Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee share a fist bump but as the WWE Champion is about to cut a promo, Goldberg comes out!

Goldberg says that McIntyre doesn't have respect for the WWE legends on the stage and challenges him to a title match at Royal Rumble. McIntyre laughs it off and says that fighting Goldberg would be just like fighting his dad. Goldberg pushes him and the two nearly come to blows as RAW goes off the air.

Lee goes for the Spirit Bomb but McIntyre counters with a Spinebuster and a Jackknife cover for another near-fall. Both stars trade more finisher attempts, but it is McIntyre who prevails. He hits the Claymore Kick to win the match.

RESULT: Drew McIntyre defeats Keith Lee to retain the WWE Championship

Keith Lee hits a Spanish Fly from the top rope! He gets a very close two-count.
