Raw marked the first show since WrestleMania 37 produced a host of title changes. However, one title that didn't change hands was the WWE championship as Bobby Lashley retained against Drew McIntyre.
During Monday's installment of Raw, MVP gave praise to McIntyre for his performance. McIntyre came out and admitted that he made the first mistake by allowing MVP to distract him during the match. In addition, Randy Orton, and Braun Strowman came out and all three men wanted a shot at Lashley's championship. WWE official Adam Pearce interrupted the confrontation and announced that McIntyre, Orton, and Strowman would do battle in the main event for a chance to challenge Lashley for the WWE title at WrestleMania: Backlash next month.
CBS Sports was with you all night, bringing you recaps and highlights of all the action from the new ThunderDome inside the Yuengling Center.
WWE title opportunity up for grabs
Drew McIntyre def. Randy Orton and Braun Strowman via pinfall after hitting a Claymore on Orton. Earlier in the match, Orton had put McIntyre out of the equation as he launched McIntyre over the announce desk. Orton ended up hitting an RKO on Strowman. However, as Orton was going for the pin, McIntyre came out of nowhere ironically enough and delivered a Claymore to Orton. McIntyre was then able to cover Orton to win the match.
After McIntyre won the match, MVP came out by himself and McIntyre's attention was completely on the Hurt Business mouthpiece. With his attention diverted, former Retribution members T-Bar and Mase attacked McIntyre from behind.
After being distracted by MVP in the WrestleMania title fight, McIntyre didn't exactly lose clean. With that in mind, it made sense for McIntyre to come out on top in this match. Former members of Retribution appear to have done some bidding for MVP and Lashley. Could we be seeing a reformed Hurt Business? Grade: B+
