- 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 announced there would be a gauntlet match to crown the #1 Contenders for the WWE Women's Tag Titles for WrestleMania 41.

- Nick Aldis introduced Kevin Owens. Owens revealed he had been dealing with an injured neck for months, but now was forced to get neck surgery, meaning that the match against Randy Orton for WrestleMania 41 would be cancelled. Orton came to the ring to try and speak with Owens, but Owens left the ring immediately. Aldis confirmed that Orton was currently off the WrestleMania card, which led to Orton hitting an RKO on Aldis.
- WWE United States Championship - #1 Contender's Last Man Standing Match: Jacob Fatu def. Braun Strowman.
- Roman Reigns (with Paul Heyman) came to the ring to call out CM Punk and explain his decision regarding the "favor" he owed to Paul Heyman, but Seth Rollins interrupted.

CM Punk finally appeared before revealing what the favor: Paul Heyman would be his manager for the Triple Threat at WrestleMania 41. Punk hit the GTS on Reigns and had staredown with Seth Rollins to end the broadcast.
