“The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes then makes his way down to the ring as Michael Cole and Pat McAfee welcomes us to the show.

Cody Rhodes starts off by asking Chicago what they want to talk about and the crowd cheers. Rhodes then says they are at the point on the road to WrestleMania where the time for talk has past. Rhodes also says last week Roman Reigns had some choice words on the Pat McAfee show. Rhodes then puts McAfee and Cole over. Rhodes then says Reigns said that he is making promises he can’t keep. Rhodes then says that he never makes a promise he can’t keep. Rhodes also says he has kept all of the promises over the past few years, including bring the Wrestling Club to both nights of WrestleMania. Rhodes also says he does what he does and acts like the champion because the champion is not here. Rhodes then says he respects Reigns, but because Reigns screwed him out of his dream last year, he hates Reigns’ guts. Rhodes then says Reigns may hate him, but he doesn’t care. Rhodes then says he knows he got in the way of the wank fest Reigns wanted to have with his cousin at WrestleMania, but he won the Royal Rumble and that is his right.

Rhodes then asks the WWE Universe if they will ride with him and fight with him against Roman Reigns. Rhodes then says he is going to point at the WrestleMania sign and he wants everyone else to do it with him and the crowd goes wild. Rhodes then does the Bullet Club hand gesture at the WrestleMania sign and the crowd does the same. The Rock’s music then hits and the crowd explodes as The Great One makes his way down to the ring.

Rhodes and The Rock have a long stare-down. The crowd then breaks into a CM Punk chant. The Rock then puts his hands behind his back and steps up to Rhodes.

We then head to the back, where Jackie Redmond catches up to The Rock. Redmond asks The Rock what he said to Cody Rhodes in the ring. The Rock then tells Redmond to go ask Rhodes.

We then head over to The Judgment Day’s lounge and we see the group talk about McDonagh’s upcoming match against Ricochet. “Señor Money In The Bank” Damian Priest says he has a plan to turn the odds in their favor at WrestleMania and Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley makes it clear that she wants JD McDonagh to win tonight. “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio then assures Ripley that he will help McDonagh do so.

Chicago’s own CM Punk’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring.

CM Punk starts off by saying he has got a lot to say. Punk says everyone is asking if he will be at WrestleMania. Punk then says yes he will be, but his elbow isn’t 100% yet and he isn’t cleared, however his mouth still works. Punk then says someone suggested that maybe he referee a match at WrestleMania. Punk then asks the crowd is there a title match happening at WrestleMania that needs an impartial referee and the crowd reacts.

Punk also says Seth Rollins had a lot to say about him as well. Punk then says The Rock hasn’t oddly had anything to say about him and maybe that is because The Rock remembers his arms are too short to box with God. Punk then says then there is Drew McIntyre. Punk then says that when he has an issue with someone he rather handle it face-to-face.

Drew McIntyre’s music then hits and Punk yells at the production crew to cut that stupid song off and demands that McIntyre get his b*tch a** in the ring. McIntyre says he dreamed for this moment, where Punk is in the ring and he’s hurt. McIntyre then stands on the announce desk and rips his shirt off to reveal another shirt taking a shot at Punk. Punk then tells McIntyre he has never had to put another man’s name on a shirt to sell it. McIntyre then says the funny thing about Punk is he is supposed to be straight edge, but he spends all his time in rehab. Punk then demands McIntyre get in the ring and speak into his good ear. McIntyre then sits on the announce desk while Punk lays down in the ring, begging McIntyre to get in there. McIntyre then says he needs Punk as Punk is his muse and he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is the chosen one. Punk then laughs and asks McIntyre who chose him. McIntyre then laughs as Punk goes on to ask what that paragon of virtue’s name was and if he has the balls to say his name.

McIntyre then tells Punk he should be the guest commentator during his title match at WrestleMania as he wants Punk to be there when he finally has his moment and raise the world championship in front of live fans. Seth Rollins’s music hits and Rollins makes his way down to the ring to join Punk. Punk and Rollins then have a stare-down.

Rollins then gets in Punk’s face and welcomes the crowd to Monday Night Rollins. Rollins says you can’t make decisions about the World Heavyweight Championship Match when you aren’t in it. Rollins then says since they didn’t bother to ask him, he is going to ask the crowd what they think. The crowd then cheers for Punk to be the guest referee. Rollins then says Punk’s injured arm is his counting arm, but Punk drops down on the mat and counts with his healthy arm.

Punk then says he is pretty sure he wouldn’t be able to be objective in the ring with these two dipsh*ts. Rollins then says he loves the idea of Punk having to narrate his greatest moment. Rollins then says at this point that is probably the closes Punk is ever going to get to a world championship ever again. Punk then chuckles and says he is going to do something McIntyre’s stupid pyro and sword and Rollins’ bell bottoms and his wife couldn’t and that is that he will make Rollins and McIntyre interesting. Punk then walks away as his music plays. McIntyre then screams that Punk doesn’t get to have the last word. McIntyre then goes on a rant about Punk being obsessed with him.
