The opening segment of the show saw Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross walkout to host A Moment of Bliss. The two women ran down the lineup for this year's Hall of Fame induction ceremony and challenged The Kabuki Warriors for a shot at the forgotten WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

The duo introduced nWo who came out to big applause. Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, and Kevin Nash spoke about many things followed by their take on Roman Reigns vs Goldberg for WrestleMania 36. Nash did a decent job of hyping up this feud and making the clash between Reigns and Goldberg seem more real.

Lastly, Sami Zayn came out to run his mouth all over the place and almost got himself, Cesaro, and Shinsuke Nakamura in a match against the New World Order.

However, Intercontinental Champion Braun Strowman came out to send the heels running and stood tall with the Hall of Famers to close out the segment.

This was a good opening segment that allowed new challengers for the forgotten titles to emerge, have someone put their weight behind Reigns vs Goldberg, and finally helped Strowman build towards becoming a bigger Superstar and standing tall with the legends.
