Randy Orton was interviewed by Renee backstage. Orton said that he wasn’t afraid of Styles, and said that he was one RKO from facing Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania.
Dean Ambrose called out Baron Corbin once again
Curt Hawkins called out Dean Ambrose to “face the facts”. Ambrose came out and clotheslined Hawkins, and accused Corbin of not having “testicles”. Corbin once again popped up on the screen and told Ambrose that he doesn’t come out when being called. He also told Ambrose he would take his title as well.
Ambrose said that if Corbin wasn’t coming out, he would go to Corbin. As he exited, Curt Hawkins once again stopped him but was met with the Dirty deeds.
Ambrose was seen walking backstage searching for Corbin.
Dasha Fuentes was interviewing Mojo Rawley, who was making an announcement. He spoke about Zack Ryder’s WrestleMania moment the previous year and announced himself as the first entrant to the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Dolph Ziggler came in clapping sarcastically and said that no one is owed a WrestleMania moment, and it has to be earned. Rawley asked if that was the reason why Ziggler didn’t have a WrestleMania moment, and Ziggler told Rawley not to hurt himself grabbing the brass ring
While Ambrose was still searching for Corbin, Corbin, hiding behind a pillar, shoved someone at him and attacked Ambrose with a rod. He then trapped him with a forklift before being stopped by referees.
SmackDown Live Blissertation
Alexa Bliss came in with Mickie James and started dissing her fellow-SmackDown Live female superstars, including calling Becky “Chuckie”. Becky Lynch came out and told Alexa that she would take the title from Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania.
Right as she said it, Natalya came out. She said that she and Alexa had a “good talk” the prior week and came to an understanding. She told Becky that she and Alexa were championship calibre material, and Becky wasn’t.
Alexa told Natalya that they did not come to an understanding. She told Natalya that she was the “worst there is, worst there was, and the worst there ever will be”. Mickie James said that Alexa was going to announce who she was going to face at WrestleMania, which Mickie assumed as going to be her. Alexa seemed taken aback, and there appeared to be a misunderstanding.
Out came Daniel Bryan. He said that he would grade the “Blissertation” an “F”, and told Alexa that since she claimed that she was the best, she would have to defend the title against every available woman on the SmackDown Live roster.
Bryan then took a page out of former SmackDown manager Teddy Long’s playbook and made a tag team match between Alexa Bliss and Mickie James against Natalya and Becky Lynch.
