Titus O' Neil stands up to Braun Strowman and then thinks twice about it before rolling out of the ring. Everyone else is outside.

Braun Strowman eliminates Apollo and then Heath Slater. Everyone else tries to eliminate Strowman but The Revival eliminates Rhyno! How is Strowman even in this?

What is Braun Strowman doing? Is he going to be a tag team by himself?

The tag team battle Royal is set to begin. And..BRAUN STROWMAN comes out?

Kurt Angle calls a referee into his office and tells him to be the referee for the Ultimate Deletion match next week. The referee hilariously asks "Did I do something wrong?". Kurt Angle tells him to make sure that the two RAW superstars make it out in one piece.

The Ultimate Deletion preview is shown. In the Hardy compound, Reby Hardy, King Maxel and Senor Benjamin are all seen!

She storms into the locker room and starts throwing everything around.

Nia Jax storms from the ring, and it seems that she's now officially turned babyface

She trashes Nia, even saying that she's as dumb as she is big. They were scheduled for an interview but Charly Caruso came late and revealed the mic in the room was on the whole time.

After the match, Nia Jax looks at the screen and there's 'co-incidentally' a camera backstage where Alexa Bliss and Mickie James are talking trash about Nia, where Alexa Bliss said she's happy carrying her bags, easy to manipulate and emotionally vulnerable, She admitted that she uses Nia.

Without hesitation, @NiaJaxWWE says she is prepared to be in @AlexaBliss_WWE's corner when she takes on @WWEAsuka next week! #RAW pic.twitter.com/yMs1999TiF

Nia Jax vs Joan King

Nia Jax just throws around the jobber and hits a Samoan drop, winning in hardly a minute!

Backstage, Alexa Bliss tries to manipulate Nia Jax once again, asking her where she was. Nia says she has a match next. Alexa Bliss tells her that she loves her and Nia reciprocates. Alexa confirms that she's facing Asuka next week, and forces Nia to be in her corner.

Being as smooth as she is, Asuka still manages to find a way to counter a Mick kick into an Asuka lock, continuing her streak.

Asuka defeated Mickie James

Alexa Bliss storms away, upset over the events that unfolded in front of her.

Mickie continues to take advantage of Asuka's injured leg, and she even goes up to the turnbuckles, only to be caught by The Empress. Mickie James even lands a beautiful sunset flip onto Asuka, but it isn't enough.

Mickie James makes sure to slam her leg against the ring post again, and the streak seems to be in jeopardy. Despite landing a vicious kick to Mickie James' head, she isn't able to get the cover.

Mickie began with the advantage over The Empress Of Tomorrow, who quickly sends her out of the ring. When Asuka attempts a kick to Mickie's head against the ringpost, the veteran moved out on time and Asuka injured her leg

"To be the woman, you've got to BEAT the woman."@WWEAsuka says she wants to face the BEST Women's Champion in @WWE at #WrestleMania! #RAW pic.twitter.com/jxUfyoneb0

Alexa tells her that she'll instead face someone she had unfinished business with, obviously hinting Nia Jax. She tries introducing her, to no avail. Alexa and Mickie James then attack Asuka and Mickie says she's ready for her right then and there.

Alexa says that it's a language barrier thing and tells the crowd that she chose the easier option. Asuka reminds Alexa that she beat her once and she can do it again, right then and there!

Alexa starts bragging about her Elimination Chamber win, and tells Asuka that she was smart to choose Charlotte, becuase she "knows" she couldn't beat Alexa. Asuka says that she chose Charlotte Flair because to be the woman, you got to beat the woman. She says she chose the best woman in WWE.

Charly Caruso asked Asuka why she chose Charlotte Flair for WrestleMania. Asuka said one word before Alexa Bliss, with Mickie James by her side. She once again pointed out Asuka's bad English, and despite her bad English, she's a fierce and smart competitor.

Why has @WWEAsuka chosen to challenge #SmackDown #WomensChampion @MsCharlotteWWE at #WrestleMania? She'll explain it all, NEXT! #RAW pic.twitter.com/xfhKEwNDIP

Asuka is coming out to address her decision to move to SmackDown Live.

The Fabulous Moolah battle Royal is announced for WrestleMania. Any woman from RAW, SmackDown Live or NXT can be a part of it. WOW.

After Seth Rollins goes for a Falcon arrow, Balor outsmarts The Architect and gets pinned by a small package!

Finn Balor defeated Seth Rollins

After a failed roll-up, Balor double-stomps Rollins and even hits the slingblade. When he goes for the drop-kick to the turnbuckle, he eats a big superkick to the face.

Rollins is still in control, having a tight headlock onto the former Universal Champion. Balor rocks the architect and begins to make a slow comeback.

The two start off even and have an early stalemate. Rollins then began to take it to Balor, getting the advantage as The Miz watches on.

Finn Balor vs Seth Rollins is on NOW!
