Tyler Breeze vs Heath Slater
Prince Pretty had been complaining a lot on social media lately about the fact that he was not booked for WrestleMania this Sunday. He cut a frustrated figure as he took on Heath Slater, a member of the Social Outcasts. Without his group to back him up, Slater quickly fell prey to an Unprettier.
Winner: Tyler Breeze

Breeze got onto the mic after his match, once again stating his unhappiness that he was not in a big match this Sunday. However, he revealed that Daniel Bryan had relented and given him an open contract for WrestleMania, provided he could find an opponent. So who would answer the King of Cuteville? None other than the King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura, who accepted the challenge. Breeze, a little overwhelmed, retreated from the ring, and stared Nakamura down from the safety of the ramp.
Naomi vs Charlotte
With the SmackDown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss at ringside, the number one contender Charlotte put on a dominating display. Charlotte wouldn't even need any of her finishing moves, pinning Naomi with a single Spear.
After the match, Charlotte sent a message to Alexa, locking in a Figure Eight Leglock and refusing to break the hold while Naomi vigorously tapped out. The Queen appears to be ready for WrestleMania.
Winner: Charlotte
New Stipulation Added
This Sunday, American Alpha and The Revival will meet one more time for the WWE Tag Team Titles. However, to ensure that we have a decisive winner, Daniel Bryan has added that the loser of the match cannot challenge for the titles for an entire year.
Randy Orton and Braun Strowman vs The Awesome Show-Offs
The Viper looked to reaffirm that he and the monstrous Braun Strowman were still on the same page before this Sunday's title match, and this tag team encounter seemed to do it. Orton and Strowman worked well for the most part, taking Dolph Ziggler apart and not allowing The Miz to tag in. Despite being worn down, Ziggler gave a heroic performance, and seemed to have the crowd's support, an interesting turn of events. In the end it wasn't enough, as Strowman put the Show-Off away with two big powerslams. Afterwards, he shook hands with Orton, as it seems their alliance is still intact.
Winners: Randy Orton and Braun Strowman
AJ Styles Promo
The Phenomenal One then made his way to the ring, with the promise of an explanation for his actions last week that hospitalized Triple H. However, he would never get the chance, as Shawn Michaels stormed to the ring and all hell broke lose. HBK brought his own brand of justice, as attacked AJ with brutal steel chair shots. Michaels tossed Styles out of the ring and made the ultimate tribute to his fallen friend, pulling out a sledgehammer and bashing AJ in the skull. Officials tried to talk Shawn down, but he wasn't willing to listen to reason. He laid the WWE Champion out on the announce table, then put him through it with an elbow drop from the top rope. Chaos continued to ensue as SmackDown went off the air.
