Eladio Carrion introduced Randy Orton. Orton thanked Carrion for putting him in his music video. Orton said I’m going to hit the RKO on Roman Reigns and become a 15-time champion. AJ Styles came out and said told Orton your forgetting about me. I asked Nick Aldis to let me have a match with Solo Sikoa and he gave that match to LA Knight. After you gave me an RKO last week, you have a receipt coming. LA Knight came out and said I didn’t want to fight Solo 24 hours before our match tomorrow. There are four of us in that match tomorrow and I’m the only one who has a match tonight. That tells me Paul Heyman lobbied and did everything he could to soften me up because I’m the biggest threat. Styles gave Orton a Pele kick to end the segment.
Carlito (w/Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, and Zelina Vega) vs Santos Escobar (w/Angel and Humberto)
With the referee distracted by Del Toro and Wilde fighting with Angel and Humberto outside the ring, Elektra Lopez attacked Zelina. That distracted Carlito enabling Escobar to roll him up and pin him.
===Winner: Santos Escobar
Backstage, Jimmy Uso told AJ Styles that everybody knows where LA is going to be tonight. Help us get rid of that fool. If we drop him tonight, we don’t need to worry about him tomorrow night at the Rumble which is good for you and us, and he walked away. Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, and Michim walked up to Styles. Anderson asked him what that was all about. Styles said don’t worry about it.
Backstage, Nick Aldis congratulated Ava for being the youngest General Manager in history. Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits entered. Lashley picked his number for the Rumble. Santos, Angel. Humberto, and Lopez entered. Lashley told Escobar we haven’t forgotten about you. Escobar pulled his number for the Royal Rumble.
In a pre-taped interview, Bayley went over the history of Damage CTRL. She said the Kabuki Warriors will win the tag team titles tonight and I will win the Royal Rumble tomorrow.

Kayden Carter & Katana Chance (Champions) vs The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane)
Asuka hit Chance with a sliding kick which sent her out of the ring. Sane gave Chance an Alabama Slam on the announce desk. Asuka rolled up Carter for a near fall. Asuka held Carter while Sane came off the top rope on her with an Insane Kick and pinned her.
===Winners and new champions: The Kabuki Warriors
Backstage, Paul Heyman told Solo to fix the problem and do not be merciful. Heyman told Jimmy Uso that Roman Reigns went from Big Dog to Tribal Chief because he saw a moment and he seized it. There is a World Champion on RAW with one leg. You need to seize this moment by winning the Royal Rumble, beat Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, and bring it to The Bloodline. Then you will understand that the line of succession to who is truly the tribal heir, all starts at the Royal Rumble.
Backstage, Bianca Belair and Bayley pulled their numbers for the Royal Rumble.
Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits were in the ring. Lashley told The Final Testament to come out and they did. Scarlett got in the ring while the rest of the Final Testament stayed outside the ring. Karrion Kross said we are not fighting tonight. Lashley said yes we are. The Street Profits went after the Final Testament as Scarlett jumped on Lashley’s back and raked his eyes. Kross jumped Lashley. The AOP beat up The Street Profits. The AOP and Kross beat up Lashley and then left the ring.

Austin Theory (w/Grayson Waller) vs Carmelo Hayes
Hayes knocked Waller off the ring apron. Theory grabbed Hayes from behind. Hayes escaped and rolled him up for a near fall, but Theory reversed the roll up, hooked the tights, and pinned him. After the match, Theory and Waller were beating up Hayes, but Trick Williams came down and beat up Theory and Hayes which sent them out of the ring. Hayes asked Williams what he is doing.
===Winner: Austin Theory
Backstage, Eladio Carrion predicted Randy Orton to win tomorrow’s match. Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy Uso came up to him and told him he’s wrong.
LA Knight vs Solo Sikoa (w/Paul Heyman & Jimmy Uso)
AJ Styles came off the barricade and attacked Knight and the referee called for the bell. Styles threw Knight into the ring steps. As Styles was clearing off the announce desk, Jimmy picked up a chair. Styles turned around and saw Jimmy who put down the chair and told Styles to do what you need to do. Solo told Styles to take care of Knight or I’m going to take care of you, so hit him now. Styles hit Solo with the chair. Orton came to the ring and gave Styles an uppercut which sent Styles out of the ring. Orton gave Jimmy a powerslam. Orton gave Solo a back suplex on the announce table. Orton gave Jimmy a DDT.
