WWE Raw Results
June 21, 2021
Tampa, Florida (Yuengling Center)
Commentary: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton
Results by: Mike Tedesco of Wrestleview.com

“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE: Together video leads us into the show.

We go live into the WWE ThunderDome to see a pyrotechnics display. The Money in the Bank briefcases are shown hanging about the ring. We’ll have 5 Money in the Bank Qualifying Matches tonight. The Hell in a Cell structure is also above the ring.

WWE Champion Bobby Lashley makes his way to the ring with MVP and the ladies. MVP welcomes everyone to the VIP Lounge, which is for people better than you. Lashley says he and Drew McIntyre fought like hell, but even at his best McIntyre couldn’t beat him. MVP says the most important thing is McIntyre cannot face you for the WWE Championship ever again. A photo is shown of Lashley holding up the WWE Championship last night, as a defeated McIntyre looked on. MVP calls for a toast to the All Mighty WWE Champion.

The New Day’s music hits. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods come out with a trolley with toast on top. Kingston says they wanted to participate in the toast. MVP says the circus is in town. Kingston says this is actual toast. The New Day throws the toast at Lashley and MVP. MVP says this clown nonsense is exactly why Kingston was watching Hell in a Cell instead of being in the main event. Kingston is a clown and belongs in the circus. Once they get back in front of crowds, Kingston can be a court jester with his friend while they enjoy the finer things in life. Kingston says they ain’t going nowhere. It’s well documented that he surrounds himself with friends and family rather than users. Kingston has a question for “Bob.” Does he really think MVP and the ladies will be hanging around him if he loses the title? Lashley says he’ll never lose the title. Kingston is too busy making pancakes rather than focusing on the title. There’s a hierarchy and Kingston is super low. Kingston says he beat Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship. Lashley also forgets that Kingston beat him. Footage is shown from last month of Kingston beating Lashley after interference from Drew McIntyre. The McIntyre interference wasn’t shown.

Kingston says Lashley does not have an opponent at the Money in the Bank PPV. Kingston challenges Lashley for the WWE Championship. MVP says Kingston must be kidding, but Lashley breezily accepts the challenge. Lashley says Kingston left out the part where McIntyre interfered. Lashley wants to make sure Money in the Bank has no interference, so he wants to face Xavier Woods tonight. Woods says everyone underestimates him, but he’s got many subscribers on YouTube, is a G4 host, and is an 11-time WWE World Tag Team Champion. He accepts Lashley’s challenge, but he wants it inside Hell in a Cell. Lashley thinks about it and says he accepts.

-Commercial Break-

It’s official: for the first time in nearly 25 years, a Hell in a Cell match will happen on Raw. Xavier Woods will face WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.
