The show opens with Vince McMahon in a limo. Makes his driver shine the back of the limo before walking backstage.
Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring. The crowd chants, “get these hands.” Strowman says Brock Lesnar has always been afraid of him although he won’t admit it and that his biggest fear is about to come true when he takes his title at WWE Royal Rumble.
Baron Corbin interrupts and tries to talk but Strowman doesn’t let him. Corbin threatens to stay there all night until he’s able to say what he wants. Corbin ends up mocking Strowman for how long he lasted against Lesnar the first time, says he won’t ever beat the champion. Corbin then says he’s going to win the Rumble before Strowman chases him backstage.
The camera turns to Elias who sings about knowing where Corbin is hiding, it’s inside the limo. Strowman hears and makes his way to it. He pulls the driver and throws him, tries to make his way to the back but Corbin locked it. Braun smashes the window while Corbin is begging, “no.” Mr. McMahon eventually makes his way back to the limo, looking angry and surprised before going to commercials.
Back from break, Strowman attempts to put the door he broke, back on. Mr. McMahon yells at Braun, saying it’s going to cost him $100,000. Strowman yells and Mr. McMahon takes him out of his championship matchup against Lesnar. He ends up getting angry and flips over the limo.

Charley interviews the winners and Banks plays the heel while Rousey attempts to give her praise, saying it would be an honor to defend the title against her. Banks takes offense to being ranked on Rousey’s list of accomplishments and tells Rousey to ask Tamina or Jax how her submissions feels. Sasha proceeds to get in Rousey’s face and says she will teach her how to lose with class.
Rousey says Banks can keep the title of the most classiest loser, because she doesn’t want it. Banks says don’t forget who you called out, “you said I was the best, not the other day around.” Banks vows to make Ronda tap out at WWE Royal Rumble.
