“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
We go live into the TD Garden. Tonight, Bobby Lashley will defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton. Big E also vows to cash in Money in the Bank.
Mr. Money in the Bank Big E makes his way to the ring to a big ovation. Soon after, Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro make their way to the ring. Orton will be challenging for the WWE Championship tonight, a match which Big E looms over largely. Finally, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and MVP make their way to the ring.
Big E says in case there is any confusion, he fully intends to cash in his Money in the Bank contract tonight. Riddle says it’s good to have Big E back on Raw. Riddle asks Big E not to cash in on Randy Orton since that’s his bro. MVP tells Riddle to shut his dumb ass up. Big E won’t cash in on Orton because Orton isn’t winning the WWE Championship tonight. On all the nights Big E could have shown up, he chose the wrong one. When Big E shows up, MVP is as happy to see him as anyone else. MVP laughs when Big E shakes his hips, but they’re not in a laughing mood. They’re supposed to be challenging for the Raw Tag Team Championship since they won Tag Team Turmoil last week, but Orton politicked his way into changing the WWE Championship match from Extreme Rules to tonight.
Orton says it’s been 14 long years since he’s fought Lashley. Orton doesn’t want to wait two more weeks. Orton knows there’s no conceivable way to throw Lashley off his game except change the date of the match. There was no politicking. Orton went to who he needed to go to and what he wanted because he is Randy Freakin’ Orton. Big E says we’ve got two big meaty men fighting tonight. A “Randy” chant picks up. MVP says he always believed Big E would win the WWE Championship first of the other clowns he hangs with, but it didn’t happen. MVP then thought going to SmackDown would get him going, and it did. Big E won Money in the Bank, but he ran to Raw when he got scared of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. Maybe Big E thinks the All Mighty is a pushover, but after seeing what Lashley does to Orton, he’ll prove it.
Orton says the fight is right here. All it takes is one RKO, and he’ll be WWE Champion. Big E then says he’ll cash it in on Orton to become the new WWE Champion. Lashley says Orton made the biggest mistake of his life because he’ll destroy him in the ring and pummel his weak body. If Big E comes close to him with the contract, he’ll shove it so far up his ass he’ll be able to taste the fine print. Big E holds the briefcase up, so Lashley swats it out of his hand. Orton then drops Lashley with an RKO! Orton celebrates big time.
