– Backstage, Cathy is with Trish Stratus to get her opinion on Becky Lynch versus Rhea Ripley. Stratus says she once faced Becky Lynch in the Steel Cage. Becky is the best she’s ever faced. But she’s never faced Mami, so she can’t talk aside. It will be to see if The Man can defeat Mami. Cathy asks if we’re going to see her once more in WWE. Stratus says you never know.
– Backstage, Cathy asks Judgment Day for their comment that they have less chance of remaining champions following tonight. Damian Priest says they are angry regarding this stupid question. They are the best team on the planet. Nobody can beat them. It’s a joke 5 teams for WrestleMania. Finn Balor says they will remain the champions.
– Backstage, Cathy asks Natalya which match she can’t wait to see. Natalya says this is The Usos’ match since the Hart Dynasty has a long history with them. The match is like Owen versus Bret Hart for tonight.
– Backstage, Kayla asks Dominik Mysterio and Santos Escobar for their comments on Dragon Lee’s change. Dominik says the strategy remains the same no matter who his old father allies with.
