Kicking off Monday Night Raw was a celebration for the current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley who successfully defended his title against Drew McIntyre at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods interrupted Lashley and MVP’s celebration and after exchanging several insults and Kofi bringing up that he pinned Lashley last month, Kingston issued the challenge to Lashley for Money In The Bank and Lashley quickly accepted.
After accepting the challenge, Lashley stated that he wants a match with Xavier Woods as well. Woods proposed the idea of them competing inside Hell In A Cell and it was made official.
