by MVP.

Before Corey Graces can introduce his challenger, Paul Heyman walks out onto the stage. Heyman says he’s tired of people stealing his schtick, and so he introcuces the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, as only he can. Lesnar comes out wearing a cowboy hat and does a lap of the ring before getting inside and staring at Lashley.

Graves tells Brock is attire is not right for a weigh-in and Brock asks if he’d rather him naked? Lashley is the first man onto the scale and clocks in at 273lbs. MVP says that’s 273lbs of killing machine. Bottled lightning. More God than man. Something Brock won’t be able to contend with come Saturday night. Some said that match would never take place but Bobby knew it was inevitable. And after the Royal Rumble Lashley will actually gain some weight, the exact weight of the title belt.

Lesnar takes of his hat and gives it to Heyman, then he steps on the scale and weighs-in at 286lbs. Lashley says this is pissing him off because Brock isn’t taking it seriously. Lesnar just laughs. Lashley says this will be the shortest title reign of Brock’s career, and that’s not a prediction… it’s a spoiler. Lesnar says Lashley is the real comedian. Brock says picture this: on Sunday morning, hot off the press, Bobby Lashley beats Brock Lesnar with The Hurt Lock, and we have a new Champion. Bobby who? Lesnar leaves with Heyman and Lashley isn’t happy.
