Kevin Owens heads to the ring to start tonight's show. After a "Hey yo" in tribute to Scott Hall, Owens says he is the happiest Canadian camper on earth because he is going to the main event of WrestleMania Saturday thanks to tonight's guest, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Owens says he thought about what he could do, and says that since "none of these yellow-teethed Texans" can turn down a challenge, he challenged Austin himself, and now the entire world gets to witness the most stupendous Kevin Owens Show of all time when he beats Austin all over Texas. Owens tells Austin he heard what he had to say, and says that nobody will be saying "Oh hell yeah" when he is done with Austin and that everyone will say "Oh hell no" when he beats the hell out of him. Owens then hits the cameraman in the ring with a Stunner.

Owens arrives, then mentions The Kevin Owens Show with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin before proposing have a talk show of his own with Austin, but Owens says that is not exactly the best plan. Rollins proposes that the two of them have a match to see who will have a talk show at WrestleMania after realizing there cannot be two talk shows, but this leads to Owens and Rollins arguing over Steve Austin. Sonya Deville then shows up and makes Rollins vs. Owens the main event, and announces that if Rollins beats Owens, he will replace Owens at WrestleMania, much to Owens' chagrin.

Edge heads to the ring. Edge says that he is "the benchmark of the WWE," then says it took him some time to decode what he has become before saying that the fans cannot understand because they are "simple." He says that he is better than everyone in the entire industry, but when he returned two years ago, he did not have that aptitude, because the Edge that returned was "weak." He then states that he realized that the fans do not matter to him, and that in trying to appease the fans, he took the eyes off the prize and allowed Randy Orton to injure him and Seth Rollins to take his title opportunity and invade his property. He also says that this allowed Roman Reigns to beat him with a stack-up pin before saying "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles would leave "that Edge" in the dust at WrestleMania. Edge then says "that Edge is dead" and that he will not be judged by anyone. Edge says he will be passing the verdicts from atop his "mountain of omnipotence" and that he will be unapologetic for it, and states that if Styles makes it to WrestleMania, he will be judged.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Bianca Belair, who says her hair is an advantage and a disadvantage and that she used her hair after Becky Lynch used it first. Bianca says she stays true to herself and that this is the weapon Becky is afraid of. She then says that the quiet is the real advantage she has, as Becky Lynch is not running her mouth, and says that she will make Doudrop an example of what she will do to Becky at WrestleMania.

We hear from Veer Mahaan, who says that you can run from your shadow and hide in the dark, but it is a matter of time before the coming storm. Veer Mahaan is coming to Raw.

RK-Bro (Randy Orton and Matt Riddle) head to the ring for their championship celebration. Riddle celebrates the fact that he and Orton are going to WrestleMania, and Orton says that he has done the math and that he will have been at WrestleMania eighteen times this year. He states that he has never been tag team champion going into the event, and never had a tag team partner like Riddle up until that point. Orton then says he has returned the favor by organizing the party this time around. Orton admits he is not much of a party planner, but Riddle says this is the greatest night of his career. As Orton is about to give Riddle a gift, The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) show up. Montez Ford congratulate RK-Bro on winning the Raw Tag Team Championships, then says they are here on business to challenge them for the tag team titles at WrestleMania. Orton reminds The Street Profits that he and Riddle had to jump over hoops and hurdles to get the titles back, then declines the challenge. Montez says that RK-Bro owes them a match and that they are taking their opportunity. Orton says nobody has told him what to do in the ring since he first stepped into the ring and that The Street Profits are no exception, then tells them to turn around and leave before he makes them. Riddle says that The Street Profits have a point and that they did beat them, and that have to face someone at WrestleMania and it is the right thing to do. Orton tells The Street Profits that they are lucky Riddle is cool, then accepts their challenge before Montez tells them that the next time they are in Jacksonville, Florida, they can throw a party that isn't "ass." Riddle refuses to take the disrespect towards Orton's party planning and says he does not want to wait until WrestleMania now. This starts a match.

Rey Mysterio heads to the ring to start tonight's show. The show is surrounded by the Cell. Rey says that any parent watching knows what he feels right now: the feeling of pain, hurt and sadness. He says that he has told his son Dominik Mysterio the risks of getting in the ring, but he knew the risks and is able to walk. He says that Roman Reigns picked up his son and tossed him like a bag of bricks all the way down to the floor, and that he will never forget the sound and the look in Dominik's eyes as he suffered in pain. He also says that he will never forget the man who did this to him - Roman Reigns - and that he wants his revenge in Hell In A Cell tonight. Rey says he knows that Roman accepted his challenge last night on Twitter, then says he wants to hear it from Roman in person and says "Get out here, you son of a bitch!" Suddenly, the Cell lowers around Rey, then Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman show up. Roman says they do not have to do this, that he does not want to hurt Rey and that this is not his fault, and also says that Rey does not want to be in the Cell with him, saying that what he did to Dominik will be "PG" compared to what he will do to Rey. When Roman asks if he still wants to do this, Rey responds by saying "I've never been more ready in my life." Roman says he tried to be diplomatic, but now they will do things his way.

She then says that this is Bayley's cue, but Bayley doesn't show up. She says that Bayley's games almost worked, as it made her second-guess herself and brought her back to being made fun of as a girl when she was some much more that what people thought, but she says she defines herself and is unapologetically herself. Bianca says that Bayley will physically and mentally give her everything she's got, then tells Bayley that on Sunday, she does not just want her in the ring, she wants her inside Hell In A Cell, and that Bayley won't be laughing when she drags her around the Cell. She also says that Bayley will be begging her to stop and that she will remain WWE SmackDown Women's Champion. She says that people ignore you, then laugh at you, then fight you and then you win. Bayley gets in the ring and tries to punch Bianca in the face, but Bianca blocks it and starts a brawl. Bayley turns the tables by grabbing Bianca's hair and pulling her into the barricade before hitting her in the ring with the Rose Plant. Bayley then stands on Bianca's hair while holding up the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship while her visage fills the Thunderdome.

Roman says he does not need it and tells him that they both need Jey, as they are at their best when they are together.

Rollins shows up, and Cesaro is about to confront him when Rollins says he is here for a conversation, not a fight. He then takes over for Kayla Braxton on the interview and tells Cesaro that he disgusts him. Rollins says that everything Cesaro does and stands for is a disgrace, and that he does not even deserve a single ounce of respect. He then says that on Sunday, he will show him and everyone like him what he does deserve when he puts him in his place. Cesaro says he did not think Rollins had it in him to face him like a man, and says that he respects what he says and who he is as a competitor, and that he will see him on Sunday.
