#2 Nia Jax vs Mickie James

The first
The first match of the night saw Nia Jax take on Mickie James with Alexa Bliss at ringside

After Kurt Angle's huge announcement last week that Alexa Bliss would defend her Raw Women's Championship against Nia Jax at WrestleMania, The Irresistible Force would take on the Champion's acquaintance, six-time Women's Champion Mickie James.

Jax came out to a huge pop from the WWE Universe, and WWE replayed the video of Bliss and James speaking about Jax's appearance from two weeks ago before the match. Mickie James came out with Alexa Bliss, to the Women's Champion's music.

This match, as expected, was ALL Nia to start off with. The Irresistible Force started the match by throwing Mickie around like a ragdoll.

James managed to turn it around and get Jax to the outside, prompting an intense staredown with Bliss. James identified a weakness when Jax started to favour her knee and took advantage. This match actually had some great storytelling and James looked like pulling off an upset at one point.

James went to the top, though, and Jax caught her with a Samoan Drop for the win. After the referee counted three, Bliss came into the ring and tried to attack her foe - but it didn't even nudge Nia. Bliss made her escape and Nia made a beeline for Bliss.

This one really is hotting up!

Next up, we saw a package on Ronda Rousey and Stephanie McMahon's rivalry - with Triple H and Stephanie being interviewed in the Performance Center about their training regime ahead of facing off against Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey. Their trainer also spoke of their desire and commitment, and we saw clips of the pair training at the PC

Stephanie spoke about Rousey not having one match, saying she grew up in the ring and it is HER ring. Stephanie also said Rousey should be intimidated by her, not the other way around. The package then shifts to the history of Triple H and Kurt Angle and Triple H compares Angle and Rousey starting out in WWE.


Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali vs Drew Gulak and TJP

Ali
Ali and Alexander would team up on the road to WrestleMania

The next match saw 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick join the commentary team as the Cruiserweights took to the ring. The two men who reached the final of the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, Alexander and Ali, would team up against Gulak and TJP.

Alexander and Ali ran through their opponents, but showed some signs of tension ahead of their WrestleMania showdown. Alexander hit the Lumbar Check on TJP, but didn't realise Ali had tagged himself in. Ali hit the 0-5-4 and picked up a pinfall victory over TJP.
