The show begins with "Main Event' Jey Uso being put in an ambulance , with Jacob Fatu joining him at the ambulance while demanding whoever did this be found out. Trick Williams shows up, saying "one down, four to go," and Je'Von Evans confronts him for this. As this goes on, Drew McIntyre shows up in the crowd and says he had nothing to do with what happened to Jey Uso. He says that he tells the truth all the time, yet he is guilty until proven innocent. He also mentions that he is outlawed on his own show and has to buy a luxury box to be on his own show, and says he should be able to do what he wants, when he wants, so he does. General Manager Nick Aldis shows up and tells Drew to head to his office, as there are twenty men who want to rip his head off. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up soon after, and says that he and Drew can fight right here, right now. Drew says that does not benefit him as the champion, then says he will leave because Aldis told him to. Cody Rhodes then tells Drew he has spent his entire championship reign running like a little bitch, then Randy Orton shows up. Orton says he will win in the Elimination Chamber, beat McIntyre and become a fifteen-time world champion, but as he speaks to Cody, Trick Williams shows up.

Miz announces that he is the host of this year's WrestleMania and proclaims it will be bigger than the Grammys and the Oscars, and that this year's WrestleMania will go viral. He runs down the card so far for this year's event, then Seth "Freakin'" Rollins shows up. Miz angrily asks Rollins what he is doing here, and Rollins laughs before congratulating him and saying he is not here to rain on his parade, but Miz says Rollins has done exactly that for the last three weeks. Rollins says he only stomped him because he was being a bit of a jerk and "being a bit of a b-hole." Miz says he is an A-type of person, not a B-type, and when Rollins asks if Miz is admitting he is an "A-hole," Miz says that is not what he meant. Rollins then says he has a favor to ask of him, as he has been trying to get a hold of Logan Paul and it has been proven difficult, and thinks Miz might have better success calling him as he knows him better. Miz declines, saying Logan Paul is Rollins' problem, not his. As he calls Rollins "a goofball in a stupid jacket," Rollins superkicks him. Rollins then notices Miz's cellphone and takes a picture of The Miz with it before tossing a chair out of the ring before getting a hold of Logan Paul and asking how Jake Paul is doing before proposing that Logan face him on Raw next week.

He then says that he respects Cena and that he will look Cena in the eye and give him the respect he deserves, and all he asks is that Cena give him the same treatment.

Bobby Lashley beats Elias with the Hurt Lock as Rick Boogs is taking notes on the match backstage. After the match, Lashley says that he is not in a good mood right now, because he owned Brock Lesnar at Elimination Chamber and Lesnar resorted to a low blow. He says that he wants more of Lesnar, but instead, he gets Bray Wyatt and his "kid games." Lashley says he does not play "little kid games," and warns Bray to keep his name out of his mouth, or else he will hurt him.

He says that since he was voted #1 contender for the ROH World Championship by the fans, it means that everything he says resonates with the people, which means that people are ready to see a new ROH World Champion who can deliver day in and day out. He understands that Rush is physical, but when Rush stands across the ring from him, the intimidation he brings to other people will not be in his eyes, and however hard Rush hits, he will hit harder, and he will match his intensity.

Gargano says it has been a pretty interesting couple of weeks, and not only has he shown the fans what NXT is all about as one of the newest members of Raw and SmackDown Live, he had one of the toughest matches in his career against Velveteen Dream. He told the fans that "Johnny Wrestling" was back and elevated himself to "Johnny Champion," but in his first test as champion, he failed. Gargano says he failed not only himself, but the fans, but he still feels like a champion even though the harsh reality is that he does not have a championship. As he realizes why he has had any success in NXT, Tommaso Ciampa shows up. Ciampa says that over the last week and a half, it has been noted that Gargano is at his best when he is with him. Last week, when Gargano had to defend the North American title, he offered to help him, but Gargano chose to go it alone and lost. He says it does not have to be a bad thing, and after a year and a half, it has become apparent that they need each other. He mentions General Manager William Regal announcing the return of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, where it all began. After mentioning that the winners of the Classic get a shot at the NXT tag team titles, he says that NXT TakeOver: New York could be their moment and could end the same way as TakeOver: Phoenix.

John Cena shows up to start tonight's show. Cena says he is here for the same reason as 99.9% of the SmackDown Live locker room, save for "The Artist" Shinsuke Nakamura: to find a road to WrestleMania. He announces that he wants in the Fatal 5-Way Match for the WWE Championship at Fastlane, and that he is here to do whatever it takes to earn a spot, not to get a hand-out. He is ready to figure out what he has to do. Suddenly, Commissioner Shane McMahon shows up. Shane welcomes Cena back, and says that while everyone is looking for their role in WrestleMania, the pathway he is proposing is putting him directly into the WWE Championship match. The crowd responds, and Cena says half want him to win and half want him to lose. Should Cena win, he would go on to not only main event WrestleMania, but also go in as a 17-time world champion. Shane says SmackDown Live is the land of opportunity, but before he can say much more, General Manager Daniel Bryan shows up. Daniel Bryan says everyone is on the same page, as SmackDown Live is the land of opportunity and everyone in the WWE Championship match earned an opportunity to get in. Daniel Bryan says Cena will get his opportunity, and if he wins, he is in. When Cena asks who his opponent is, Daniel Bryan says it is someone he is familiar with: the WWE Champion, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles.

