Street Profits…Solo with a Superkick to Dawkins…follows with the Samoan Spike for the win (11:36)…AFTER…Sikoa hangs a chair around Ford’s head in the corner but he’s cut off by Kevin Owens with a Superkick…KO with a Stunner for Jimmy before he rolls out & heads up the aisle.

*Brock Lesnar to the ring…MVP out next for the VIP Lounge, but stops in the aisle…MVP sells Brock on the match at Mania with Omos…they toast with Brock’s flask of “White Lightning” which MVP spits out…so MVP gets an F-5.

*Becky Lynch & Lita backstage with Cathy Kelley…they’re taking the tag title tonight.

(2)  Cody Rhodes def. Chad Gable…after dispatching Otis into the front row, Rhodes connects with the Cody-Cutter on Gable…follows with CrossRhodes for the win (10:42)…AFTER…Cody says it’s 33 days until Mania & he hasn’t been in the same ring with his opponent yet…but Roman Reigns will be on SmackDown this Friday…& so will Cody.

*Otis runs into Maxxine Dupri backstage…she wants to watch Otis in action, so he heads out to find Adam Pearce & make it happen.

(3)  Asuka def. Carmella…Asuka with the Shoulder-Stretch for the submission win (09:03)…AFTER…Asuka calls out & gets Bianca Belair to the ring…Carmella attacks Asuka from behind & knocks her into Bianca…another pointless segment.

*Damage CTRL approached backstage by Cathy Kelley…Bayley calls Dakota & Iyo the greatest champions in WWE…Austin Theory interrupts to say he is the greatest champion…he’s still sick of hearing about John Cena & can’t wait to “give him respect” next week.

(5)  Bobby Lashley def. Elias…Lashley with a Flatliner, Spear, & follows with the Hurt Lock for the submission win (01:32)…AFTER…Lashley is still pissed about Brock’s low blow…and now he’s got Bray Wyatt playing “kid games” with him…warns Wyatt to keep his name out of his mouth or he will hurt Wyatt…the Muscle Man Dance begins to play on the ‘tron (with Lashley edited into it)…it ends with Bray Wyatt telling Lashley to RUN!
