As they do, it is announced that Pat McAfee is not allowed to put his hands on Austin Theory and that he must apologize to Theory or else he will lose his WrestleMania match and his job. Roman says that tonight is the first night he will see Brock Lesnar since he smashed him in Madison Square Garden. Suddenly, Lesnar lets Roman know that Lesnar's flight has been grounded due to weather-related reasons and that Lesnar will not be here tonight. Roman says that Lesnar is scared of him, because he is greatness on a different level and there is no man who can touch him. Suddenly, Heyman finds out that Lesnar is here after all and that he is on his way. Everyone heads to the back.

Roman, Heyman and The Usos get in a light brown truck, but Lesnar finds the truck and rips a back door open as the truck speeds off. Lesnar then heads to the ring with the door in his hand. Lesnar says "Excuse me. I'm a little riled up," then tells Roman that he has unleased "a bipolar beast" and that he can run and hide, but in two weeks, he will do more than blow the doors off. He tells Roman that he is coming for blood and that he had best be prepared.

As he talks about how he has wanted to tour from city to city and meet the millions of fans of the WWE, Austin Theory shows up.

She also talks about how she had Ronda seconds away from tapping out until referees pulled her off of Ronda, and says that this is a taste of what is in store for Ronda at WrestleMania as Ronda watches from backstage. Charlotte calls herself the mountain that Ronda has to climb and says she kicked Ronda down to the bottom of that mountain, and says that when she loses at WrestleMania, she will leave to have another baby because she does not have the spine to be a champion like her. She then dares Ronda to get in the ring with her so she can embarrass her in her hometown. Ronda heads to the ring and ignored Kayla Braxton's attempt at an interview as she does, and Charlotte produces a Kendo stick. Charlotte swings and misses, and the two women brawl. Charlotte avoids an ankle lock by hitting her with a Kendo stick and chokes her out with it, then powerbombs her through the announce table.
