In the Arena:
MPV is in the ring and he introduces Denver’s own, Bobby Lashley, who receives a lot of love from the crowd.
Porter says they should have had a proper celebration last week because Bobby won the match that has been built for decades. Bobby Lashley slayed the beast and got back his WWE Championship. There are some who are saying Bobby only won because Roman Reigns interfered. Porter says he didn’t see that. Lesnar would have done the same thing. Brock wouldn’t have capitalized. In the end, Bobby Lashley pinned Brock Lesnar and stood victorious.
They should have had a tickertape parade last week with showgirls and bottles popping. Last week should have been Bobby Lashley Day. Instead, we got Adam Pearce telling Bobby he would have to defend his title in the Elimination Chamber. That brings us back to Brock.
Brock won the Royal Rumble. That was impressive since Bobby left him laying two hours earlier. Brock will face Roman Reigns, but Brock coming into the Elimination Chamber and taking the WWE Championship? That is pure fantasy. Bobby will leave the Elimination Chamber the same way he left the Royal Rumble, as WWE Champion. Porter says AJ and Rollins are two of the best while you have two who could be the future in Riddle and Austin Theory. Those are men.
When you talk about Lesnar and Lashley, you are talking about monsters. Lashley is the biggest and baddest monster of them all.
Bobby says the champ lives here. He says Brock disrespected him for the last time. Brock had his MMA gloves and demanded a rematch. You make demands of the All Mighty. Brock came in and demanded everything he never worked for. Bobby asks when was the last time Brock defended the WWE Championship? When was the last time Brock had a match on Raw? I won’t be disrespected. I hope it comes down to him and Brock in the Elimination Chamber so he can pin him again. It is not me locked in the chamber with Brock. Brock will be locked in the chamber with me.
When Brock wakes up in the hospital shaking from the sound of my name, he can challenge for the Universal Championship while I will be defending my title in the main event of Wrestlemania.

I was in there with Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. There was one person conspicuous by her absence so I went for broke. I made a challenge to Becky Lynch. I have wanted this match for a long time.

You showed what needed to be done to make it here. You never turned your nose down at me when others did. I am eternally grateful for that. Without Lita, there would be no Becky Lynch.
Now that there is a Becky Lynch, there can be no Lita. Do you have any idea how hurtful it is to have the person you looked up to trying to take everything from me. This is the most important time of the year. I have had to get rid of everything to get here. I got rid of friends. No problem. I got rid of the people. No problem. I will get rid of you. I have beaten everybody who got in my way. You helped bring me up, but I will have no problem putting you down.
Lita says that Becky has been beating everyone. You are the favorite, but that is why I am here. I have no problem being the underdog. I went out and chased my dreams. It was you guys who helped me become a four time champion. It is you who chanted my name from the day I came out here to live my dreams. I might not have had a title shot in 15 years, there is something that hasn’t changed. The WWE Universe supports me to this day. As long as they are here, there is still a Lita. I am okay with my odds. You have to be okay with how you feel when I walk out of the Elimination Chamber as a five time champion.
