General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque are in the ring. Pearce announces that Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar will sign their match contract separately to avoid what happened last week before Paul Heyman arrives. Heyman says it is "WrestleMania fight week" and that nobody should even get close to "The Beast," Brock Lesnar, who shows up and heads to the ring with Heyman. Heyman signs the contract for his WrestleMania match before tipping his hat to Pearce while Triple H shakes Heyman's hand. Lesnar grabs the microphone from Heyman's hand and says that nobody will remember Oba Femi's hand after this weekend, then Heyman says that in "the real main event of WrestleMania," there will be a winner and a loser. He says that the loser's name is Oba Femi, and that the winner will be Brock Lesnar.

Some of the Performance Center talent is involved (including Dante Chen), and at one point, iShowSpeed is able to do a Boston Crab. At the end, iShowSpeed is a lot more confident.

Vaquer yells at Liv before getting back in the ring and fighting her again. Once again, officials have to separate them both.
Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Iyo Sky. Iyo says she may have lost against Jade Cargill last week, but she does not regret fighting for Rhea Ripley, and nobody will be rooting for Rhea more than her. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka and Kairi Sane) show up, and Asuka tells Iyo that Rhea is not her family. She also mentions Iyo entering WrestleMania last year as champion, then says that Iyo is just Rhea's sidekick now. Iyo takes exception to this and tells Kairi Sane that she does not have to listen to her, and that leads to Asuka putting Kairi in a match against Iyo tonight.

Gunther heads to the ring. After the commercial break, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins rushes to the ring and attacks Gunther before he can speak. Rollins calls this his receipt for Gunther attacking him two weeks in a row, and at WrestleMania, he finishes the job. Rollins then says that if this is personal for Gunther and not about kissing Paul Heyman's ass, then Gunther should look him in the eye and tell him why he should fight him at WrestleMania. Gunther calls Rollins' bluff and says he will solve Heyman's problem with a smile on his face, as Rollins has been pissing him off by walking around like he is the best in the ring while he is the best and not Rollins. He says that Rollins became a useful idiot for Heyman and that he is setting it straight at WrestleMania and proving that Rollins cannot lace his boots. This leads to a brawl, and Rollins nearly hits The Stomp on Gunther into the ring steps before Gunther retreats into the crowd.

General Manager Adam Pearce and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque introduce Oba Femi to the ring to sign the contract for his WrestleMania match against Brock Lesnar. Oba Femi shows up, heads to the ring, shakes hands with Triple H and Pearce, then signs the contract. Oba then takes the microphone, then notices Paul Heyman on the stage. Heyman says that in his entire life, he has never seen someone handle Brock Lesnar the way that Oba Femi did and says that Oba is a violent man, which he admires from afar as he calls Oba the greatest up-and-comer he has seen since Lesnar. Heyman then declares that this will all come to an end and that everything Oba has built will come crashing down with an F-5 in Suplex City by Brock Lesnar. He also tells Oba that there is no shame in this lose and nothing but pride in being in the WrestleMania main event, and that while Oba will be conquered by Lesnar, his door will always be open to Oba Femi when he needs to rebuild his career. Oba says it is taking everything to keep him from beating Heyman pillar to post, then says that it is deeper than that. He says that while the physical scars will heal, the emotional wounds will last forever when Lesnar loses. He says that the only door he needs to open is already open, and that is the door to WrestleMania. He says Heyman and Lesnar issued the challenge to whoever stepped up, and that he has proven that Lesnar can be baten. Oba says this is just business, but it is not business as usual and that he, Heyman and the fans can all feel it. He says it is time to put an end to Lesnar, then calls Heyman out on his dishonesty, for if he were honest, he would admit that Lesnar is afraid of him. Oba says that he will slay "The Beast" and that he will be the one to beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.

Roman Reigns heads to the ring. As Roman demands the crowd acknowledge him, CM Punk shows up and heads to the ring. CM Punk says that Roman made a "smear campaign" in the show's cold open and states that Roman can be judge, jury and executioner as he tells his truth, then states "Tell me when I'm telling lies." Punk heads towards the ring, but Punk says that if he enters the ring, they will not need microphones. Punk stands at the apron and states that he hates Roman because he envies him, and says the only dream that he has ever had in his heart and all he ever wanted was handed to Roman. Punk says he hates that Roman was champion for 1,316 days and the number of times that he main evented WrestleMania. As he hates that he envies Roman, he talks about how he respected Sika as well as the old-timers, and hates that he mentioned his father's name in vain and apologizes to Roman for it. Punk says that he hates that there is more than one royal family and that he was not born into it and has no idea what that life is like. He says he was born in the streets of Chicago, Illinois and had to find his own family in the fans. Punk says he found his family in the indies, travelled the world twice and busted his ass to make pro wrestling his home and his family, and hates that he has to share this main event WrestleMania match with Roman. Punk says that at Saturday, he has gold on his shoes and around his waist, and when it is all over, he will have gold above his head as he retains the World Heavyweight Championship while the fans chant "CM Punk." Roman says that this is "the truest stuff he heard [Punk] say...up until the end," then says he hates Punk and has hated him for a long time, but it is because of Punk's relationship with the fans. He hopes that when he leaves, the fans miss him as much as they missed Punk and chant for him for ten years straight, and that the connection Punk has is the one thing he really has, and it cannot be taken away from him. He then says that Punk's truth is not reality and that time will be up for him at WrestleMania, and that he will become the new World Heavyweight Champion. He says that the experiment and nostalgia act is done, and that the Punk problem will be fixed and he will take back over, and the world will acknowledge him.
