In the Arena:
Elias is in the ring. He says there will be no other introduction tonight. You could have been walking out with the new tag team champions but it is Jaxson Ryker’s fault. If he had done what he said, they would be champions. Jaxson became completely unhinged. For his career and sanity, he had to get away.
Elias says he had no choice. The first time he met Jaxson, he didn’t see this unbridled potential. He looked into Ryker’s cold eyes and he saw the ghosts of war. He saw a man who would go into battle, but not someone who would go to battle for me. I walked out on Ryker, but that does not mean there is a universal truth and that is WWE stands for Walk With Elias.
Jaxson Ryker (now sporting short hair and black beard) attacks Elias from behind with his new ‘is that Miro’ look. Ryker throws the guitar up the ramp and then he continues the attack until referees can pull Ryker off.

— We take a look back at last week’s number one contender match between Kofi Kingston and Drew McIntyre.

Drew says we are not going to wait for Lashley. Drew says that Lashley will walk out with his external charisma, the suit, MVP, and the Lashley Train.
Then he will talk about how many opportunities he has had. Drew says there was a Scottish King named Robert the Bruce. Scotland was under control and he had some defeats in his first year. He retreated into a cave and he saw a spider that tried to spin a web. Finally, that web stuck and the spider made a home for himself. Robert figured he would give it another chance. He won Scotland it’s freedom. He said If at first you don’t succeed… Beat Lashley for the title at Hell in a Cell.

Drew says he accepts Drew says he will never fight Lashley again for the WWE Championship if he loses. Drew says he wants a match with no outside interference to cause the finish. He wants where no one else can lose on his behalf. He wants this match inside Hell in a Cell.
Porter says that Lashley accepts your terms.
They sign the contract (that does not have the changes that were just agreed to).
Lashley says it is admirable that Drew has gone back to his Scottish Roots. The saying ends If at first you don’t succeed, you lose again to Bobby Lashley and you tuck your tail under your kilt and you walk away.
Drew says he has some last words and advice for Lashley. Drew says after Hell in a Cell you are never the same and that is the case. I fell 15 feet off the cell through a table. I still feel it today. I wam willing to go through that again and inflict punishment on you like you have never felt before. I will use the cell and whatever is beneath the ring. You can pray and beg for mercy but it won’t help. I will win back my championship. See you in hell.
Lashley says he will beat Drew there. As Lashley prepares to leave with his girl, Drew gets his sword and he splits the table in half.
Backstage:
Sarah Schreiber is in the back with Nikki Cross. Sarah asks Nikki what has gotten into her after her last two victories (outlasting her opponent for 2 minutes).

Sarah asks Nikki if she has chosen a partner. Nikki says it is someone she has admired. It is someone who looks like a superhero. Out comes Asuka with her “nobody is ready for Asuka!”.

He watched Kofi win the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. He had tears in his eyes because they go back to Deep South. Seeing you with your sons in the ring triggered me to come back. WWE had a champion that he could relate to and be proud of.
KofiMania was everything and it went away. Do you know why that happened? You are not like Bobby Lashley. I thought I saw a glimpse of the Kofi Kingston who could be champion, then you lost to Drew and you shook his hands. You were comfortable being a loser. There are no friends. This is show business. He says Kofi wants to be in the back shucking and grinning, and Kofi yells at Porter.
Kofi says his family and friends give him the motivation. He says he does this because there is someone at home who wants to be like Kofi. What does Lashley do this for? Porter says Lashley does this for the title and everything that comes with it.

I had to put in a lot of dedication to get where I am. Now it is time to practice what I preach. The ability to inspire others comes from showing up to be seen. I will show the WWE Universe a side of me they have never seen. Eva-Lution is coming to Raw… Next week!
