At WWE Elimination Chamber, The Miz emerged just moments after WWE Champion Drew McIntyre had survived the Elimination Chamber and suffered a post-match ambush from The Hurt Business’ Bobby Lashley. Without warning, he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and pinned the Scottish Superstar to claim the WWE Title for the second time in his career.
Back on Raw, however, Lashley and MVP emerged to collect on a deal that The All Mighty had apparently made with The A-Lister: He would help Miz become WWE Champion, and Lashley would be first in line for a WWE Title opportunity.
When The A-Lister attempted to delay that matchup and Braun Strowman barged his way into the conversation, Shane McMahon ruled that if The Monster Along Men could defeat Lashley in a main event contest, he would be added to The All Mighty’s title showdown against Miz on the Feb. 29 edition of the red brand. The Chief Hurt Officer, though, overcame Strowman to cement his one-on-one matchup for the gold, tonight at 8/7 C on Raw.
