The Judgment Day (Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest) beat Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis.
In backstage footage from earlier today, Cathy Kelley gets an interview with The Miz. Chad Gable shows up looking for Otis, and as Miz says he does not travel with pets like Gable does, Gable gets the idea of making flyers. All of a sudden, as Miz is asked about the idea of a WrestleMania co-host, Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky) are seen attacking Trish Stratus.
Omos and MVP head to the ring. After the commercial break, MVP says that Brock Lesnar is a terrific athlete but a terrible tactician for putting his hands on him and accepting a match against Omos at WrestleMania, then Lesnar shows up. Omos gently sends Lesnar out of the ring, and referees and officials stand between Lesnar and Omos.
"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beats LA Knight. After the match, Cody says he keeps hearing warnings from Paul Heyman that he should stay out of Bloodline business, but he does not work for them, and if he wants to stand alongside Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens, he can do that. He also says that Heyman has said not to make this personal, but it has already been personal since he came back and has wanted to be somebody. Cody says he acknowledges Roman Reigns, but Roman needs to acknowledge him. He says that he has been a prince in the industry, but he has had no crown, and on April 2nd, when the sun goes down on Hollywood, it is going down on Roman Reigns' generational run when he becomes Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
Backstage, Byron Saxton interviews Seth "Freakin'" Rollins. Rollins says that last week, Logan Paul acted like he won the lottery after landing the shot of a lifetime on his chin and knocked him down, but Rollins says no one can keep him down. Suddenly, The Miz shows up, and Rollins tries to scare him before The Miz says that Rollins lost control of the narrative before telling him that Logan Paul will conduct a live in-ring version of Impaulsive and that he expects to be invited as a guest. Baron Corbin shows up wanting to be The Miz's co-host for WrestleMania, but Miz says he does not have that much pull. Corbin offers Rollins some boxing lessons, but Rollins declines, saying he'd rather take lessons from his baby daughter. Corbin then says he has tried everything, and that he might as well beat up Rollins for his WrestleMania spot. Rollins takes this as a challenge, accepts, and leaves. Miz tells Corbin that if he can handle Rollins, he can put in a good word for Logan.
Bronson Reed beats Elias.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley is interrupted by Chad Gable, who is looking for Otis. Becky Lynch and Lita shows up, but Cathy Kelley cannot get any answers regarding Trish Stratus' condition.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Kevin Owens. Owens says he has asked for help and has needed it for a long time but never got it, but when Sami Zayn asked for help, he did not want to help due to their history. As for "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, if he wants to help Sami, that is fine, but he does not need Cody's help, either. He tells Cody to focus on WrestleMania and that he does not want to see him out there, and that he will continue to keep fighting on his own.
In backstage footage from earlier today, Austin Theory is met by The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). After Montez calls Theory a choke theory, Theory says that he got what he wanted last week, then wants to know who the tougher member of The Street Profits is. He then says that it is not Montez Ford, because he is a big bag of jokes who comes up short when given an opportunity, and while Montez has the smoke, all he does is choke. Dawkins says John Cena will humble Theory at WrestleMania, but he will do it tonight. Theory then says The Street Profits are doing nothing at WrestleMania before laughing and leaving.
Austin Theory beats Angelo Dawkins. After the match, Theory puts Dawkins in the STF to send a message to John Cena, then gets away when Montez Ford runs towards the ring.
Backstage, Cathy Kelly is interrupted by Paul Heyman, who says that The Bloodline has a Kevin Owens problem and that they will demonstrate that they solve their problems with violence with Solo Sikoa. He then says that the truth will imprison "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes into thinking it is personal with Roman Reigns, and calls Cody's acknowledgement of Roman a mockery before giving Cody a chance to really acknowledge him next week when Roman returns to Raw. Heyman then says that when Cody Rhodes acknowledges Roman Reigns, it will decide is Cody is a challenger or a problem that Roman Reigns would love to solve personally.
Rey Mysterio heads to the ring. Rey admits it feels good to be back on Raw and says his 20th anniversary celebration felt like yesterday, then says that now, they are celebrating the biggest moments of his life, and that his Hall of Fame induction is not just for him, but for the fans who helped build his career. Dominik Mysterio shows up and congratulates Rey for making it into the WWE Hall of Fame and says he deserves it after putting his entire life in the business at his expense. He asks Rey how it feels knowing that he went so many nights without having a father, then chews him out for no-showing his eighth grade promotion to be at WrestleMania and buying him a BMW when all his friends got Mercedes. Dominik calls Rey a sad, ugly excuse for both a father and a man, then challenges Rey to a match at WrestleMania. Rey says he does not know how many times he has to tell him that he will not fight him, as he still loves him and always will, and that there will be no match.As Rey walks away, Dominik tells Rey to do what he always does and run away like he did from him and his family through the years, as all Rey taught him is what not to be.
Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Becky Lynch, Lita and Trish Stratus. Becky says Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky) will get their heads kicked in, Lita says Damage CTRL should have finished the job, and Trish says that Damage CTRL should have hit harder and that they just pissed her off.

Backstage, Chad Gable continues to look for Otis when he is met by Mustafa Ali. Mustafa says he has not seen him, and as Mustafa tells him to be positive, Gable sees Maximum Male Models (Maxxine Dupri, Mace, Mansoor) do a photo shoot with Otis. After Mansoor says that Maximum Male Models' match is next week after he broke a nail, leaving them cosmetically uncleared to compete, Gable poses with Otis, but Mansoor says that Gable's grossness broke his camera, and Maxxine Dupri says that Gable is nowhere near as attractive at Otis. Shortly after Maximum Male Models leaves, Otis leaves with them, too, much to Gable's sadness.
Bianca Belair beats Chelsea Green. After the match, Bianca blocks an attack from Carmella and tries to fight off both her and Chelsea Green, but the numbers game takes over until Asuka gets in the ring and kicks Chelsea in the face. Bianca and Asuka then lay out Chelsea as Carmella runs away. Asuka then picks up the Raw Women's Championship and dances around with it before faking spitting blue mist at Bianca and finally handing her the title as she laughs.
Solo Sikoa beats Kevin Owens in a street fight after leading Owens into a trap backstage where he gets superkicked by The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso).
