By Colin Tessier

Apollo Crews gives an interview backstage, but Big E viciously attacks him. Officials separate the two men, but Big E leaves Crews down and out.

A vignette hypes the return of Aleister Black. He says he wants people to know the truth, so he reads from a storybook. He describes a story about attending funerals and having a distant father. Black says he was only taught how to become the dragon. He calls the viewers monsters, and he says he’ll never be like them. He criticizes the lies and deceit that they pass down to their children. He says these monsters should be scorched from the Earth in favor of more fruitful things.

Backstage, the Street Profits confront the Dirty Dawgs, hoping for another title shot. Bayley interrupts the interview and talks about her title shot at WWE WrestleMania Backlash. She says she gave Belair the opportunity to work with her, and Belair never thanked her for the opportunity. Bayley vows to reclaim her title and her spot atop the division. Montez Ford calls Bianca Belair on his phone, and “The EST” says she’ll be right there.

After a commercial, Belair confronts Bayley and dares her to insult her to her face. Bayley backtracks and says she’s honored to face Belair. She walks away, comes back and laughs at Belair before she walks away again.

Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. Chad Gable & Otis

Otis overpowers Dominik early on and slams him to the mat. He trucks over Rey and Dominik at ringside. Gable continues to control the match by suplexing Dominik. Otis and Gable double-team Dominik. Gable continues to throw Dominik around the ring, but the young star counters one Suplex and tags Rey.

The former World Heavyweight Champion rallies, and the Mysterios take control of the match. Rey knocks Otis off the apron, but Otis catches a diving Dominik. Still, with the big man out of the equation, Rey pins Gable after a 619 and a frog splash.

Winners: Rey and Dominik Mysterio

In-Ring Segment: Cesaro and Daniel Bryan

Cesaro says he’s waiting to hear Reigns’ answer. Reigns comes to the ring, angry that Cesaro dared to challenge him. He stares Bryan down and says he has never liked him. He states that he’ll give Bryan one more shot at his title, and it’ll be next week on SmackDown. Cesaro tells Bryan to take it, but Reigns says when Bryan loses that match, he never wants to see Bryan again. He wants him to disappear from SmackDown. Bryan agrees to the challenge to close the show.
