Roman Reigns music hits, as the WWE universe goes wild. Before he can say anything, CM Punk's music hits and the WWE universe explodes again. Both men stare each other intently in the eyes, as Roman looks pissed that CM Punk interrupted him.
Roman Reigns: “I was going to take my time choosing my opponent for WrestleMania, and after weeks of you interrupting me and doing absolutely nothing, and after watching that loser Jake Silva on Warriors, I don't think I care who I choose for WrestleMania, because neither one of you is worthy to face me."
CM Punk: “You still don't get it, do you?" You don't need to worry about Warriors. You don't need to be worrying about Jake Silva or Cody Rhodes, because at WrestleMania, it needs to be.... no, it has to be you and me. You need me."
Roman smirks as he steps closer to Punk.
Roman Reigns: “You think this is about history?”
CM Punk: “It is, and I’m the part of your story you never finished. The part you could never get rid of. The part you could never really beat.”
Roman smiles.
Roman Reigns: “Then maybe I end it.”
CM Punk starts smiling, thinking Roman has finally chosen him for WrestleMania. Roman pauses before adding...
Roman Reigns: “But then again.... maybe I won't."
Roman shrugs as he shoves the microphone into CM Punk's chest and walks away, as the WWE universe boos. Punk looks pissed.
Backstage, William is reviewing paperwork in his office. Diamond White walks in with the Women’s United States Championship. Diamond White says, “Everyone keeps talking about contenders, but nobody is talking about me.” William looks up. William says, "That’s because nobody’s tested you yet.” Diamond smirks, adding, “Then test me.” William nods, saying, "Tonight, there will be a fatal four-way match to determine your next challenger. He pauses, adding, "Your good friend, B Fab, will take on Maxxine Dupri, Nikki Cross, and Zelina Vega to determine your next challenger." Diamond smiles as she walks away, looking determined. Cameras linger for a moment. William looks surprised about something, as cameras go to ring side with commentators.
Jackie Redman says tonight's show is already shaping up to be explosive, as she recaps the winners of the women's Elimination Chamber qualifying matches so far: Lauren Young, Rhea Ripley, Tiffany Stratton, and Melissa Lucas. Jackie says the commentary team of Corey Graves, Michael Cole, and Byron Saxton is all running late, as are some Explosion stars due to the extreme weather, and will be here shortly. She says in the meantime, the final Explosion Women's Qualifying match is next as Jordynne Grace takes on Candice LeRae and Raquel Rodriguez.
COMMERCIAL BREAK.
Backstage, Johnny Gargano joins Candice LeRae. Johnny says that, "Jessica said we aren’t main event material…” He laughs. Candice adds, “That’s fine. Because we’re not here to BE the main event…” She points around, adding, "…we’re here to TAKE it.”
Also backstage, R-Truth is talking to Miz again.
R-Truth: “I told Black Jesus you were acting up—”
Miz: “SHUT UP!”
Miz SLAPS Truth again for the second week in a row. Truth smiles slowly.
R-Truth:“…you really don’t learn.”

After the match, commentators reveal with the recap that Dexter Lumis' hand was on the bottom rope.
Uncle Howdy comes out, helping Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis up. He then grabs a microphone, saying, “Everyone just witnessed Dexter Lumis' hand on the bottom rope. The injustice stops here. Everybody keeps asking about Paul Heyman, as if he belongs to us. He doesn't. Paul Heyman is his own man. He does what he wants. Nobody controls Heyman. Heyman is learning. But what he doesn't understand is that he doesn't control the world. He doesn't have the whole world in his hands. All Paul Heyman has known is chaos. Now he will learn surrender.” Uncle Howdy pauses momentarily, tilting his head, adding, "We are coming to take over Explosion. We will take all the championships. We will torture everyone until we control everything on Explosion. We want gold. We want control because under our control, there is peace." Howdy motions for Nikki Cross, as he lays his hands on her shoulders, saying, "Now, my child, you will win and start our crusade of dominance."
Commentators who are now at the commentators' desk officially welcome everyone to the show. Michael Cole says, "We picked a great time to show up, I see." Corey Graves and Byron Saxton don't say anything, as they are shaken by Uncle Howdy. Corey Graves finally says that Cole has to be joking, adding, they couldn't have picked a more bizarre time to get here.

