WWE RAW Results – February 22, 2021

WWE RAW Results – February 22, 2021 – We begin with a look back at the Elimination Chamber from last night when Drew McIntyre successfully defended the WWE Championship only to be outsmarted by Miz who had Bobby Lashley attack Drew to allow Miz to successfully cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase.

— We’re live from the ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, where John Morrison is in the ring with a lot of balloons and he introduces the new WWE Champion, The Miz, who comes out to mostly boos. Miz raises the WWE Title on the ramp as the big pyro goes off. He enters the ring and more pyro goes off when he raises the title. Miz welcomes everyone to MizTV as the boos get louder.

Miz asks how do you like him now?  Sixteen years ago, I set foot inside a WWE ring for the first time and people said I would be fired within three months.  Sixteen years later I stand in the ring on the flagship show in the WWE as WWE Champion.  All of the top superstars of his generation have come and gone and I am still here standing.  I have taken them out.  Batista and John Cena.  You name them and they don’t stand up to me.  Triple H, Bobby Lashley, Daniel Bryan, and Edge do not stand up to his star power and his attitude.

Speaking of Edge, if you want to play high stakes poker, here is my Royal Flush.  I am the Babe Ruth of WWE.  I told Drew that I would cash in and beat him and that is what I did.  Everyone thought they knew what would happen on the Road to Wrestlemania, but the Miz put up a roadblock.  Miz says he is the only two time grand slam champion in the history of the business.  That means I have held every title on Raw mutliple times.  I hold this title because I deserve it.  I did not ask for your respect, I demanded it.

The music interrupts and out comes Bobby Lashley and MVP. Lashley is wearing a white suit and MVP is in a blue suit, using a crutch to get around.

MVP congratulates Miz on his title win, on behalf of The Hurt Business. MVP brings up Miz’s accomplishments and says he forgot to mention how Lashley destroyed Drew McIntyre last night before his win. Miz says he was getting to that. He thanks them both but says he and Morrison have more celebrating to do. MVP and Lashley aren’t leaving. MVP asks Miz if they want to reveal the terms of their business arrangement. Morrison helped Lashley lose the United States Title, and now Miz owes Lashley to make it right. Lashley tells Miz he owes him a shot and Miz agrees, but adds that he never said when that would happen. Miz rants about how busy he is and says there is just no time right now.

Lashley ends up grabbing Miz by his tie. Lashley says they made a deal and Miz has one hour to give him what he wants, or he will be sent to the emergency room. Lashley says one way or another he’s taking the WWE Title from Miz and it will be painful, merciless, and… awesome. Lashley and MVP stare Miz and Morrison down as the music starts back up. Tom says Miz has one hour to grant the WWE Title match, or else.
