Tye Dillinger vs Curtis Axel
Tye went in search of his first win here in Universe Mode, as he faced Curtis Axel, who had the support of fellow stable mates Heath Slater and Bo Dallas. Despite this, the numbers game was always going to be in favor of the Perfect Ten, and a Tye Breaker put Axel to sleep.
After the match though, things weren't quite as perfect for Tye, as he was jumped by Slater and Dallas. Tye might've won the match, but the Social Outcasts left him laying.
Winner: Tye Dillinger
The Miz Promo
We were interrupted by The Miz, who seemed to be in a foul mood. He demanded a mic and went on a rant against SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan. For too long, The Miz has been overlooked and undervalued. He's a former Intercontinental Champion, but still he doesn't get the respect he deserves. It's time for The Miz to rise, it's time for the Awesome One to take over, regardless of whether Bryan likes it or not.
Dana Brooke vs Nia Jax
Emma accompanied her tag team partner to the ring, but Dana Brooke had little chance against Nia Jax. The Hybrid Athlete ran right through Brooke, and even Emma's interference did little to stop her. A big leg drop spelled the end for the Total Diva.
After the match, Alexa Bliss returned to a big ovation. The former SmackDown Women's Champion looked to get her some of Nia Jax, but even the element of surprise wasn't enough. Bliss was laid out as well, leaving Nia standing alone.
Winner: Nia Jax
Cesaro vs Roman Reigns
The Swiss Superman raised the stakes for this WrestleMania rematch when he put his championship opportunity on the line, and the tension in the arena could be cut with a knife. Both Cesaro and Roman Reigns know each other well after their first encounter, and they went right at it. Cesaro worked a slower pace, understanding that the younger man would feel the nerves of the occasion. Reigns, though, stayed calm, slowing his game down and looking for openings. One was created when he counted a suplex and followed up with a Superman Punch. A Spear was forthcoming, but Cesaro had it scouted, and countered into a Swiss Death. The Sharpshooter was locked in, but Reigns countered into a powerbomb. A stalemate was reached, and then broken with a Neutralizer from the King of Swing. Once more, the Big Dog showed his fortitude when he got the shoulder up at two. Cesaro looked nonplussed, and that was when all hell broke lose. Brock Lesnar charged the ring, just like last week, and laid waste to anyone and everyone. There was a F-5 waiting for both Cesaro and Reigns, and the Beast Incarnate stood tall once more.