Axiom: “We’ve done more than you ever will!”
Alex Shelley: “Both of you talk too much.”
All three teams start shoving each other, which turns into an all-out brawl. Officials rush in as bodies start flying. Suddenly, Alex Shelley grabs Axiom and throws Axiom through a nearby table. The table shatters as the crowd pops from the arena reaction. William storms in, looking around in disbelief. William screams at the officials to break things up immediately, adding that since these teams want to destroy each other, they can do it next week in a triple threat tornado tag team tables match. The WWE universe goes wild as officials separate and drag the three teams away from each other.
Commentators are hyped about that match next week.

He brags about beating Dragon Lee, Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Torro, and Rey Fenix. Aleister says that not only did he single-handedly destroy the LWO, but he also took out their leader, Rey Mysterio, who will be on the shelf for a very long time, as the WWE universe boos loudly. Aleister stands up, walking towards the camera, asking if anybody wants a title shot, warning them that whoever steps up is bound to fade to black.

Nikki says that Giulia and Kiana James showed their true colors, pointing towards the top of the ramp, saying that they made their choice, and they made a mistake messing with the Bella army. Giulia and Kiana James interrupt as they walk slowly towards the ring. Giulia says, "We didn't betray you. We outgrew you." Kiana James adds that Nikki Bella was dead weight and she needed to be dealt with. Brie smirks, saying that Nikki knows who she can trust, and that's family. Brie says that family is everything, and she came back to remind Nikki Bella who she is, and remind the world why she's a first class hall-of-famer. Giulia and Kiana look at each other. Kiana nods as they attack the Bella twins. The Bella Twins fight back, as they go back and forth, until referees break things up. All four ladies are visibly pissed.
Commentators try to bring focus back to the show as they go backstage to where Jade Cargill is preparing for her match. Jackie asks Jade what her thoughts are on Brooklyn von Braun and her interactions as of late. Jade says that Brooklyn can't hold a candle to her, and the only way she'll get her grubby little hands on her title is if she steals it. Jade smirks as she walks away.

Commentators wonder who attacked Camelo and how long it will take for him to pinpoint who took him out at the Royal Rumble.
William makes his way to the ring as the WWE universe goes wild. Michael Cole says that he has a strong feeling that William will address Jessica's comments from Warriors this past Monday.
In the ring, William says, “You say you’ve always looked down on me, that's funny because the only way you could ever look down on me is if I was the one carrying you.” The crowd says, "Ohhhh". William continues, “You call me dirt on the bottom of your shoe?” He looks down at his boots. “Nah…, as he looks back up. “I’m the reason you even HAVE a shoe.” The WWE universe explodes in shock. William continues, “You say you’ve never played second fiddle?” “You didn’t have to.” He leans into the camera. “Because you were never in the orchestra to begin with.” The audience gets ever louder in shock. William says, “You’ve always been loud… dramatic… desperate for attention…, as he shrugs. “But being the loudest person in the room doesn’t make you the most important,” William continues, “And Sunshine?” “Yeah… let’s talk about that. “You say she figured out who I was?” He stops. “Maybe she did… But guess what, while you and Nicholas are trying to work it out for the tenth time, Sunshine and I are figuring out where we're going on vacation next." The crowd gasps again. William adds, "While you’re out here playing general manager, pretending to be some kind of star, and doing what you do best, playing the victim…” He steps closer to the camera. “Everybody around you eventually figures out the same thing, you don’t build anything… You just stand in front of it and take credit.” The crowd erupts. “You said I’m a joke?” He nods. “Then why is everybody watching MY show?” William finishes, “You don’t look down on me, Jessica…”
He leans forward slightly. “You’ve been chasing me your whole career…, and you’re still not close.” He drops the mic. The crowd buzz is heavy.
Michael Cole says that things are no longer fun and games between the two. Corey Graves is seen smiling hard.
Michael Cole: “Good lord… this has gone WAY beyond professional.”
Byron Saxton: “This is personal now. This is VERY personal.”

Uncle Howdy kneels beside him, saying, “Now you’re learning.” Heyman looks up — and starts laughing mischievously, saying, "Welcome to Kick Ass City". Howdy tilts his head in confusion.
