Big E ended up slapping Lashley and the match was on.

Lashley managed to hit a spear at one point, but Big E kicked out. The finish saw Big E hit the Big Ending. Raw then ended with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods celebrating with Big E.

Big E had called his shot earlier in the day on Twitter by saying he was going to cash in on Raw and become the WWE Champion tonight.
