00:00Right now.
00:04Awesome!
00:05Ladies and gentlemen, it's time.
00:09It is 10 PM Eastern.
00:11The Miz must defend his WWE Championship.
00:17The Miz obviously trying to shake off whatever was ailing him earlier tonight.
00:22Well, that is the remit of a champion.
00:24You must defend your championship no matter what the odds or
00:27what that admiration is.
00:30Here's the key. Less than 100% or not, there is no turning back for the A-lister.
00:34There is no turning back for The Miz.
00:37Earlier tonight, The Miz was complaining of clamping.
00:40Said his stomach was in knots.
00:42Told Adam Pearce that.
00:43Man, that was serious.
00:44That was a serious issue he had going on there.
00:46It happens to all of us, Tom.
00:48You wouldn't know.
00:49I understand that.
00:50The Miz saying, quote, my doctor says it's stress-related due to this title defense
00:54against Bobby Lashley.
00:56Who wouldn't be stressed?
00:57The Miz is taking on a man who is virtually unstoppable, unbeatable.
01:02Of course that's gonna be an issue.
01:04Now, more about this story in a moment as we're set for this championship match to get underway.
01:10One of the biggest nights in the history of Monday Night Raw.
01:13Is The Miz looking at that WWE Championship for the last time?
01:18Is The Miz about to kiss the WWE Championship goodbye?
01:21Is he about to say goodbye to his road to WrestleMania?
01:24You best believe he wants to head to WrestleMania with it.
01:27That is what it is all about tonight,
01:28an opportunity to main event the grandest stage of them all.
01:32This could be a WrestleMania-altering night.
01:35The Miz set to defend the WWE title.
01:39Here we go.
01:57So think about how incensed Bobby Lashley must be.
02:01He wanted this match last week and how he wanted this match an hour ago.
02:05Let me explain to you something.
02:06To see a Bobby Lashley walk down the ring and angry, that's one thing.
02:09To see a Bobby Lashley that's angry that you forced to wait, that is a whole other animal.
02:13Let's think about this.
02:15Bobby Lashley has had another hour to add fuel to his unhinged fury.
02:21All directed at that man, the WWE Champion, The Miz.
02:28This has been a steady march for Bobby Lashley for the ranks here in WWE.
02:33This is gonna be so ugly, I almost don't wanna watch this, Tom.
02:37I would not wanna be The Miz right now.
02:40I mean Miz, he could end up staying on the mat by the end of the night.
02:45Look at this monster.
02:54Staring a hole through the WWE Champion, The Miz, is Bobby Lashley.
03:03Is this the moment that Bobby Lashley has been grinding towards his entire career?
03:13The following content.
03:16Wait for what?
03:17Look, look, look, look, look, look, look.
03:19You're a professional, you're a professional, I'm a professional.
03:23Let's talk about this.
03:26Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, MVP, MVP.
03:29You're into business, you're into her business, you wanna talk business?
03:32Let's talk business, okay?
03:3317 years, 17 years, this man has waited, has yearned, has deserved to be WWE Champion.
03:42But this isn't the stage, right here, right now, this isn't the stage MVP.
03:50He needs to do it at the grandest stage of them all.
03:55Think about this, MVP, think about this, Bobby.
03:58The challenger, Bobby Lashley, the champion, The Miz, in the main event of WrestleMania.
04:05Think about the weeks we will have the WWE Universe yearning, wanting,
04:10fiending for this match.
04:13What do you see?
04:17Make the announcements, we're doing it right now.
04:22The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the WWE Championship.

05:10Despite the last minute effort from The Miz to try to delay this match until WrestleMania,
05:16it's happening now, Bobby Lashley has not taken his eyes off the WWE Champion.

06:06That's it, we can do it.

06:11No, you can't, that's twice, man.
06:13The Miz has changed the championship.
06:15Here is your winner by count out, Bobby Lashley.
06:23However, still, your WWE Champion, The Miz.
06:30Wait, guys, the championship cannot change hands on count out or disqualification.
