Angle heads to the ring to start the first show of 2018. He talks about the Royal Rumble and says Cena has declared his entry into the men's match. He says the men and women will have the same rules for their Rumble matches, including having 30 participants.
Angle is interrupted by The Bar.
Sheamus and Cesaro demand their rematch for the tag titles against Rollins and Jordan. Angle says they can have their rematch when he says so. This brings out Jason Jordan. He argues with them until Angle books Jordan to face Cesaro right now. Rollins comes out and tells Jordan he has a lot to learn, including not jumping into matches where he is outnumbered. He says Jordan needs to stop being self-absorbed, but also agrees to be in his corner.
Cesaro vs. Jason Jordon
Jason Jordan won
Bray Wyatt vs. Apollo Crews
Bray Wyatt won
Matt Hardy comes in the big screen and taunts Wyatt with his trademark creepy laugh
Alexa Bliss vs. Asuka

Joe gives Renee Young some grief when he calls Dean Ambrose a stay-at-home husband living off his wife's paycheck before declaring he will win the IC title tonight from Reigns.
Braun Strowman vs. Rhyno
Braun Strowman won
Slater gets on the apron and Strowman grabs a mic to tell him to get down or suffer the consequences. Slater keeps him distracted until Rhyno can attack. Slater runs in and they team up on the big man. Braun easily takes out both men and wins the match with a running powerslam.
Strowman continues his actions after the match is over and powerslams both men again. His music plays, but he still
grabs Slater for one more slam.
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Samoa Joe for the IC Title (if Reigns is Disqualified he will lose the tittle)
Roman Reigns won and still Intercontinental Champion!
Drew Gulak and Ariya Daivari are out after the break to announce Enzo Amore will not be defending his title tonight due to being sick with the flu. He reads Enzo's usual lines with proper grammar to make this even funnier. Cedric Alexander comes out to voice his opinion about not getting his match tonight. Gulak and Daivari agree to fight in a tag team match, and surprisingly, Goldust comes out to be Alexander's partner.
Cedric Alexander and Goldust vs. Gulak and Daivari
Cedric Alexander and Goldust won
Finn Balor and Gallows and Anderson vs. Miztourage and Elias Samson
Finn Balor and Gallows and Anderson won
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman head to the ring.
Heyman talks about how unfair it is for Lesnar to have to face both Kane and Strowman at The Royal Rumble and how it used to just be one on one in the old days. He says it won't matter because Brock will always prevail.
As Brock and Heyman try to leave the ring, Kane's music hits and he marches down the ramp. He grabs Brock by the throat and delivers a Chokeslam. Lesnar sits up like Kane and The Undertaker and he starts laughing. He clotheslines Kane over the top rope as the locker room empties. Everyone tries to keep them apart while Angle calls the shots from the stage.
The show ends with Lesnar holding his title up as Kane is pushed to the back.
