WWE RAW Results – June 21, 2021 – We’re live from the WWE ThunderDome at Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, as Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, and Corey Graves hype the Money In The Bank qualifying matches for later tonight.
— The VIP Lounge is set up in the ring so that means we are going to start wtih WWE Champion Bobby Lashley along with Montel Vontavious Porter and the Lashley Ladies League.
MVP welcomes us and lets Lashley talk. Lashley says they went through hell last night and Drew almost took him to his limit, but even at his best, Drew isn’t good enough to beat him. Porter says Drew will never be the same after that beatdown last night. Drew can never challenge you for the WWE Championship. Porter says he sees two alpha males and five females. With a bottle of champagne, that means it is right for a party. Porter asks for a toast to Bobby Lashley.
The music for the New Day plays and Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods make their way to the ring and ntey have a tray with toast.
Kofi says they wanted to participate in the toast. Woods and Kofi toss toast into the ring.
Porter calls them clowns and that is why they were not on the pay per view. You will be cosplaying with your little friend once we return in front of live crowds.
Kofi says it is well documented that he surrounds himself with his family and friends, people he trusts, instead of users. Kofi asks Bob if MVP and his lady friends will be coming around after I beat you for that title.
Lashley says he has nothing to worry about because he is not losing the title, especially to someone like you. Someone who dances and likes making pancakes. You lost this. There is a hierarchy in this world. I am up here while you and your little friend are down here.
Kofi says you forgot about the fact that I beat Daniel Bryan to become the WWE Champion at Wrestlemania. I beat you in this ring. You want to act like you don’t remember. That is why I brought the footage.
Kofi says the last time he checked, Bob Lashley does not have an opponent at Money in the Bank. I am here to challenge you for the championship.
Porter asks Kofi if he is kidding and Lashley accepts. Is that what you want? You forgot to show Drew hitting me with the cane and that is the only reason you won. We need to make sure that the match is one on one. Lashley suggests a match against Kofi’s little clown in crime video game playing friend, Xavier Woods.
Woods says Bobby is not the first or the last to say something like that. You don’t have the mental acuity to understand a renaissance man like me. You don’t see me on the same level as Kofi, and he shuts Porter up. Big E won the IC title and I was there when Kofi won the WWE Title. Woods mentions his accomplishments and he reminds them that he is an 11 time tag team champion. Underestimate me so the ass whipping I will give you tonight is a lot sweeter.
Woods says the match will be inside Hell in a Cell. Lashley accepts the challenge.
We go to commercial.
