Paul Heyman is in the ring. He says he knows a lot about extreme in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and states that this Sunday, Brock Lesnar will cash in his Money In The Bank contract, and that is a spoiler. He says he has not violated a spoiler since before WrestleMania 30, and if there was a time for him to lie, it would be now, and he could be telling the truth or a lie and only he knows the answer. He then says that only one other person knows the answer: Brock Lesnar.

Nikki says she will help Alexa take the SmackDown Women's title from her, and advises Bayley to go and find a friend of her own, as she will need someone as loyal and honest as Alexa to slap some sense into her.

Becky says she and Rollins have backed up everything they have said, and on Sunday, there are no rules, she is taking the handcuffs off and she is not holding back, and that they will walk out as champions. After Becky leaves, Seth says "Uh...yeah. What she said," then leaves.

He then says Rollins has proved himself a fool, as Lesnar beat them all regardless and Drew McIntyre got up on Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose like he will do to Seth Rollins tonight. As he asks Drew McIntyre - who he calls "a career killer" - what he is thinking, McIntyre shows up and says he is earning the respect he has been looking for in WWE.

Suddenly, McIntyre is attacked from behind with a steel chair. McIntyre's assailant happens to be Seth Rollins, and referees tell Seth to head to the back.

He then says his mystery partner will get his hands on both him and Lashley, and that mystery partner is Braun Strowman.

It's time for A Moment Of Bliss. Tonight's special guest is Elias. After Michael Cole runs down the card so far for WrestleMania 35, Alexa says he is the only person worthy of hosting the show. She says she feels like a really good talk show host after inspiring people such as Lilly Singh to host her own, then introduces Elias. Elias shows up, and Alexa says that this is a safe place and that nobody will interrupt his big announcement. Elias announces that he will be the headlining musical act at WrestleMania, in "the greatest city of them all" New York City. Elias says that what happened last year is the motivation for this year, and he not lives in the moment in pressure, he thrives in it. He says that if his performance was a game-winning field goal, he would make it every single time, as his performance will the best by virtually anyone. Before he can say what will happen to anyone who dares to interrupt him, No Way Jose's conga line - led by Otis and Tucker of Heavy Machinery - starts dancing around the stage.

She admits she was content to watch the Women's Revolution from the commentary table until Nia Jax and Tamina tried to set it all back with their jealousy and pettiness. However, Nia and Tamina also "awoke the dragon." This got her thinking that maybe her and Natalya's dream could still become a reality, and while she loved her WWE career, there has been one thing missing: tag team gold. Beth announces that since Bayley and Sasha want to be fighting champions, she wants to step out of retirement, stand with Natalya and challenge Sasha and Bayley for the women's tag team titles at WrestleMania. Bayley says that this would be an honor, but asks if Beth Phoenix needs more time to prepare as competition has evolved since she left.

He says that Seth Rollins is a coward for hitting him with the steel chair in response for pulling back the curtain and revealing Roman to be mortal, and says Roman is now sitting at home because of him. McIntyre says that if Roman wants to be a hero so badly, then he challenges him to a fight at WrestleMania.
