Big E (c) vs. Bobby Lashley - Steel Cage match for the WWE Championship on RAW (contd...)
Woods and Kofi came in to even the odds and slammed the cage door on Lashley's face as he tried to escape on RAW. Xavier and Kofi took the Hurt Business down before the match continued.
We returned from a break to see that The New Day and The Hurt Business were kicked out of the ringside area for interfering. Lashley hit a Spear for a near fall before hitting an elbow drop from the middle rope.
The All Mighty was about to walk out of the ring before Big E grabbed him but was kicked down. E reversed a big move and hit the Big Ending for a near fall of his own. Lashley hit a spinebuster before trying to climb out once more.
Big E caught Lashley on the second rope and hit the Big Ending from up high before picking up the win!
Result: Big E def. Bobby Lashley to retain the WWE Championship
Drew McIntyre walked out after the match and laid out a challenge to the WWE Champ as RAW went off the air.
