The Usos cut a backstage promo on a smoky set of stairs. They named off all the SD teams and said none of them are like the Usos. This is true.
Randy Orton Promo
The Viper said that there is something he has to get off of his chest. What he doesn’t understand is in 2002 Styles was wrestling in high school gyms in front of 10 people while RKO was making his WWE debut. In 2004 Randy was winning the WWE Title and becoming the youngest champion ever. Then he went on to compare their careers and how much better Randy Orton’s has been when compared to Orton.
Randy said that SmackDown was built by him because this house was the house that Randy Orton built. Let’s get that on some WWE merch, STAT.
AJ Styles came out and was flattered that Orton followed his career so closely. Then Styles said a guy like Orton wouldn’t make it on the indies and he called the RKO a Diamond Cutter knockoff.
RKO claimed that AJ’s “indie friends” ripped off the too sweet. Styles called Orton out for having babysitters for his entire career like Triple H, Edge, etc.
They fired back and forth with some accolades and finally decided to throw down because Orton said it is his house and “rent is due, bitch.” Finally, AJ Styles said, “You want your rent, Randy well come and take it” while pointing at the WrestleMania sign.
Asuka vs Sonya Deville
Sonya ended up getting the upperhand on Asuka as Mandy Rose watched on and Corey Graves praised Mandy for being a golden goddess.
Then Asuka nailed a knee and another knee and Deville rolled out of the ring. Asuka nailed Mandy with a sliding dropkick and then Sonya took control until Sonya apparently slipped (it wasn’t done well) and then Asuka got the Asukalock and the win.
Winner: Asuka
After the match was over, there was some obvious tension between Mandy and Sonya.
The IIconics cut a great promo backstage on the Boss n Hug Connection. They
