WWE Championship Match Contract Signing on RAW
Drew McIntyre was out next on RAW for the WWE Championship contract signing but no one showed up when Lashley's music hit. Drew told a story about not giving up and was about to sign the contract.
MVP & Lashley showed up on the Titantron and told Drew to hold up till they showed up in the ring.
Lashley and MVP came out and said that the champ's condition was that if Drew loses the title match, he would never get another shot at the WWE Championship while it was in Lashley's possession. Pearce added the clause to the contract after Drew agreed to it. Lashley continued to trash talk as he signed the contract.
The former champion had a stipulation of his own, wanting no more games and no cheap outs for Lashley. McIntyre demanded that this final match take place inside Hell in a Cell, which Lashley and MVP agreed to. Drew threatened Lashley before using a sword to slice the table in two.
Nikki Cross was backstage on RAW and revealed that her surprise tag partner was Asuka!
Sheamus was out with a broken nose to spectate Ricochet and Humbert Carrillo's match on RAW. He started speaking before the match before Ricochet and Carrillo scared him by teasing some dives onto the US Champion.
Ricochet ended up taking Carrillo to the floor before the match began.
