Backstage, Apollo Crews says all of Nigeria is celebrating his victory at WrestleMania. Crews says he would give Big E a rematch tonight but he isn’t here tonight. Why? Because of the Nigerian Nail. Crews throws to footage of his large friend dropping Big E with the Nigerian Nail. Crews introduces us to Commander Azeez. Crews exclaims that if anyone comes for his Intercontinental Championship they will be destroyed by the Nigerian Nail.
Championship Celebration
The Street Profits are in the ring and there are balloons all over. Dawkins says there are going to take back their titles tonight. Ford says this weekend they received a bit of motivation. They are going to raise their solo cups tonight to celebrate a glass ceiling-shattering victory Ford is going to be telling his grandkids about. Ford and Dawkins introduce the NEW SmackDown Women’s champion, Bianca Belair. Belair skips to the ring and is all smiles. Ford hands his wife a microphone and she is overcome with emotion.
The crowd showers her with EST chants. Belair says she feels so blessed and despite everything she’s had to go through that dreams do come true. If you had asked her a year ago if she would end up main eventing WrestleMania and winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship… she probably would have said yes. Yeah, she would have said yes and that’s not cockiness. It’s confidence. Belair says she couldn’t have done it without Sasha Banks. If Banks forgets, Belair left her something to remember her by. Belair tells Ford that it’s time to go to work and Ford and Dawkin need to get the tag titles back because they only were gold in their house.
Backstage, Sasha Banks is with Kayla Braxton. Before Kayla can ask a question Banks gets upset and looks down at the scar on her stomach. Banks storms off.
