MVP doesn't have time to keep things PG when his client keeps getting robbed of a WWE Championship opportunity throughout an entire episode of Monday Night Raw.
It has been known for a week that Bobby Lashley would challenge The Miz for the WWE Championship on the March 1 episode of WWE Raw. Despite this, The Miz has continued to weasel out of the match.
Originally set to go on the air at 9 p.m. eastern time, The Miz initially used complaints of anxiety and stomach cramps to get the match extended for another hour. At 10 p.m. eastern time, The Miz attempted to push the match back to WrestleMania, proclaiming that Bobby Lashley deserves a moment on a much grander stage. MVP would have none of it and the match began.
As soon as the bell rang, The Miz took the WWE championship and ran, getting himself counted out and therefore keeping the championship although he would lose the match. Following this, MVP and Bobby Lashley would bring their grievances to Shane McMahon.

After being told that The Miz did technically compete in a championship match, MVP exclaimed to Shane McMahon that the situation was “bullshit.” The word would not be bleeped. Shane McMahon would agree and tell Bobby Lashley that if The Miz doesn't properly defend the championship against Lashley by the end of the night, he will be stripped of the title and it will be awarded to Bobby Lashley.
JUST ANNOUNCED: If @mikethemiz doesn't show up for his match tonight against @fightbobby, he will be stripped of his #WWETitle.

In the past, the word “shit” has been used on recent WWE Raw episodes. Corey Graves used it back in 2019, also in a situation with Lashley as he exclaimed, “holy shit” when Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman crashed through the Monday Night Raw stage.
The word “shit” is also used regularly on AEW Dynamite on Wednesday nights.
