After the recap video, Bobby Roode's music hits and he makes his way to the ring for his tag match with Randy Orton against Jinder Mahal and Sunil Singh.
Mahal says Singh is too injured to compete after being attacked last week, so he introduces Rusev as his new partner.
Randy Orton and Bobby Roode vs. Jinder Mahal and Rusev
Jinder Mahal and Rusev won
Mahal is shown reveling in his win backstage and he offers Rusev front row tickets to his U.S. title match at WrestleMania. Rusev says he has other plans to find Daniel Bryan and request to be added to the match to make it a Fatal 4-Way. Then we see Nakamura asking Styles to be in his corner for his match tonight so they can ensure they get each other at their best at WrestleMania. AJ agrees, but only so he can prove he is better at WrestleMania.
Becky Lynch vs. Ruby Riott
Becky Lynch won
Daniel Bryan makes his way out looking a lot less enthusiastic than he was last week after the break. He can't help but smile at all the Yes chants, but he quickly goes back to a somber expression. After the fans chant his name for a little while, Bryan says he loves being in Pittsburgh.
Bryan says he has a job to do as the GM of SmackDown. He proposes to give Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens once more chance, but just one. He offers them the chance to face Shane McMahon and himself at WrestleMania. He believes Shane will be ready to go by WrestleMania. If KO and Zayn win, they will be reinstated to SmackDown, but they will remain fired if they lose.
Bryan says he thinks Zayn and Owens are two of the greatest performers of this generation and they came up through the indys together. He says he continues to give them opportunities because they went through the same journey, but also because it's his job to give people chances. Bryan says he has a lot of duties as the GM and he is sick of it. He fought for three years to return to the ring and Owens and Zayn tried to take that away from him. He says he is back and he will fight at WrestleMania.
Bryan says there are a lot of reasons he shouldn't say some of the things on his mind, but this is not that Daniel Bryan. He says this is the Daniel Bryan who is going to beat KO and Zayn ass at WrestleMania.
New Day vs. Bludgeon Brothers
The ref calls for the bell while New Day go after Harper and The Usos continue to assault Rowan. For some reason, The Usos and New Day get into an argument and have to go running when Harper and Rowan return with the mallets.
The announcers reveal Shane was discharged from the hospital earlier today.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyler Breeze
Dolph Ziggler won
After the match is over, Ziggler superkicks Fandango and looks at the Andre trophy at ringside.
Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Shelton Benjamin
Shinsuke Nakamura won
Nakamura thanks AJ but says he only invited him out here so he could see how he was going to win the WWE Title at WrestleMania. Styles vows to defeat him and prove he is the best. Shinsuke says AJ is too emotional to win at Mania and his music hits. Gable and Benjamin attack Styles, but Shinsuke comes in and cleans house. Then he sees Styles and lines up for the Kinshasa. He stops short and laughs in AJ's face just to prove he could have done it if he wanted to. He pats AJ on the head and leaves the ring to end the show.
Rating: 70/70
Great show and matches as we look on to WrestleMania and I can’t wait tell next week it’s going to be insane as we get even closer to WrestleMania.
