Cody Rhodes was getting ready to talk about the Royal Rumble when Drew McIntyre came out. McIntyre told Rhodes that we both have had similar career paths and I’m proud of you. We were tag team champions. We didn’t go far because we didn’t embrace that opportunity. We left WWE to finally get our heads screwed on right and to see things straight. We laid the blue print on how to do it outside WWE. The last match I had before I returned to WWE was with you. You said I was going to be a future World Champion, and I’ve done it twice. If you put your head down and keep doing what you’re doing and you’re going to be the first member of your family to raise that championship. You will complete your story, but not before I finish mine. Cody said you could win the Royal Rumble, but Jey Uso or CM Punk could win. You can’t count anybody out. Drew told Cody to wipe the smile off his face. I can say that because I did it too when I had to be the leader for the roster. Be the real Cody. If anybody has an issue with the real Cody, they can step up to you and you can drop them on their ass. Cody said this is not an act. I smile because I love what I do. I cherish my second chance and you are complaining about yours. Drew said if this is the real Cody, why did you bring Jey Uso to RAW knowing the trouble it would cause. Is it to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. You endorsed CM Punk. You were there back in the day and you know what he’s like. You were there recently with CM Punk and you know exactly what he’s like. Is that to make you happy or is that to make everybody else happy? I don’t like that you’re a kiss ass at times, but I do like you. If Damian Priest wasn’t an idiot and cashed in that briefcase when he did, I would be World Champion and we wouldn’t be talking, but here we are. So, you’re standing in my way. Like Punk found out last week, if you stand in my way, you’ll get eaten because I’m operating at a different level right now. When I’m feeling like this, when I’m operating at 100%, I’m not what’s best for business. I am the business, and at WrestleMania, the story belongs to WrestleMania. Cody said you’re living with grievances and you want that for me, and that’s not me. You mention this last match we had. Let me ask you. Who won?
Backstage, Damian Priest told R-Truth that he can’t be selling merchandise in the parking lot. It’s embarrassing and the crew is not happy. Truth handed Priest a wad of money and said that’s your cut. Every member of Judgment Day will get their cut. Priest told Truth to sell the merch, but keep it quiet because the rest of the crew is really unhappy with you. Priest told Truth to not tag in his match.
Judgment Day (Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh) vs DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa)
Dominik went for the 619, but Gargano caught his leg. Ciampa ran at Dominik with a running knee which sent Dominik out of the ring. JD rolled up Ciampa for a near fall. Ciampa hit JD with a DDT and tagged in Gargano. Gargano and Ciampa both hit JD with running knees and pinned him.
===Winners: DIY
Earlier today, Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae were talking to Adam Pearce. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven interrupted them. Green said they want a rematch. Pearce told them you got your rematch and lost, but you can take on Indi and Candice tonight.

Hartwell gave Green a spinebuster. Niven slammed Hartwell, but missed a splash. LeRae gave a Lionsault on Green and pinned her.
===Winners: Indi Hartwell & Chelsea Green
The Judgment Day were backstage. Rhea Ripley said I have to go address my division and Damian Priest came in. Priest said I guess I’m the only one who has a problem with Drew McIntyre running his mouth, so I went to talk to Adam Pearce. JD asked him why are we not beating up R-Truth today? Priest told JD to focus less on R-Truth and focus more on what happened tonight so it doesn’t happen again. Finn Balor asked Priest if he was defending R-Truth. JD asked Priest what Truth brings to the crew. Priest showed him the money from his cut and told them if I were you I would find him and get mine. JD asked if he gets a cut. Priest said your name isn’t on the shirt, so probably not.
In the ring, Gunther told Ludwig Kaiser that he did a great job taking out Kofi Kingston last week. Xavier Woods came out and challenged Kaiser to a match tonight. Kaiser accepted the match and said I will also take your head.
Ludwig Kaiser vs Xavier Woods
Kaiser and Woods fought outside the ring. Woods threw the ring steps at Kaiser, but Kaiser ducked. Woods tried to chase after Kaiser, but Kaiser ran threw the crowd and the match ended.
In a pre-taped interview, Bronson Reed said there’s a man who holds a championship in WWE that doesn’t realize that it will soon belong to me.
Backstage, Kaiser jumped Woods and Jey Uso broke it up.
Ivar (w/ Valhalla) vs Akira Tozawa (w/ Maxxine Dupri)
Ivar gave Tozawa a spinning slam and a cross body. Ivar went to the top turnbuckle. Maxxine distracted Ivar which allowed Tozawa to kick Ivar and give him a powerbomb off from the turnbuckle and pin him. After the match, Valhalla attacked Maxxine. Ivar gave Tozawa a spin kick and a moonsault off the top rope.
===Winner: Akira Tozawa
CM Punk on his Instagram post told Cody Rhodes I think it’s time you asked me what I want to talk about.
Backstage, Ivy Nile told Alpha Academy that Valhalla is going to pay for this. Chad Gable told Tozawa that he’s proud of him and on his way to graduating from the Academy. Next week, I’m going to teach him the difference between being an idiot and an Alpha.
In the ring, Rhea Ripley said I’m tired of people like Nia Jax running her mouth and saying this is their division. This is my division and this is why this is my championship. Becky Lynch came out. Lynch said there’s this voice in my head thinking you might be better than me, but I need to prove that your not. To do that, I need to take that title from you. To do that, I need to win the Royal Rumble. Ripley said there’s only one other person that wants you to win the Royal Rumble match more than yourself and that’s me. I’ll see you at WrestleMania.
Backstage, Seth Rollins said this isn’t the same Jinder Mahal I beat to become the first NXT Champion. This Jinder Mahal is a former WWE Champion. This is the best version of Jinder Mahal who deserves a title shot.
(Judgment Day) Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio (w/ Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh) vs The Miz & R-Truth
Truth gave Dominik and Balor their cut from the merchandise. JD asked where his cut was and Truth told him you have to be a member. Truth went to hit Priest but stopped. Balor rolled up Truth from behind for a near fall. Truth caught Balor with a hell kick. Priest gave Truth the Souse of Heaven and Balor pinned him.
===Winners: Damian Priest & Finn Balor
Backstage, Jinder Mahal said he is focused and will defeat Seth Rollins tonight.
In a pre-taped interview, Shinsuke Nakamura said last week I could not cause the damage I desired. Cody better keep his eyes open because our story doesn’t end until I say so. Now I focus on the Royal Rumble.
Tegan Nox & Natalya vs Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark
Natalya had Baszler set up for the Heart Attack, but Stark tripped Nox’s leg and dragged her out of the ring. Stark gave Nox a superkick. Natalya punched Stark off the ring apron. Baszler submitted Natalya with the Kirifuda Clutch
===Winners: Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark
World Heavyweight Championship Match
Seth Rollins (Champion) vs Jinder Mahal (w/ Sanga & Veer)
Damian Priest came down with his Money in the Bank briefcase and sat ringside. Drew McIntyre came down towards the end of the match to confront Priest and Priest hit him. McIntyre and Priest brawled outside the ring. Mahal picked up Rollins and dropped him on his knees and rolled him up for a two-count. Sanga got on the ring apron to distract the referee and Veer threw a chair into the ring. While the referee was taking the chair out of the way, Sanga hit Rollins with the Money in the Bank briefcase. Mahal hit Rollins with a cobra clutch slam for a near fall.
