- The opening match of the night saw The Usos retain the SmackDown Tag Team Titles over Rick Boogs and Shinsuke Nakamura.

- After months of Happy Corbin causing Drew McIntyre nothing but grief, the two men faced off at WrestleMania 38. The Scottish Warrior would score the win, hitting a Claymore on Corbin. Not only that, but he made history (of sorts) by being the first person to kick out of Corbin's End of Days. After the match, Madcap Moss tried to get in the ring but was stopped by McIntyre, who sliced through the ropes with his sword, Angela.
