WWE RAW Results – April 19, 2021 – We’re live from the WWE ThunderDome at Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, as Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring to start the show.
Drew says an opportunity is a hell of a thing. You can make your own opportunities and make things happen. Some times, opportunity falls into your lap. I had a war of words with MVP last week and I told him I would get my rematch. That triggered people in the back and then Braun Strowman came out and said ME WANT TITLE SHOT. Randy Orton slithered to the ring and he talked about wanting a title match. Then Adam Pearce made the number one contender match. His chance to earn the right to get back his championship. He beat two of the top contenders and he is the number one contender.
With opportunity, you can dive into the deep end and grab the bull by the horns. Let’s talk about Mace and T-Bar. They decided to make their name at the expense of Drew McIntyre. He knows they are not the mastermind of this situation. Drew says he knows it was MVP. Why did those monsters join with MVP? Will they start wearing suits and get rid of those masks? When he gets his hands on those bastards, he will get some retribution.
MVP’s music plays and he comes to the stage.
Porter says Drew didn’t expect him to come out to address those comments? You didn’t expect Bobby Lashley to put you to sleep at Wrestlemania. Porter tells Drew to expect the unexpected. Porter wishes Drew a warm and sincere congratulations on behalf of Bobby Lashley because Drew will be a worthy challenger to beat again at Backlash when he puts Drew to sleep again.
Drew wants Porter to tell him that he had nothing to do with that attack last week.
Porter says Bobby Lashley is the Chief Hurt Officer and Porter says he is the Vice President. Bobby downsized the Hurt Business previously. Why did they recruit someone else when he could beat Drew by himself. Drew points out how Lashley was looking for everyone to take him out prior to Wrestlemania. Porter says Mace and T-Bar have ZERO affiliation with the Hurt Business. Maybe you made some enemies when you challenged the locker room. Drew says maybe you are telling the truth and it is a HUGE COINCIDENCE that you came out to the stage after I won and Mace and T-Bar attacked me.
T-BAR and Mace bring Drew into the ring as fans boo. They deliver High Justice in the middle of the ring as MVP watches from the bottom of the ramp. T-BAR and Mace then exit the ring and walk right past MVP without saying anything. MVP smirks and watches as Drew tries to recover in the ring.
