After splitting victories in recent weeks, New Day and Los Lotharios returned to battle in a tiebreaker match.

After the commercial, the action was a little more even, until Big E and his power put things in his favor, but when Kofi returned, Ángel and Humberto took advantage and the first had already set his eyes on the squad in which they arrived Kofi and Big E, but he paid dearly for his distraction when Big E recovered the vehicle and threatened to run over his partner.

Ronda Rousey was interviewed and said that Sonya Deville abused her authority.
Roman Reigns arrived with the rest of The Bloodline in the ring and asked the public to recognize him. Paul Heyman touted the match against Roman Reigns as the biggest ever at WrestleMania. Bigger than Andre The Giant vs. Hulk Hogan, than The Rock vs. Steve Austin or Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker.
Heyman said that he brought in some security officers to protect Brock Lesnar from himself and Roman Reigns.
Brock Lesnar showed up and introduced himself to Reigns and Heyman the same way Heyman had in the past. He said he’s ready to kick Reigns and Heyman’s ass and the Universal Champion was scowling. He then signed the contract and threw it at Reigns.
Heyman asked Lesnar for some respect and told him not to forget that he has his match at Madison Square Garden on March 5.
Reigns signed the contract and told Lesnar that this Championship belongs to him, just like everything else in WWE, and that everyone works for him, including the security members.
However, Lesnar did not look intimidated at all and attacked them with everything he could find, with F5 included.
