Drew McIntyre interrupted and demanded a one-on-one rematch against Lashley for the WWE Title. Drew questioned if Bobby has ba**s, and asked Bobby’s girls if he has any or not. Kofi Kingston interrupted to state that he pinned Lashley last week and hence he should be next in line for a WWE Title match.
Kofi informed Drew while the latter one never got his one-on-one rematch for the WWE Title, he has been awarded multiple opportunities and he lost all of them. Adam Pearce came out to announce Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston with the winner facing Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at Hell In A Cell 2021.
– The opening contest of Raw between Kingston and McIntyre ended in a DQ after Bobby Lashley attacked the two competitors during the match with MVP’s assist. Kingston hit back at Lashley with a Trouble in Paradise as McIntyre followed up with a Claymore Kick to keep the champion down.
– A Beat The Clock challenge was scheduled next as RAW Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley had to defeat Nikki Cross in under 2 minutes but she failed to do so. Hence, Nikki was declared the winner. Charlotte Flair appeared on the ramp after the match to taunt Ripley.
