[APPLAUSE] >> Remember,
it has been months going back to the Elimination Chamber a couple months ago.
Wait a minute, Strowman, looking to end this.
Lashley able to or pays for it.
>> As we've seen throughout the night, Strowman and Lashley,
certainly no strangers to one another, have destroyed themselves,
have destroyed each other have destroyed the set.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And there's MVP, and MVP by the way,
he was describing Bobby Lashley as Floyd Mayweather-esque,
both have very high fight IQs, they can quickly size up opponents, and
find their weaknesses instantly.
>> I had MVP on my podcast After the Bell this weekend.
MVP said the thing that separates Lashley from other competitors is Bobby Lashley is
happy when he is in the midst of combat.
That is where Bobby chooses to be happy in the heat of battle.
>> All right,
I liked your lions won MVP is like the parsley to Bobby Lashley's filet mignon.
>> His boot right on the jaw of Strowman, now this time Strowman taken off his feet.
>> Hooks the leg.
>> 385 pounds worth of Strowman.
>> Just looking at the way Lashley's struggling at the moment, I don't know
that it's possible for Bobby Lashley to lock in the hurt lock on Strowman.
My goodness.
>> Wait a second, we've got another interested party.
The other man who will be vying for
the WWE Championship has WrestleMania Backlash, Drew McIntyre.
>> Gonna focus on the task at hand, Bobby Lashley.
Strowman not happy with the presence of Drew McIntyre.
>> Drew knows exactly what he's doing.
>> [SOUND] >> Bobby from behind down goes
Braun Strowman.
>> Lashley able to take advantage of the appearance of McIntyre.
>> [NOISE] >> Lashley wants some love, tap it up.
>> Look at Lashley now just trying to dissect Braun Strowman,
knee to the ribs just mangling the face of the Monster Among Men.
>> This just speaks to how dangerous Bobby Lashley is.
How many superstars do you know who can ground and control Braun Strowman-
>> [CROSSTALK]
>> Pay attention to the match.
>> Certainly tense over here at the commentary table MVP-
>> Don't worry about me,
I'm just hanging out.
>> Hey, [INAUDIBLE] >> Inside the ring,
Lashley doing the work.
On the outside, the mind games have begun.
Drew, do you have a contingency plan for the involvement of MVP?
>> There's many a Backlash I allowed myself to be distracted, never
again in my entire career will anyone ever distract me again, especially MVP.
>> MVP said about this match, a bone will break and so will his will.
As right now, Bobby Lashley applying the pressure to Braun Strowman.
>> Lashley just grinding at the face of Strowman,
a forearm across the bridge of Braun's nose, makes it hard to breathe.
Makes your eyes tear up, incredibly detrimental in a fight situation.
>> MVP and Lashley promised that they would put the hurt lock on to
Braun Strowman and ensure that' Strowman wouldn't make it to Backlash.
>> Ooh, I think Strowman might be out, guys.
Braun just went limp, that right hand from Bobby Lashley.
>> [INAUDIBLE] >> MVP trying to
Lashley gonna set back in the game here.
But I don't think Strowman is going to allow for much reprieve.
The Strowman Express, baby, clear the tracks!
>> My gosh.
>> Get the hell off me, you son of a [BLEEP].
Are you kidding me?
>> Whoa!
>> Getting pretty contentious here.
>> Get out of my face!
>> McIntyre and Strowman about to come to blows here at ringside.
>> You gonna crawl back down [INAUDIBLE] you know how to get up here.
Go on, hit me, I dare you.
>> The spear from the almighty.
>> Cover by Lashley.
>> One, two, three.
>> And the win.

Drew McIntyre has just wiped out the WWE champion.
>> But Drew's not finished yet.
The Scottish warrior initiates the countdown, two, one.
>> Another Claymore.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Could this be a preview?
Could this be what we see at WrestleMania Backlash with the WWE title on the line?
>> Drew McIntyre is incensed.
