The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Paul Heyman says that Seth "Freakin'" Rollins stole the credit of founding The Vision and co-founding The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins, Roman Reigns) and deserves neither, and that Rollins stole the Elimination Chamber and the main event of WrestleMania from Logan Paul. Heyman then says that they will do something about this, and that the next time Rollins is in a WWE ring, The Vision will stomp him out. He says this is not a prediction or a spoiler, but a personal guarantee from The Vision. Austin Theory mentions his history with Rollins, saying that Rollins is not going forward after what he did to Logan Paul, and Logan Paul mentions that he eliminated three participants in the Chamber until Rollins stole the victory from him. General Manager Adam Pearce shows up with security and accuses The Vision of attacking "Main Event" Jey Uso before telling The Vision they will not hold the show hostage. Heyman says they did not attack Jey Uso, but tells Pearce they can plead guilty in advance to what they will do to Rollins. Pearce says that he wants to have a conversation with Rollins and cannot have it with The Vision in the ring. All of a sudden, a masked man in black shows up from out of the crowd, but is chased by security. A second one then shows up, and gets chased by Logan. A third one shows, and Theory chases him through the crowd. Heyman is all alone in the ring when a fourth one shows up, and a fifth man - who is really Rollins - shows up with a chair and blasts Heyman in the back with it. Rollins then stomps out Heyman with The Stomp. Rollins then leaves through the crowd, and medical personnel check on Heyman in the ring.
Backstage, a bloodied "The Oracle" Paul Heyman is in an ambulance. Logan Paul and Austin Theory check on Heyman, then Jimmy Uso shows up and attacks the both of them. LA Knight is the driver of the ambulance.

AJ Lee heads to the ring. AJ Lee says she came back to WWE to snatch the hair off of Becky Lynch's head and ended up snatching her title, and admitted that she did not know if she could still go. She mentions that the fans still remembered her when they could have forgotten, and made her believe she could still fight the very best. AJ says she beat Becky and that Becky gave her the fight of her life, and she proved she is still who she thinks she is. AJ states that while Becky is behind her, WrestleMania is ahead of her, but she is not waiting until then and that she will be a fighting champion, for it has been twelve long years since he last held a title and she is not taking this for granted or wasting time. She talks about how a few weeks ago, she wanted to face a few women in the locker room, and now that she has the Women's Intercontinental Championship, she knows they will want to get their hands on her. AJ Lee then dares anyone who thinks they are main event material and want to face their favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler to step up, for the next time she is in the ring, she is defending the title.
In backstage footage from earlier today, El Grande Americano I runs into Penta, who says that he is looking forward to Penta's Intercontinental Championship and is wanting the first shot if he wins.

El Grande Americano I says he is the only El Grande Americano, but El Grande Americano II, who is clad all in black and gold, says they will see who the real one is in two weeks. El Grande Americano I then challenges Rayo and Bravo to a one-on-one match.
We hear from Liv Morgan, who says that Stephanie Vaquer tried to judge and embarrass her and does not know about her struggles. Shen then sarcastically states that she is privileged while mocking Vaquer's own struggles, and that she does not dwell on her past like Vaquer does. Liv admits she sees a little bit of herself in Vaquer, and at WrestleMania, she will give Vaquer the privilege of stepping into the ring with the greatest Royal Rumble winner of all time and " the Liv Morgan," and Vaquer will learn everything she needs to know.

Rusev suddenly shows up and stands on the announce desk, stating that he is tired of hearing about Oba Femi and tired of waiting. He knows that Oba Femi is in the back and says they both want this fight, and demands they fight right now. He says that "The Lion of Bulgaria" challenges "The Nigerian Ruler" and says that he will not leave until Oba Femi shows up. Oba Femi shows up and says Rusev has spent enough time talking before telling him to make something happen. Rusev gets in the ring and stares down Oba Femi, then both men start exchanging blows. Oba soon overpowers Rusev, but Rusev fights back. Oba soon plants Rusev with an Uranage and clotheslines him out of the ring.

The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio) shows up, and Pearce introduces them to Danhausen.

Iyo says Rhea did the same for her, and says that she went into the Elimination Chamber and proved why she is on top. She says that she will be okay on Raw, and tells Rhea to handle her business and win the WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania.

Penta beats "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio to become the WWE Intercontinental Champion after JD McDonagh grabs the ring bell hammer at Dominik's behest only for Finn to stop McDonagh and tell him to let Dominik win on his own. Dominik is able to ready Penta for the 619 afterwards, but Penta dodges it, hits the Mexican Destroyer and wins the match and the title.
Roman Reigns heads to the ring. CM Punk joins him before he can say much. Punk mentions the history between the two of them, then says that he has already won. He says the last time they were both in the ring, Roman told him that he hated him. Punk says that he has Roman where he wants him and that he is in Roman's head. Punk also says he can see right through Roman. Roman says that if it were not for the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk would not even be on his radar. He says that Punk was brought back to entertain the 30-to-40-year-old virgins and sell T-shirts, but not to become champion, then states that Punk cannot be trusted even though the fans believe him. He says that Punk bitch and moans backstage to the point that he considers Punk not to be championship material. He calls Punk "a punk ass bitch" and states that he will put Punk on "one of them John Cena retirement tours" before having him mentor people in NXT that he will smash. Roman tries to leave, but Punk does not let him, and reminds Roman that he is alone now and that he is the one who runs things while Roman cannot even get anything done on his own. Punk says he does not care if Roman hates him, but he will not let Roman disrespect him, and not only will he beat Roman, he will bury him next to his father.
