Miz TV with Becky Lynch, Lita and Trish Stratus ##
The show started off with Miz TV with Becky Lynch, Lita and Trish Stratus. ##
During Miz TV, Trish Stratus and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Becky Lynch and Lita, made their entrance and received a tremendous reaction from the crowd. Miz then questioned Lynch about why she needed backup from her partners against Damage CTRL, given that she always claimed to be "The Man" who could handle things alone. ##
Lynch quickly retorted that she was indeed The Man, while Miz was just a regular man - an insecure one with a fragile ego. Miz, attempting to defend himself, boasted about his masculinity, stating that Maryse could vouch for his manhood. Lynch sarcastically remarked that it must be reassuring to know that Maryse didn't have much experience with men before meeting him. ##
Miz then questioned the motives of Lita and Stratus, wondering why they had returned to the ring just to play backup to Lynch. Lita, with a sharp comeback, reminded him that she was one-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions. ##
Suddenly, Damage CTRL interrupted, led by Bayley, who was furious that their upcoming WrestleMania match against Lynch, Lita, and Stratus was being treated as just another match. To them, this match meant everything. Bayley attempted to belittle Lita and Stratus, stating that they were only relevant twenty years ago. Stratus, however, reminded her that Lita was now a current tag team champion, and this matchup would have been a dream for Bayley two decades ago. Now, her goal was simply to end them. ##
Lynch then interrupted Bayley's tirade, confronting her about how she had wasted the talents of NXT stars Dakota Kai and IYO SKY, who were now doing nothing because of her. Lynch expressed her frustration that their feud had gone on for far too long since SummerSlam, and that it was finally time to end it at WrestleMania. ##

Brock Lesnar and Omos weigh-in ##
Omos and MVP made their entrance first, with MVP hyping up Brock Lesnar's past WrestleMania wins over wrestling legends like Kurt Angle, Goldberg, Roman Reigns, and even breaking the Undertaker's undefeated streak. However, unlike those men, Lesnar cannot F5 or suplex Omos and will not be able to defeat him at WrestleMania. Omos stepped onto the scale and tipped it at an impressive 410 lbs. ##
Lesnar made his entrance with a serious demeanor and immediately went after Omos. Despite Lesnar's efforts, he couldn't knock down Omos, who merely stumbled back into the turnbuckle. Lesnar attempted to grab the scale to use it as a weapon, but Omos kicked him out of the ring and took possession of the scale. ##
The crowd began to chant "Suplex City," but Lesnar remained outside the ring, displaying self-doubt once again. ##

Moments later, Montez Ford followed suit by executing a mid-air change of direction, leaping off the top rope, soaring over the towering Strowman, and landing squarely on Erik for the decisive three-count. This epic victory granted massive momentum to Braun Strowman, Ricochet, and The Street Profits, as they charge towards The Showcase of the Immortals. ##

Soon after, Rhodes missed a moonsault on Solo, but quickly bounced back with a second Cody Cutter of the night. ##
Suddenly, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos, made their way to ringside and attempted to disrupt the action. However, their efforts were thwarted when Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens rushed in to even the odds and engage in a battle with their WrestleMania opponents all the way to the back. Moments later, Rhodes managed to dodge the dreaded Samoan Spike and delivered the Cross Rhodes to Solo for an incredible victory. ##
Cody not only successfully navigated a significant challenge on his path to The Showcase of the Immortals, but he also amassed substantial momentum as he prepares for the biggest match of his career against the reigning Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania. ##
