Logan Paul heads to the ring. Logan Paul heads to the ring. On the way there, he encounters a fan with a "I Hate Logan Paul" T-shirt (played by independent wrestler Mike Datello) and tears the front of his shirt apart. Logan Paul is booed out of the building as he states that "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles was supposed to be out here to call him out, but he has beaten him to the punch, as he does not associate with "guys like AJ Styles." He considers his name comparable to the greats in WWE's history and says that just like them, he will do anything to get to the top, which is why he is so shocked that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes rejected The Rock's offer. Logan says it took John Cena twenty years to realize that nice guys finish last, but he has realized this since day one and tells The Rock that his soul is for sale before mocking the fans. He then notices comedian Andrew Schulz in the front row and has a microphone passed to him and Schulz says he is here to see tonight's steel cage match between Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and CM Punk, and that nobody is here to see Logan. Schulz says this is New York City and not Cleveland, Ohio, and says New York City is a real city that likes real wrestlers, then says he wants to see AJ Styles tonight. Logan then pulls Schulz over the barricade and throws him into the ring, but AJ Styles shows up and fights Logan, eventually hitting him with a Phenomenal Forearm. Logan is left crawling out of the ring, and Styles tells Logan to get back in the ring as he is not done with him. Logan refuses to head back to the ring as Styles and Schulz celebrate.

Liv hopes Finn will win, and Dominik says he believes in Finn.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring. Cody says he is in Madison Square Garden because it is a cathedral for WWE, yet John Cena is not here tonight, even though he will be in Brussels, Belgium for the European tour next week. He mentions that Cena has created some memorable moments in Madison Square Garden, but could not be here tonight, and Cody says it was a smart decision for Cena about as much as it was a smart decision to kick him in the nuts with back-up. The crowd chants "Let's go, Cena! Cena sucks!" Cody also begrudges Cena for stating that one must have the discipline for what needs to be done, even if you do not want to do it, and he wants to tell Cena to shut up. He says nobody defined "best for business" more than John Cena and that the fans know better, for the business has changed, and while stat counting is tacky, "17" will not happen when he beats Cena out of his last chance to become World Champion, for he is the captain now.

Actor William Jackson Harper, Broadway writer Kris Diaz, actor Josh Segarra and rapper Nardo Wick are seen in the crowd.
Michael Cole interviews Iyo Sky in the ring. Iyo says it is a dream to be here in Madison Square Garden as champion, and that she proved that the impossible is possible, just as she said. Iyo says she is now over the moon to be champion going into WrestleMania, then Bianca Belair is introduced into the ring by Michael Cole. Bianca congratulates Iyo on becoming Women's World Champion, and while they have not always seen eye to eye, she is happy for the both of them heading into WrestleMania. On the subject of Rhea Ripley losing her title, Bianca says she was not planning on anything, as she has enough drama going on as it was and that she was not taking anything from Rhea. As Bianca says she is focusing on WrestleMania, Rhea shows up. Bianca says she wanted to see when Rhea asks Bianca wanted when she watched her and Iyo's match at ringside, and says there was no reason for her to be there last week as she handled her business just like Bianca should have handled hers with Jade Cargill and Naomi. Bianca says Rhea is mad because she clapped for Iyo and not for her, and that this is a defense mechanism because she cannot beat Iyo herself and has to blame her. Rhea shoves Iyo, as does Bianca, when she approaches them as Rhea and Bianca accuse the other of hiding behind other people. Iyo finally has enough and slaps both of them, then leaves.
NXT Women's North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer and NXT Women's Champion Giulia are seen in the crowd.
