Dominik then says no one talks to Ripley that way and Lynch tells him to pipe down. Lynch then tells Dominik she will put him in his place and tells Ripley she has been on quite the run. Lynch then says while Dominik has been feeding Ripley grapes, she has been the backbone of this company all while writing a book.

RAW General Manager Adam Pearce and other officials run down to the ring before Jax can do so and Pearce demands that Jax leaves unless she wants to receive a fine. Jax then leaves.

We then head to the back, where Jackie Redmond interviews Nia Jax. Jax says there is no way Lynch should be going to WrestleMania after Jax beat her clean. Jax then says Liv Morgan would get ten times worse than what Lynch got tonight.

Cathy Kelley is then shown interviewing “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes. She is wondering if challenging The Rock was a smart strategy this close to WrestleMania 40. Rhodes says it wasn’t really about strategy as it was simple because Rock slapped him across the face and he challenged Rock to a match. Rhodes then says he is looking forward to The Rock’s response on Smackdown.

Kelley then asks Rhodes about Grayson Waller. Rhodes says he liked Waller enough and Waller should like him as well. Rhodes also says on his first appearance on The Grayson Waller Effect he brought back “Main Event” Jey Uso to RAW.

GUNTHER also says he could feel the title slipping away, but it didn’t matter. GUNTHER also says no one is perfect, but he is close. GUNTHER also says he has put his heart, soul and body into making this title the most prestigious in this company. GUNTHER also says he has defeated everyone put in his path so who will he face at WrestleMania.

GUNTHER then names a bunch of potential challengers and laughs them all off. The Judgement Day then interrupts and “Señor Money In The Bank” Damian Priest says they ran the table at Elimination Chamber and plan on doing the same at WrestleMania. Priest also says The Judgement Day plans on adding more gold, meaning the Intercontinental Title. GUNTHER then laughs and says Priest obviously isn’t cashing in the MITB briefcase on him, so who is the challenger? “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio then steps in front of Priest and gets drowned out in boos. GUNTHER then pushes Priest, but Bálor and the rest of The Judgement Day hold Priest back to end the segment.

Gable then says GUNTHER laughed at her misery and called him a bad father. Gable then says to anyone else this was just a championship match, but to him it meant more.

Prior to the next match, Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark say they didn’t appreciate that Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae got a Women’s Tag Team Title shot just because Hartwell was from Australia.

Rollins welcomes the fans to Monday Night Rollins and says he is the only thing standing in McIntyre’s way. McIntyre then chastises Rollins for being distracted by the drama happening on SmackDown with The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes. McIntyre then tells Rollins that if he doesn’t mind his business, The Bloodline will interfere in their match at WrestleMania and The Bloodline will taint McIntyre’s victory.

Rollins also says McIntyre may be right and WrestleMania may be an easy night for him, but what if McIntyre is wrong.

Rollins also says taking down The Bloodline is bigger than all of them. Rollins also says that it doesn’t matter if he is champion or McIntyre is champion because at some point The Bloodline is going to come for this title.

Jackie Redmond is then shown interviewing “Main Event” Jey Uso. Redmond asks Jey how he would rebound after losing last week. Jey says he would keep being himself and keep being “Main Event” Jey Uso. Jey then says he was close to becoming the Intercontinental Champion and every time he comes close to something, he comes up short. Jey also says every time he was trying to win a title, do something positive or bring himself up, he comes up short and that is because of a past enemy on RAW or even his own family.

Drew McIntyre then approaches Jey Uso and tells him that he wants Jey to know from the bottom of his heart that he deserves this. Jey uso then attacks Drew McIntyre and they brawl until it was quickly broken up by officials.

Heyman starts off by introducing himself, but Rhodes interrupts him and says he doesn’t care. Rhodes then tells The Bloodline to come and get him if it’s a set-up and Heyman insists it’s not a set-up. Heyman says he is the only member of The Bloodline in the SAP Center. Heyman then says the three men behind him are suspended NYPD officers and tells Rhodes to keep The Rock’s name out of his mouth. Heyman then pleads with Rhodes to withdraw his challenge for a match against The Rock.

Rhodes says he hasn’t spoken about The Rock on the microphone or trashed him in the media because he was a fan. Rhodes also says no one sold more tickets than him and he is done being nice. Rhodes then reiterates to The Bloodline to come and get him if it’s a set-up and Heyman asks him if he can get in the ring. Rhodes tells Heyman he can’t and the officers get inside. Rhodes then says if one more person takes one step closer to him, he will drop everyone inside the ring.

Heyman then asks if that applies to him and Rhodes says he is wrong. Rhodes then goes after the officers and hits them with a chair, then hitting a Cross-Rhodes on one of them. Heyman then calls Reigns and The Rock and Rhodes tells him to call them because The Bloodline isn’t hunting him because he is the one hunting them. Rhodes then tosses two of the officers out of the ring and stands tall as the show comes to a close.
