⭕ MAIN EVENT: Omos w/ MVP vs. Bobby Lashley: 11min*

Unafraid to go toe-to-toe with The Nigerian Giant, Bobby Lashley immediately started hammering Omos with right hands to try and chop down the giant, but as Lashley took his eyes off the prize to stare down MVP, he turned around into a big boot.

Omos sent The All Mighty flying to the arena floor before dropping Lashley face-first onto the turnbuckle and delivering another devastating boot to the head. Lashley finally created some separation before jumping onto Omos’ back in an attempt to put the big man to sleep. The Nigerian Giant shrugged him off, but Lashley continued to batter Omos, tying him up in the ropes and hammering away with right hands.

As MVP attempted to set his new client free, Lashley slid outside the ring to quickly lock in The Hurt Lock on his former manager before rolling back in to take out Omos’ knees and put an all mighty Hurt Lock on Omos. Lashley held on to the submission attempt with all his might, but Omos managed to power out and drub Lashley with a flurry of massive chops in the corner.

The All Mighty did not let up, though, catching Omos with a huge spinebuster. But as he went for a spear, The Nigerian Giant countered with a knee and tossed Lashley into the ringpost, where MVP delivered a quick shot with his cane while the referee had his back turned. Omos then hoisted up a stunned Lashley and planted him nearly through the mat for the pinfall to end Raw.
