By Richard Trionfo on 2023-02-06 23:00:00

Brock Lesnar's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Brock says good evening to the people of Orlando.  He asks if y'all caught the Royal Rumble.  He says he thought it sucked.  He says he had a sucky experience.  Brock says he got his ass thrown over the top rope.  He says he got his ass thrown over the top rope by Bobby Who?  Bobby Lashley.  Brock apologizes for not being on Raw last week because he had to get his head together.  You finally struck a chord in me.  I couldn't get you out of my head.  I went hunting and all I could think of was Bobby Who?  Brock says he went ice fishing and all he could think about was Bobby Who?  He went to sit down for a big steak dinner and all he could think about is Bobby Lashley.  He got into bed with his wife and . . . four or five hours later, all I could think about was Bobby Lashley.  I thought long and hard about what am I going to do with Bobby Lashley.

He says he came up with a resolution, a violent one.  In this five dollar denim jacket is a multi million dollar contract.  On this contract, it states Bobby Lashley versus Brock Lesnar at Elimination Chamber.  If you have a set of balls, you will come out here and sign this contract.

Bobby's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Bobby says he didn't know Brock would be here so he wants to go down memory lane.  Match number one, I pinned you.  You won match number two, but I laid your ass out unconscious as I left this ring.  The third meeting was at the Royal Rumble and I threw your ass over the top rope with no problem.   If my memory serves me correct, and I think things will be done under my terms.  I will take this contract and I will let my agent look at it.  I will let my manager look at it.  I will make my lawyer look at it and then I will get back to you.

Bobby asks Brock if he is surprised that Bobby Who has one up on you?

Brock grabs Bobby from behind and then hits an F-5.  Brock puts the contract on top of Lashley.  Brock gives Lashley another F-5.
