Big E captures the WWE Championship.
To close out Monday Night Raw, Bobby Lashley successfully defended the WWE Championship against Randy Orton. After Lashley secured the victory, Big E came down to the ring and followed up on what was tweeted prior to Raw which was that he was going to cash in his Money In The Bank contract.
After several minutes of back and forth between the two talents, Big E picked Lashley up for the ‘Big Ending’ and went on to become the new WWE Champion.
