Cesaro vs Sheamus
Cesaro will represent SmackDown in just under two weeks at WrestleMania, and looked to get in shape for that match as he faced Sheamus. The Celtic Warrior did his best, but couldn't match Cesaro's power, whiffing on a Brogue Kick and falling prey to a Neutralizer.
Winner: Cesaro
Cesaro Promo
The Swiss Superman then requested a mic. He stated that, although he is a former WWE Champion and King of the Ring winner, the Brand Warfare Match is the biggest opportunity of his career. Not only for himself, but also for the brand that he loves, SmackDown. He must emerge victorious; he cannot fail his GM, his fans or himself. At WrestleMania, Cesaro will defeat Roman Reigns, and SmackDown will get the recognition it deserves.
Nia Jax vs Charlotte and Alexa Bliss
This match came after Nia Jax, the newest member of SmackDown's women's division, called into question Charlotte and Alexa Bliss being a featured match at WrestleMania. Neither of these women were going to take that insult lightly, and teamed up to face Nia in a handicap match. However, Charlotte stayed out for the most part, letting Alexa do most of the work. Nia dominated the much smaller Bliss, and the champ seemed to be in trouble. Alexa went deep into her bag of tricks, pulling out a vicious snap DDT to surprise Nia and pick up the win.
It would be Charlotte who got the last laugh, as she blindsided the exhausted champion after the match. She planted Alexa with a Natural Selection, and stood tall, holding Alexa's title aloft.
Winners: Charlotte and Alexa Bliss
Tyson Kidd vs Braun Strowman
Tyson Kidd may be a former WWE Champion, and a fired up man after being assaulted by Randy Orton a few weeks ago, but he stood no chance against Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men dispatched of Kidd with little resistance, finishing him off with a running powerslam.
After the match, GM Daniel Bryan made a huge announcement. At WrestleMania, Randy Orton will defends his Intercontinental Title against Tyson Kidd.......and Braun Strowman, in a triple threat match!
Winner: Braun Strowman
The Revival vs The Club- #1 Contender's Match for the WWE Tag Team Titles
This was a high-stakes match, with the winners heading to WrestleMania to face American Alpha once more. The power of Luke Gallows was the story of the match throughout, as Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder struggled against the big man. Gallows took out Dawson, and Karl Anderson tagged in, looking for the win. He connected with a Gun Stun, but Dawson, clever as a fox, got his foot to the bottom rope. Anderson couldn't believe it, and The Revival rallied to connect with a Shatter Machine and get one more shot at Chad Gable and Jason Jordan.
Winners: The Revival
Triple H vs AJ Styles
It was time for the Phenomenal One to play The Game, and AJ Styles and Triple H beat the hell out of each other in an excellent main event. Styles tried to stay away from Triple H's power moves, avoiding the Spinbuster and the Pedigree multiple times. He used his speed and agility to keep control of the match, and he even connected with a Phenomenal Forearm, though it didn't put Triple H away. AJ made a huge mistake, giving his opponent time to recover, and paid for it, leaping right into a Pedigree. It was the champion's turn to kick out, and AJ rallied. A series of neckbreakers preceded the first Styles Clash, but not the last. When Triple H kicked out, the Phenomenal One lost it. The fight spilled to the outside, where Styles caused a lot of chaos. He laid Triple H out with a German Suplex, before taking the easy way out, re-entering the ring for a count-out win.
The WWE Champion wasn't done there, as he looked to send a message to the Heart-Break Kid. He lifted an unconscious Triple H to his feet, and planted him on the concrete with another Styles Clash. Shawn Michaels rushed to ringside to check on his best friend, while AJ celebrated another shortened career.
Winner: AJ Styles
It has now become personal between champion and challenger, with AJ Styles injuring Shawn Michaels' best friend and tag team partner. How will the Showstopper respond?
