IC Title Contract Signing
Renee Young hosted this segment as a special contributor. She introduced Braun Strowman and Shinsuke Nakamura. Hopefully, Nakamura will be okay by the Elimination Chamber. That powerslam on the baby grant piano gashed his head open badly.
Sami Zayn said to hang on for a second and he told Braun Strowman to “grab a seat” so Braun picked up a chair and threw it to the middle of the entrance ramp.
Zayn said he wanted to read the contract. He said how they’ve been treated is a travesty of justice.
Sami tried to shame Braun for hurting Nakamura last week. Braun told him to shut up and everyone is sick and tired of hearing him bitch and moan. He said at the end of the day he’ll have to fight all three of those clowns so give me the damn contract and I’m signing it.
Zayn said “so you’re willing to fight all 3 of us?” Braun asked if Sami was really gonna spin it like that. Then they altered the contract because apparently Sami Zayn can do that. They all signed the contract.
So, it’ll be a handicap IC Title match at Elimination chamber match.
Braun moved the table and wanted to fight. Then Braun lost to the numbers game as Sami hit a Helluva Kick and Nakamura nailed a Kinshasa. Then they put Braun Strowman through the table.
They confirmed Goldberg vs Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at WrestleMania.
Daniel Bryan vs Curtis Axel
These two had a great little match as Drew Gulak sat at ringside and talked Axel up on commentary.
Axel eventually tapped to a Yes Lock.

They showed yet another moment from John Cena’s greatest hits. This time it was his 16th World Title win at the 2017 Royal Rumble.
The Miz & John Morrison
Miz and Morrison were very happy with themselves. Then they confirmed the Elimination Chamber Tag Team Title match that we previously reported.
The Usos came down and they worked the mic a bit before a match was started.
The Usos vs Miz & Morrison
The Usos worked on Miz and isolated him.
We saw a glitch that is either for Ali or Killer Kross depending on who you ask.
The Miz turned thing around on Jimmy. He tagged Morrison and he hit a forearm for a two count. Then Morrison choked Uce off the bottom rope as Miz hit a cheap shot.
The champs kept tagging in and out. Then Miz kept Uce down with a headlock. Jimmy moved and Miz missed a spear and he went outside. Morrison had taken the blind tag so he went in. Then Miz pulled Jey away as Jimmy was about to tag.
Morrison hit a springboard kick for a two count. The Miz took a Samoan Drop from Jimmy and he kicked out at two.
Uce got the crowd hyped for a hip attack, but Miz moved. Uce avoided a Skull Crushing Finale and then Morrison got the tag and hit a springboard move for a two count. Then Uce got the blind tag. They hit a double kick on Morrison. Jey hit a dive on Miz. Jimmy went for a dive, but Morrison got his knees up and rolled him up for a two count.
Morrison was lifted to the apron and he hit a forearm before climbing up. Jimmy tagged in and Morrison punched him down before trying for Starship Pain, but Uce kicked him and hung him up in the ropes.
Miz was kicked off the apron and the Usos hit a Canadian destroyer off the top and a splash for the win.
Winners: The Usos
John Cena Returns
Cena’s music hit and the Boston crowd cheered him like they’re supposed to.
He said that his heart is beating and he hyped up the Boston crowd. He got some chants and then asked “What am I doing here?” He said it’s WrestleMania season. Now they get to answer what he’s doing at Mania.
He said his road has changed but he is and will always be a WWE Superstars. “So what am I doing at WrestleMania?” He said he’s doing something different.
Cena said that he knows how hard it is to get a WrestleMania moment and he always listens to the biggest Superstar of them all: the WWE Universe.
Cena said he hears the fans after every show and they’re all passionate about the future of WWE. He said “I feel you because I am too.”
Big “Cena” chants broke out as he continued. He said he understands that he can do whatever he wants to WrestleMania and it’ll probably happen. He said he’s doing the right thing. “This year WrestleMania should go on without John Cena.”
The crowd booed. He said this is not goodbye. He said it is the right thing to do and it’s goodbye for now. He said WrestleMania spots should be earned and not demanded so this year he won’t be competing. People booed harder.
He said that he doesn’t know the next time he’ll be back. He was choking up a bit. He said it feels pretty damn good to be home in Boston to make this announcement. He hopes the world is listening too.
Cena put the microphone down and his music hit. Then he started to leave up the ramp after saying goodbye to some young fans at ringside.
He stood at the entrance ramp and game a final salute. Then the lights went down and The Fiend showed up.
The Fiend pointed to the WrestleMania sign. Then Cena tipped his hat to The Fiend and the lights went out. That was that.
