• Wade Barrett moderated a face-to-face meeting between Charlotte Flair and WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton. Flair said she picked Stratton as her challenger because she had not done her charity work before, declaring there was no comparison between her and Stratton. Stratton then responded by saying that no matter how many titles she wins, Flair would always be in the shadow of her father. Flair said Stratton was saying stuff she had heard from her opponents over the last 10 years, but Flair kept being cut off by the crowd. Stratton told Flair would be alone outside the ring and said she was now "0-3". Flair responded by asking Stratton if that's the reason that her boyfriend Ludwid Kaiser is in her DMs, but Stratton no-sold it as her theme music played.

• Nick Aldis introduced Kevin Owens.

Aldis confirmed that Orton was currently off the WrestleMania card, which led to Orton hitting an RKO on Aldis.
