SmackDown

SmackDown opens with an tribute to WWE Hall of Famer "Bullet" Bob Armstrong. 

Adam Pearce is with the security team backstage, saying that tonight is a volatile concoction waiting to explode. Roman, Bray, and Strowman are here, Retribution is always looming, and Vince McMahon is here as well! 

McMahon gives Pearce a mission tonight. Have all three participants sign the contract for the WWE Universal Championship match for Payback. 

Jeff Hardy comes out.

Last week, Hardy was able to steal the Intercontinental Championship from AJ Styles when he accidentally landed a blow to Styles' face with his knee brace, allowing him to hit the Swanton Bomb. 

Styles says that Hardy faked the severity of the injury so he could get an "illegal object" in the match. What a monster. 

Styles is unable to compete tonight, as he's not medically cleared. Jeff says that's too bad, as he's issuing an open challenge to the IC Championship for anybody in the SmackDown locker room. Of course everyone but Styles.

RAW

Seth Rollins is set to host a retirement ceremony for Rey Mysterio to open RAW.

Seth Rollins says that he will enlighten Aleister Black because he seems to be confused. He went on to say that Rey Mysterio would be on the program, but he felt that Rey would not be able to bring himself to announce his own retirement, so Rollins was doing it for him.

Rollins says that Rey was chosen as a sacrifice for the greater good of Monday Night RAW

Rollins says that to admire the end of Mysterio's career he has prepared a video package and tells people to enjoy who Rey is. The montage shows Rey against his biggest opponents.

He said that if there's an infection, it could be the end of his career. He said that he did not know if it was up to him anymore, as he could be cleared to compete in a few weeks, or he could never be cleared again.

About Seth's Rey retirement ceremony, he says that he was not chosen, it was Seth who took the decision.

Dominick appears and says that someone from this family has to do something and he might be the one to take up that job.

Seth Rollins, damn you for everything you put my family through." Rey is not done with Rollins.

He says his family watched blood run down his face and watched him suffer.

Dominick addresses Seth Rollins, and says, "An eye for an eye."

SmackDown

SmackDown opens with Renee Young outside reporting on an accident.

Elias has apparently been hit by a car which apparently is Jeff Hardy’s rental.

Braun Strowman is an eye witness, and was in fact the one who called 911 for Elias. However, the Universal Champion does not know who ran him down.

They've found Jeff Hardy hurt several yards away. The paramedics claim that he smells like alcohol, like the bottles in the car. Jason Jordan and Jamie Noble attempt to help him into the building, but he's cuffed to be taken downtown.

Jeff Hardy has been taken to the police station for questioning and Elias is being transferred to a Local Medical Facility.

There's going to be a battle royal tonight to determine who will replace Elias and Jeff Hardy in the Intercontinental Championship tournament.

RAW

Tonight’s RAW is broadcasting from the Performance Center.

Edge comes out.

Edge had sent a message to Orton last week by completely decimating MVP. He says that it was a long time coming. 

Edge said that he had known from the moment that Randy's dad had introduced the two of them, everything was going to change. 

He went ahead and said that the two of them owned the same man credit for pushing them to their limit - Mick Foley. However, while Edge had taken the lesson of grit from Mick Foley, that was something that Randy Orton had not done. 

He said that Randy Orton was handed every part of this on a silver platter by his dad, while he was jealous that Edge was able to work for what he had and gotten it. 

Edge says that Randy did not let Beth finish what she was going to say. With the reality being that Edge was going to retire until Orton attacked his wife. Now he wanted to face Orton in a Last Man Standing Match at WrestleMania. 

We see an replay from the Mens Royal Rumble Match

Now, it's time for the contract signing between AJ Styles and The Undertaker. 

It appears that there was no contract present when The Undertaker made his way down to the ring and that was what infuriated him. 

AJ's music plays but he does not come out.

Instead, he's on the titantron and has the contract backstage.

AJ says that The Undertaker has stuck his nose in OC's business too many times and cost him two matches and two opportunities. 

AJ says after WrestleMania is over, he is going to pay The Undertaker's assisted living cost. 

AJ signs the contract and asks the OC to the Undertaker. After some arguing that's exactly what they do. 

The OC are out and they drop the contract at ringside and try to leave. A gong and everything goes dark, and Undertaker is behind them on the ramp. 

Undertaker rushes Gallows and Anderson. He takes them both down and out. 

Undertaker destroys both Gallows and Anderson and leaves them crumbled on the ground as he signs the contract and leaves. 

Andrade vs. Rey Mysterio 

Rey Mysterio won

Becky Lynch comes out.

Becky says she knows that Shayna is paying attention to her at the moment and that she knows that Baszler thinks she can bully her way to the top. Seeing Becky made her question the natural order of things.

Becky says she knows that Shayna does not know what to do with Becky Lynch, and she says she will prove that Shayna's whole life is a lie and that is going to hit her like truck that Becky drove in on.

Kevin Owens is backstage and says that he accepts Seth Rollins' challenge for a match. He says that he is going to face Seth Rollins at the Performance Center.

He says that Seth never spent time in the performance center unlike him. He is about to have the home field advantage.

Stone Cold is out now and he is celebrating the only way he knows how. He says he blew himself out in an entrance. He said that he was glad to be there on the television screen. 

Stone Cold asks the absent crowd to give him a hell yeah if they want to know what 3:16 day is all about.

Byron says Hell Yeah and rates Steve Austin an 8 for saying what 3:16 day is all about. He is working with Byron to deliver one of the funniest promos in some time.

Stone Cold says that Byron has been helpful and invites him down to the ring to celebrate 3:16 day with Stone Cold.

Stone Cold proposes a toast to Byron with a beer and calls him a jackass.

Byron drinks up only to be hit with a huge Stunner by Austin.

Becky is out now and she has a whole cooler of beer. She steps on Byron while entering the ring.

Becky and Steve share a double beer.

Byron is back up and Stone Cold pours some beer on him and delivers another Stunner on him.

Decent show given the circumstances.
