The show opens Trish Stratus in her home of Toronto. She grabs a microphone and struggles to talk for a moment. Trish thanks everyone before asking what year is this with her wrestling tomorrow, being announced by Lilian Garcia, and having The Rock around. Do you know what she loves about wrestling? The generational impact. She points out a teenage girl in the crowd and tells her that her dad likely had a poster of her when he was her age. Trish is honored to wrestle in front of her kids for the first time. And she is beyond excited to be teaming up with Tiffany Stratton.
She welcomes her tag team partner to the ring. They talk about how much time they have spent together lately, and how that will help them to beat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae. Chelsea Green interrupts them. She believes she is more deserving of the airtime. The minute she left this dump (Canada), everything got better for her. She is proud to represent America. Tiffany tells her she doesn’t represent her and wants a match right now. A referee appears, and that match is happening.

Drew McIntyre cuts off a John Cena vignette. After he put himself in the Elimination Chamber, he said anyone can say whatever, and nobody has so far. Drew sits on the announce table to talk about John Cena. He believes young Cena wouldn’t like some of his choices, including that massive bald spot on his head. McIntyre is the monster that guys like Cena created, and he will bury him. Damian Priest interrupts.
He tells Drew that all he ever does is whine and cry. R-Truth makes more sense than he does. Because of his weird obsession with CM Punk, he let his biggest moments of last year slip through his fingers. Seth Rollins shows up. He tells them how much confidence he has to where they don’t stand a chance. It is CM Punk’s time to interrupt. He warns each of them, and while two of them are obsessed, he is obsessed with going to the main event of WrestleMania. Now we have someone buying souls, and someone dared to ask him for the same. They are dealing with Hell In A Cell CM Punk tomorrow, and he wouldn’t blame them for not showing up, much like John Cena, on his retirement tour.
The insults fly until John Cena’s music plays! But wait… it’s Logan Paul. The fans don’t like that. Paul tells them that John Cena doesn’t care about them. Paul dishes out his own insults to everyone, including Toronto. After asking Punk how his jaw is, he runs away as Punk goes to show him up close.

KO appears on the titantron. He is stood in the ring at the venue for Elimination Chamber. Kevin says he is not the bad guy, but everything he gets tomorrow is deserved.
