MVP and Bobby Lashley arrived on this week’s WWE RAW to unveil the new United States Championship belt. MVP first spoke about the United States Champion Apollo Crews, and how disrespectful he’d been in recent weeks.

He then revealed the new belt and called it his own, stating that he would defeat Crews for it at Extreme Rules. Lashley declared MVP the new Champion and put the title around his waist before Ricochet and Cedric Alexander came out and interrupted the duo.

The babyfaces of RAW spoke a few words before we had a tag team match at hand. Lashley did most of the work during the match. He managed to hit the Spear on Ricochet to pick up the victory for his team and end the segment.

It looks like The All Mighty of RAW will have to wait for some more time

This was an interesting segment that allowed MVP to emerge as Apollo’s next challenger rather than Lashley. For weeks, fans had been seeing Lashley target Apollo and were ready to see him come after the United States Championship.

However, it seems like WWE is throwing MVP into the mix to allow Apollo another big victory before he ultimately meets the All-Mighty.