Kevin Owens guests on commentary for the next match.

Baron Corbin beats Sami Zayn. Backstage during the match, Commissioner Shane McMahon tells General Manager Daniel Bryan that Kevin Owens on commentary will lead to interference, but Daniel Bryan says there is no reason for Owens to interfere in the match.

Xavier Woods says The New Day is looking for a road to WrestleMania, but Kofi Kingston says that at Fastlane, they will be facing The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) for the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Big E says their rivalry is hotter than the inside of his thighs in both the summer and winter. He then repeatedly asked to be spritzed with perfume, and is spritzed. Xavier Woods says they want the tag team titles, and Kofi says that while they respect The Usos, it is all about winning and making their way to WrestleMania. The Usos then show up, saying The New Day are at it again. They remind The New Day that the last time they met for the blue brand tag titles, they were the ones who came out on top and they have not looked back since. They admit they used to be singing and dancing and looking like Skittles like The New Day did, but it got them nowhere, and that they have been proving they are worthy of being at WrestleMania while The New Day have been dancing. Year after year for nine years, they have been passed over, having been sidelined and off the main card. The Usos say that this year will be their time. The Usos state that they will be in the game while The New Day will be on the sidelines this year, but Big E says The New Day have been at the top where they belong and busting their chops all the while. Big E also reminds them that they rushed the field and took what was theirs, and that their fathers didn't get them there. He tells The Usos that they will become five-time tag team champions, and there is nothing they can do about it. Just as both teams get in each others' faces, The Bludgeon Brothers (Harper and Rowan) show up. Harper and Rowan stand on the apron, and The New Day and The Usos both clear the ring before they get in.

Renee Young interviews Bobby Roode. For the very first time, he is excited, as he wants to be the best United States Champion in history. To do that, he must put himself against the best, and Randy Orton is one of the best of all time. As he talks about Randy's beef with him as of late, Randy shows up. Randy says it's not about the SmackDown Top 10 List, it's about the United States title, which he has never laid his hands on.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 27, 2017

Goldberg starts tonight's show. He talks about how Kevin Owens showed up all dressed up last week and talked and talked and talked. He says that he has never made a promise he has not followed through with, and promises to beat Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship and face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania. After Goldberg tells Owens he'll see him Sunday, Owens shows up. Owens says he's in as good a mood as Goldberg, and tells him he promised himself that he would grab WWE by the throat and show them what he is all about, and he followed through on his promise as he plowed through everyone in his path. He tells Goldberg that no matter how loud his name is chanted, he's next in the evolution of Kevin Owens as Universal Champion. Goldberg says the crowd should give him a hand for that speech, which did nothing but piss him off as he tells him to get in the ring so they can do it now. Owens teases fighting him, but then says that the Green Bay, Wisconsin crowd doesn't deserve to see him right. They will fight this Sunday, however, and Owens says he can't wait to destroy him and make the Goldberg chants die.

Before the next match, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) talk about being the official hosts of WrestleMania 33, then say that we should not be concerned with what's on their plate and what's what's in our bowls during a plug for Booty-O's. The focus then turns to the ice cream, and give us the slogan "New Day Pops: A mouthful of magic? I gotta have it!" The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) then show up.

Before the next match, Charlotte Flair says she still can't get over last week. She says that Bayley is a win-at-all-costs kind of person and that she is playing all of the fans and doesn't care how she won the Raw Women's Championship. She then says that Bayley is only born to be a one-hit wonder. Bayley shows up, and tells Charlotte she's beaten her three times, whether anyone likes or not, and she now dreams of going to WrestleMania as champion. Charlotte says she will regain the title before that happens, and that she will embarrass her in front of her own father at Fastlane. Suddenly, Sasha Banks shows up, saying that Bayley is everything the fans want and everything Charlotte wishes she could be. Charlotte says that Sasha should be exhausted and out of breathe from taking Bayley's spotlight, but Sasha says she's exhausted of seeing Charlotte's face and reminds Bayley they have a tag team match. Charlotte says she's right, but Dana Brooke, who is in the ring with her right now, isn't her partner. Instead, it's Nia Jax.

Rollins says that rehab is intense but going well, but is injury was worse than originally expected. He then says that he deserves this, as two years ago, he was on top and saying "I didn't sell out, I bought in," but now wonders if he bought in too much. When asked if he'll be back in time for WrestleMania, he says that his chances aren't great and that he won't be cleared in time. All of a sudden, Triple H shows up, lets him know that Samoa Joe is at ringside, and tells Rollins he won't be at WrestleMania if he knows what's good for him. He tells Rollins he knew what he was getting into, and tells him he used him up and spit him up. He then calls Rollins "the past" and a washed-up Superstar. He tells him not to come to WrestleMania and call him out, or else it will be the last thing he does in a WWE ring as he is done playing with him. Rollins tells Triple H that he's going to do it anyway, and if it's the last thing he ever does, it will be the last thing Triple H ever does.
