00:00And the road to WrestleMania could be in store for a major development tonight.
00:07Bobby Lashley sets a challenge for the WWE title.
00:12Bobby Lashley entered the evening nearly two hours ago,
00:16expecting to have his WWE Championship match.
00:19Now, the Almighty has got to be fuming.
00:23Oh, you better believe he's fuming, because he's been steaming for those two hours,
00:27getting angry and angry, waiting for this opportunity to finally be his.
00:31But Byron, as we saw before the commercial break,
00:33The Miz has returned here to the WWE Thunderdome,
00:37and he asked the question to Shane McMahon,
00:39what kind of champion would Bobby Lashley be?
00:42Uh, last-inch attempt by The Miz to somehow nail his way out of this situation,
00:47but The Miz is gonna have to answer.
00:48The Miz is gonna have to stand up, stand inside that ring,
00:51look Bobby Lashley in the eye, and somehow, someway, retain his WWE title.
00:56The WWE title.
01:07A stoic and poised Bobby Lashley.
01:09Bobby Lashley has waited long enough.
01:11And meanwhile, The Miz has seemingly done everything possible to avoid this.
01:20He started off the night trying to recruit to McIntyre to back him up.
01:23At one point, he ran away from the title match at 10 p.m. Eastern.
01:28In some ways, you can't completely blame The Miz just because, of course, you're going to be nervous.
01:33Of course, you're going to be terrified at the prospect of facing Bobby Lashley.
01:37But like Shane McMahon said, despite The Miz's best efforts, Bobby Lashley is an inevitability for The Miz tonight.
01:44As Miz said before the commercial break, this WWE title, it's all about keeping it by any means necessary.
01:50I told Shane McMahon, this brand needs me as champion. You need me for anything and everything.
01:56The Miz said that he deserves respect. He's been humiliated all day.
01:59It's simple. You want that respect, Miz? You want to go to WrestleMania as WWE champion? Beat Bobby Lashley.
02:04The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the WWE Championship.
02:14Introducing the challenger, accompanied to the ring by MVP, representing the Hurt Business, Bobby Lashley.
02:24And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by John Morrison, residing in Hollywood, California, weighing in at 221 pounds.
02:37He is the WWE Champion, The Miz!
02:42A defiant Miz, set to defend his WWE Championship.
02:53It's about time.
02:54Against the almighty Bobby Lashley.
02:56What the?
02:57Here comes the money.
02:59Here we go.
03:01All right.
03:02I'm not sure how The Miz is very happy to see this.
03:04Shane McMahon.
03:05Excuse me, Miz.
03:12I have to say, I did think of something to make sure that the WWE Championship is contested fairly.
03:19Allow me to introduce you to, well, a few Lumberjacks.
03:24Gentlemen.
03:25Wow.
03:25This is a fair ruling, a Lumberjack match, as ruled by Shane McMahon.
03:32Guys, the purpose of all these superstars is to surround the ring, to keep the competitors inside and competing.
03:39I heard Shane McMahon say before the break, he was trying to think of what kind of match this would be.
03:43And this is really a smart idea, because now there is no escape for The Miz.
03:47The Miz is going to have to be in that ring and defend his WWE title.
03:51For this situation, this is the perfect idea.
03:54And trust me, you better believe every single one of these Lumberjacks would be more than happy to get their hands on The Miz.
03:59And the Raw locker room emptying at the behest of Shane McMahon, now surrounding the ring.
04:05There is nowhere for Miz to run.
04:07And Miz has got to feel like the walls are caving in.
04:11The bell is wrong.
04:12This match is underway.
04:14Oh, wait a minute.
04:16Miz took a swing with the title.
04:19And Miz tried to get disqualified.
04:21And Miz actually tried to get himself disqualified.
04:25It was a good thought, but...
04:26Yeah, good thought, good attempt.
04:28Big fail.
04:31And now Lashley...
04:33Miz can only stall for so long.
04:40Guys, this is exactly where the Lumberjacks are out there to make sure Miz doesn't go ever further.
04:44He's got to stay in the ring.
04:45No effect whatsoever on Lashley.
04:48He's rolling out, and that's a terrible idea.
04:51Miz, you're not safe out there.
04:52I will make that happen.
04:53I will make that happen.
04:54I will make that happen.
04:57Miz trying to wheel and deal outside, but it's a no-go.
05:00This is the purpose of the Lumberjacks.
05:02And now Lashley.
05:04Face your fate, Miz.
05:06Oh, and Lashley.
05:07Oh, he's, he's, oh, he's ravaging to Miz.
05:11I mean...
05:12Oh, and Lashley's been waiting all night for this.
05:14He's been working 17 years.
05:17Lightning towards this moment.
05:19And raised.
05:20Oh!
05:21Unhinged and thirsty for the WWE title.
05:25And again, Miz rolls outside the ring.
05:27Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
05:29And you'll find no asylum with retribution, Miz.
05:33Oh, hey, guys, look at the Raw Tag Team Champions, the rest of the Hurt Business.
05:37Benjamin and Alexander helping out Lashley.
05:40Oh, ho, ho, ho.
05:40Let's go protecting your assets, Tom.
05:42Miz will find no sympathy.
05:45I now center of the ring.
05:47Flatliner to Miz.
05:48Robert, oh, no, no, no.
05:50Lashley wants to punish the Miz.
05:51It's raining down punishment.
05:52This is an all-out barrage from Bobby Lashley.
05:57Lashley has been envisioning this all night long.
06:03You can feel that, the venom, the malice, the anger, the vitriol that Lashley has for the WWE Champion.
06:10Those punches have no effect.
06:14Oh, and Lashley.
06:16Lashley is passing Miz to the Lumberjacks.
06:20We're just going to send Miz right back into the ring.
06:22Oh, it's a vicious cycle.
06:24Right back to an awaiting Bobby Lashley.
06:28Miz is being thrashed by Lashley.
06:31This right now is a worst-case scenario for the Miz.
06:35I almost feel sorry for Miz.
06:37Almost.
06:38I'm sorry for the Miz.
06:40And now Lashley.
06:41Wait, listen, Miz made Lashley wait.
06:43Oh!
06:44Almighty Spine Buster!
06:46And now Miz is paying for it.
06:50This is devastation!
06:53This is beyond devastation.
06:55Guys, I think we know what Bobby Lashley is thinking right now.
07:00Lashley honed in.
07:03Lashley gotta be thinking.
07:04Oh!
07:05There it is!
07:06The heart lock!
07:07The heart lock!
07:08It has cinched in.
07:09Center of the ring.
