City: Los Angeles, CA
The Usos open the show tonight. Before they were even able to say WrestleMania, Sami Zayn’s music hits. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are out on the stage and Sami says this will all come to an end tomorrow and we don’t want to leave anything unsaid. Kevin says when he first came to WWE it was the Usos who made him feel welcome. Kevin said he respected them but at the Royal Rumble they tried to take away what he does for a living and if it wasn’t for Sami he wouldn’t be here, but he is, and tomorrow night they are taking those tag team titles.
Jimmy starts talking about family and Jey is his blood and Kevin and Sami wish they had what they have. Sami interrupts and says blood is not the only thing that makes you family, loyalty makes you family. Jey says what do you know about loyalty and Sami says he was always loyal to them but Roman was never loyal to them and they chose blood over loyalty and tomorrow night this all comes to an end.
Jey says no, after you lose tomorrow, Kevin is going to turn on you. And all you will hear is still your Undisputed Tag Team Champions the Usos.
As the Usos walked to the back, The Street Profits came out for the first match, a short stare down with the champs occurred.

A recap of Dominik Mysterio taunting Rey and what led to Rey finally hitting him last week and accepting the match at WrestleMania.
Rey is then shown in the back in his tuxedo and Legado del Fantasma comes in and Rey thanks them for helping him last week. Escobar tells Rey if Judgement Day gets involved they will have his back and Rey says if you do, we do it in style and hands them all shirts and kept one for himself and Rey says that is right we are officially the new L.W.O. (Latino World Order).

Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns face to face for the final time before their match Sunday for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. Cody says he is the most ready he has ever been but he also feels unprepared. Cody says something feels broken inside and the only thing that can fix it will be beating Roman Reigns. As Cody begins to say this Sunday at WrestleMania he finishes his story, Roman finally comes out.
Roman says Los Angeles…then says Wiseman I don’t care about any of them (the fans). And turns to Cody and says Cody Rhodes…acknowledge me!!! They stare at each other as Roman drops the microphone and the show ends.
Enjoy your WrestleMania weekend everyone!!!!
