However, the stipulations for that match will be decided by the result of a mega tag match the previous night. The American Nightmare and Seth Rollins will face The Great One and Reigns in this match to decide the conditions for the main event.

At WrestleMania 39, Roman Reigns successfully defended his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of Night Two. The closing stages of the match saw a Solo Sikoa interference, where he hit Rhodes with a Samoan Spike. This allowed Reigns to retain his title.
Ever since this devastating loss, The American Nightmare has been hoping to 'finish the story' and will have maybe one last chance, if The Great One has his way, to do so in a few weeks. The Tribal Chief, meanwhile, will be hoping to extend his historic title reign.
