Winners:  Chad Gable and Otis

We have a video package for Lita.  

We go to 'It isn't a commercial'.

Montel Vontavious Porter is in the ring and he introduces Denver's own, Bobby Lashley.

Porter says they should have had a proper celebration last week because Bobby won the match that has been built for decades.  Bobby Lashley slayed the beast and got back his WWE Championship.  There are some who are saying Bobby only won because Roman Reigns interfered.  Porter says he didn't see that.  Lesnar would have done the same thing.  Brock wouldn't have capitalized.  In the end, Bobby Lashley pinned Brock Lesnar and stood victorious.

They should have had a ticker tape parade last week with showgirls and bottles popping.  Last week should have been Bobby Lashley Day.  Instead, we got Adam Pearce telling Bobby he would have to defend his title in the Elimination Chamber.  That brings us back to Brock.

Brock won the Royal Rumble.  That was impressive since Bobby left him laying two hours earlier.  Brock will face Roman Reigns, but Brock coming into the Elimination Chamber and taking the WWE Championship?  That is pure fantasy.  Bobby will leave the Elimination Chamber the same way he left the Royal Rumble, as WWE Champion.  Porter says AJ and Rollins are two of the best while you have two who could be the future in Riddle and Austin Theory.  Those are men.

When you talk about Lesnar and Lashley, you are talking about monsters.  Lashley is the biggest and baddest monster of them all.  

Bobby says the champ lives here.  He says Brock disrespected him for the last time.  Brock had his MMA gloves and demanded a rematch.  You make demands of the All Mighty.  Brock came in and demanded everything he never worked for.  Bobby asks when was the last time Brock defended the WWE Championship?  When was the last time Brock had a match on Raw?  I won't be disrespected.  I hope it comes down to him and Brock in the Elimination Chamber so he can pin him again.  It is not me locked in the chamber with Brock.  Brock will be locked in the chamber with me.

When Brock wakes up in the hospital shaking from the sound of my name, he can challenge for the Universal Championship while I will be defending my title in the main event of Wrestlemania.

We take a look at last week's session with Alexa Bliss.

We return to Alexa's latest session and the therapist suggests separating from something you love.  He reminds her that it is a replica Lilly.  He asks for replica Lilly back.  Alexa hands it back to the therapist.

Alexa starts to cry.  

Match Number Two:  AJ Styles versus Damian Priest in a Non Title Match

Styles with a chop but Priest sends AJ into the corner.  AJ with a chop but Priest blocks an Irish whip.  Styles with a chop and Priest with a spinning heel kick.  Priest goes over the top rope to the floor and AJ with a pescado to Priest.  AJ sends Priest back into the ring and gets a near fall with a La Magistral.  Priest backs AJ into the corner and then he sends Priest face first into the mat.  Priest with an elbow in the corner.  Priest holds on to the ropes on an O'Connor Roll attempt and Priest with a clothesline for a near fall.  Priest with a punch in the corner.   Priest sets for a superplex but AJ slides under and drops Priest on the turnbuckles.  AJ avoids Reckoning and Styles goes for the Styles Clash but Priest escapes.

AJ with an ushigoroshi for a near fall.  AJ misses a forearm into the corner but hits an elbow.  Priest with a heel kick to AJ and a head lock driver for a near fall.  AJ with a forearm and Priest with a forearm.  AJ with more forearms but Priest with kicks.  AJ with more kicks but Priest with a thrust kick.  AJ with a Pele kick but Priest falls onto AJ for a near fall.  AJ sets for a Phenomenal Forearm but Priest with a forearm to stop AJ.  AJ with a Phenomenal Forearm for the three count.

Winner:  AJ Styles

After the match, Priest is not happy about his loss and it looks like he has gone DAMIAN.

We are told that Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Doudrop, Nikki A.S.H. and someone else will meet in the Elimination Chamber to see who faces Becky Lynch or Lita at Wrestlemania.

Kevin Owens is in the back and Seth Rollins shows up and cackles.  He says he knows that Kevin is getting ready for his rematch but Seth says he cannot believe that Kevin isn't in the Elimination Chamber.  

Kevin says he hates Adam and Sonya.  Kevin says with Seth's influence and support as well as Kevin's determination and popularity, after he beats Austin Theory, Sonya and Adam will have no choice but to put him in the Chamber match to replace Theory.

Kevin wants to make sure that Seth isn't lying to him.  Seth cackles and he says he is a lot of things but a liar is not one of them.
