Sunil Singh introduced the Modern-Day Maharaja Jinder Mahal by singing out of tune and singing about being a better vocalist than Aiden English and Mahal being better than Rusev.

Before Jinder Mahal made it to to the ring, Aiden English interrupted and told Sunil he was mistaken, rhythmically dissing the pair and introducing Rusev in a way that only he can.

Rusev made his way to the ring to an eruption of Rusev Day chants and we saw Randy Orton watching backstage as the pair locked up. Rusev went for an early Accolade but Mahal escaped.

This was, as expected, an incredibly physical match. Roode spoke of his excitement for WrestleMania on commentary and said all three of his opponents are some of the best SmackDown has to offer, but that he'll defeat any of them to become champion at WrestleMania.

Rusev Day chants swept the arena as Jinder Mahal dominated with some hefty strikes and locks. Rusev then fought back and the pair exchanged strikes before Rusev landed kick after kick on the former WWE Champion. The Bulgarian got a near fall before going for the Accolade once again, only for Mahal to make it to the ropes.

Mahal threw Rusev out the ring and caught him with a big boot on the way back in, only to get a near fall of his own. Rusev landed another huge kick, flooring Mahal to an incredible ovation. Rusev powered up but Singh distracted him and Mahal rolled him up, only for two, though, and Machka Kick put away Mahal. Rusev picks up the win!

While celebrating in the ring, however, Rusev was floored by an RKO from Outta Nowhere. English got on the top rope, but Roode pushed him off and right into an RKO.

Roode stepped into the ring, picked up Orton's United States Championship and handed it over to him reluctantly. The pair stared at the WrestleMania signs to "Rusev Day" chants.


We then cut to Shinsuke Nakamura being interviewed backstage, he said AJ Styles is right, he is playing games - but he takes this game very seriously. He said he fought his whole life to come to America for one reason - WrestleMania.

Nakamura said he doesn't take AJ Styles lightly, but he knows Styles is emotional. Nakamura vows to become the WWE Champion with a knee to the face.


We then cut to New Day backstage yelling "FREE!" and proclaiming that WrestleMania is free to new WWE Network subscribers. They say it can be watched on any device before pulling a tablet out of Big E's trousers and a laptop out of Kofi's trousers.

Before they can "pull an Xbox" out of Xavier's trousers, The Usos interrupt and the pair have an exchange before we see the Bludgeon Brothers stand with their hoods up, they then destroy one of the devices.
