Bobby Lashley and Lana come to the ring, hand-in-hand. We see replays of last night’s tables match, which they cheated to win over Rusev.
Lana says that she knows we were all busy scrolling through her Instagram yesterday, so in case we didn’t see what happened, she will tell us how her hot, hot boyfriend destroyed Rusev in a tables match. She announces Lashley as the winner and he goes to pose on the ropes. She talks about how beautiful Lashley is, and how he gives her the butterflies every single day. The fans chant “Rusev Day.”
Lana asks the fans to stop because they’re trying to move on and Rusev Day is dead. She continues talking about how beautiful and wonderful Bobby is but the fans keep chanting, so Lashley tells them to respect her. Lana says she wants Bobby to tell the world how much he loves her. So she has an engagement ring and she hands it to him to propose to her. Lashley looks weirded out by it.
Lashley says he doesn’t like when people tell him what to do…except her. He gets down on his knee and says she is the most gorgeous woman in the world, and the best female wrestler in the history of WWE. He knows they will be the best power couple WWE has ever seen. He pops the question and Lana says she can’t believe it, she’s shocked. She accepts and says he can marry her. Lana is brilliant just FYI. She raves on about how great their wedding will be, and says it will take place on Lana Day. They kiss and leave the ring.
A gauntlet match will take place next to determine the number one contender to Rey Mysterio and his United States Championship.
