When we go live to the arena, we see the cage hanging ominously above the ring.
Shane McMahon's music hits and he comes out.
Shane greets the Memphis crowd before talking about the upcoming Royal Rumble. He runs through some of the big names already announced for the match. Ambrose's name gets a surprisingly big pop.
He also talks about how the WWE champion will defend the title inside the Elimination Chamber before WrestleMania. This brings out AJ Styles to protest the decision.
Shane says he wants the best of the best to fight for the title at the Chamber. He says AJ is one of the best and what he has accomplished is phenomenal, except his attitude.
AJ threatens to take the WWE title to Japan and never come back. He says it's unfair to have to defend the title inside the chamber. John Cena comes out next to tell AJ why he's a coward.
Duelling chants break out for AJ and Cena before Cena tries to talk. AJ cuts him off and tells him to shut up and keeps complaining about the chamber match.
He wants to know why all of SmackDown is against AJ and who else is going to try to steal his spotlight. This brings out The Miz to steal his spotlight.
Miz says he will not only regain his IC title, but he will win the WWE Championship and headline WrestleMania as a double champion.
Styles criticizes Miz for hiding behind his wife, so Miz unleashes a few insults of his own.
Cena hilariously antagonises both men during their exchange.
Shane books Miz vs. Styles for after the break
The Miz vs. AJ Styles w/John Cena on commentary
AJ Styles picks up Miz and throws him at Cena.
Cena blocks it and chases Styles into the ring as the ref calls for the bell.
DQ Decision
Miz goes after Cena, but gets hit with an AA. Styles tries to hit him with the Phenomenal Forearm, but he too gets taken out with an AA.
Nikki Bella heads to the ring. She grabs a mic and talks about how she wants to fight Natalya right now.
Nattie is in the crowd with a mic. She says she wants Nikki to see something and then takes off. A video plays on the tron showing Natalya heading out to one of the merch stands and destroying some Nikki Bella stuff.
She wants to know why Bret has a shirt up there and she doesn't. She says Bret and Nikki will both die alone and then grabs all of Nikki's shirts so she can throw them away.
Nikki finds her and tackles her into a table. They fight until some security members come to break them up. Nikki knocks one of them out before going after Natalya again.
They fight for a long time before they are finally separated.
Dean Ambrose vs. Randy Orton
Dean Ambrose won
Lawler is introduced to a nice reception for The King's Court. He is even wearing his classic cape, crown and ring gear.
He wastes no time bringing Dolph Ziggler to the ring to discuss his recent shift in attitude. Ziggler walks to the ring.
King welcomes him, but Ziggler says nothing. King says he has known Ziggler for a long time and always thought he was a good person, but his recent actions have changed his mind.
Ziggler still says nothing. No matter what Lawler says or asks, Ziggler remains silent.
Ziggler goes to leave the ring, but King talks him into coming back. Ziggler finally speaks and says he knew King would try to make him look bad.
Dolph decides to show some footage of his own, and it's the video of Ziggler hitting him with an elbow drop on 2012 shortly before he suffered a heart attack.
Ziggler says he is willing to finish what he started. King tells him he will always be a loser no matter how many times he changes his attitude.
Ziggler looks like he is about to leave when he superkicks King right in the chest. As Ziggler walks away, King yells at him to come back to the ring if he has any guts.
Alexis Bliss (C) vs. Becky Lynch in a Steel Cage Match for the Women Championship
Alexis Bliss won thanks to La Luchadora who was later found to be Mickie James
La Luchadora celebrates with Bliss after the match. They start stomping away at Becky to add insult to injury, or in this case it might be injury to insult.
She rips the mask off La Luchadora and it's Mickie James. They take out Becky and James raises Bliss' hand in victory.
Rating:
95/95
Incredible show and matches as we look to Royal Rumble and the main event was insane.
