🔵 Charlotte Flair vs. Dakota Kai w/ IYO SKY & Raw Women's Champion Bayley: 7min*

With Charlotte Flair set for a Raw Women's Title Match at WrestleMania against Bayley, she battles Damage CTRL's one half of the Women's Tag Champions Dakota Kai!

Before the match began, Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan made a surprise appearance on SmackDown to challenge Damage CTRL for the Women's Tag Titles, after all, it was Morgan who Bayley beat to win the Raw Women's Title.

Charlotte Flair wins!

🔵 Cody Rhodes sides with Sami Zayn to confront Sikoa and The Usos as they prepare for Roman Reigns' return next week: 10min*

It'll be Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania but he couldn't sit in the back and watch Sami Zayn being run over by the number advantage as Zayn more desperate than ever to destroy The Bloodline, especially that Kevin Owens refused to side with him.

🔵 Sami Zayn w/ Cody Rhodes vs. Jimmy Uso w/ Sikoa, Heyman & Jey Uso: 9min*

With Sami Zayn standing his ground against Jimmy Uso for the majority of the match, Sikoa and Jey Uso had no other options but jump Zayn and end the match in a DQ for Zayn's favor!

This prompted a 2-on-3 battle that was eventually equalized by Kevin Owens' arrival.

Thanks to Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn shared a hug and were able to put their past grievances aside for the goal of ending The Bloodline.

This all happens six days removed from Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns return!

🔹 BACKSTAGE: The "Unhinged" Nikki Cross snaps and attacks Shotzi during her continued hunt for Natalya!

🔵 The Miz asks John Cena about his change of attitudes which the latter denies as a sole interpretation of a "portion" of the WWE Universe and affirms his loyalty and respect: 8min*

🔹 BACKSTAGE: LA Knight promises a "massive" WrestleMania announcement next week!

🔵 Gunther w/ Imperium vs. Chad Gable w/ Otis: 10min*

Chad Gable puts up a fight against the US Champion Gunther and it paid off when Cena shockingly appeared to distract Gunther handing Gable an assist for victory! Is this revenge for Gunther interfering in last week's tag match between Imperium and Alpha Academy or is this Cena sending another statement to Gunther in his quest to get a US Title Match at WrestleMania? The confusion of morales continues...

🔵 MAIN EVENT: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Cody Rhodes: 13min*

In a high-stakes main event that promised both intensity and intrigue, Cody Rhodes and Shinsuke Nakamura, who now embodies a sadistic persona, put on a banger of a match with back and forth all throughout!

Nakamura's vicious assault on Rhodes last week has made this match all the more intriguing with him promising to deter Rhodes from his WrestleMania destiny.

Cody Rhodes wins in a heroic effort!
