We see Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin backstage. Drew says The Shield rides again…once more to get broken by him. Corbin says they’ve been running Raw while The Shield have been squabbling in drama. McIntyre says The Shield had to be glued back together, kicking and screaming, but tonight won’t be a nice farewell show, it will be a massacre.
Elias is in the ring and he kicks right into a song about going to WrestleMania, while insulting Cleveland and The Miz along the way. And that’s it, he doesn’t get interrupted, the segment ends.
We see a replay of the Kick-Off Show, where Kofi Kingston got asked to head to the McMahon’s office.
SmackDown Live Women’s Championship Match
(C) Asuka Vs. Mandy Rose W/Sonya Deville
The bell rings and they lock-up Asuka takes Mandy down with grappling and applies a kneebar but Mandy grabs the ropes. Asuka then shoulder blocks Mandy to the mat, before slamming her into the corner. Asuka grabs an ankle lock but Deville slides into the ring to distract the Champion. Mandy then hits a jumping knee to Asuka for a two count.
Mandy connects with a suplex and attempts multiple unsuccessful pinfalls. Rose applies pumphandle stretch. Asuka reverses Mandy and applies an octopus stretch. Sonya is looking under the ring on the outside. Rose escapes by lifting Asuka above her head then slamming her down but she kinda messed it up.
Asuka fires back with a knee, then a flurry of strikes to floor Mandy. Rose grabs Asuka, looking for her finisher but Asuka escaped and connected with a knee to the face. On the outside, Sonya grabs a Kendo stick. Asuka whipped Rose into the ropes but she slipped and fell on the apron Deville had lifted up. Asuka then connected with a roundhouse kick for the win.
Winner: Mandy Rose
After the match Mandy won’t accept Sonya’s apology for leaving the apron up and costing her the match. She keeps apologising as they leave up the ramp.
