The night started with a fight between Cody Rhodes and Ludwig Kaiser in which, as expected, The American Nightmare claimed the victory
After the match, Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa would take on Cody and report that Rhodes will take on Sikoa on Monday’s Raw. Heyman would also do a mockup of how he would introduce Cody if he were his client; And finally, I want to report that Roman Reigns will be on SmackDown next Friday for one last face-off between Cody and the Tribal Chief before WrestleMania
It has been reported that the match between John Cena and Austin Theory for the US title will kick off Night 1 of WrestleMania
Charlotte Flair would go out to do a promo reiterating that she’s a 14-time women’s champion and that people think she’s conceited to say it, she’s only saying it because she’s proud and plans to continued to bear the surname Flair high up.
With his wife and daughter watching, Rey Mysterio was defeated by LA Knight due to Dominik’s intervention.
After the match, Dominik insulted his mother and sister, which ultimately caused Rey to lose control and attack his son to confirm their match at WrestleMania.
Shotzi and Natalya defeated Lacey Evans and Xia Li to qualify for the fatal four-way match at WrestleMania. After the fight, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler would show up to announce that they will also be in the fight
Contract signing between Sheamus, Drew McIntyre and GÜNTHER. In it, Sheamus continued to complain to Drew for “realizing his dream” of becoming Intercontinental Champion, but GUNTHER was quick to complain about having to attend a fight where he won his title without the pin could lose. Everything would end when Butch attacked GÜNTHER, so a fight between the two was arranged
GÜNTHER defeated Butch. After the fight, Drew would attach a claymore to the champion and end up coming face-to-face with Sheamus
To wrap up the show we would have a re-run of the KO show. In doing so, Kevin Owens would give a great introduction to his brother Sami Zayn, who will be the special guest tonight. With both in the ring, KO Sami would say he had a present for him. Owens pulled out a t-shirt that had the word “KOMania” written on it, but that was just the back of the t-shirt… KO would say it’s KOMania every year, but this year WrestleMania has a clear protagonist: Sami Zayn . So we could read on the front of the shirt “WrestleZAYNia” what moved Sami and both hugged to the applause of the audience.
The Usos would however attack their challengers and manage to injure Sami but eventually KO would drive them off to end this #SmackDown
