But Rhodes had other things on his mind. He revealed a recent social media storm stirred up by The Rock, who seemingly changed the narrative surrounding the highly anticipated title bout.## Rhodes recalled a private conversation with The Rock, where the legend initially discouraged him from challenging Reigns. However, as fan sentiment shifted, so did The Rock's stance, leading to a series of online videos and a contentious segment on SmackDown.## The Rock's unexpected challenge wasn't just for Rhodes. With a dramatic entrance, Seth "Freakin" Rollins joined the ring, ready to address this new wrinkle.## Rhodes acknowledged Rollins' offer to be his backup against The Bloodline, a gesture of solidarity. He emphasized his hard-earned right to challenge Reigns and his focus on winning the Undisputed title. However, he understood that Rollins, recently cleared to compete, had his own championship match against Drew McIntyre to contend with.## Rollins, ever the passionate competitor, declared his intention to handle both McIntyre and The Rock's challenge. He emphasized the bigger picture: dismantling The Bloodline and preventing Roman Reigns' stranglehold on power.## Heaping criticism on The Rock, Rollins quipped with a new nickname: "Diarrhea Dwayne." He challenged The Rock to prove his earlier threats and questioned his recent dedication to the industry. "The People's Champion" of old, Rollins argued, had become a distant memory.## Vowing to confront The Rock on SmackDown, Rollins offered unwavering support to Rhodes, asking if the feeling was mutual.## Rhodes, fueled by the exchange, delivered a concise message for The Rock. He reminded him of his humble beginnings, hinting that he wouldn't engage in The Rock's self-indulgent tactics. However, he vowed to stand alongside Rollins on SmackDown, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. ## Dominik Mysterio (w/ JD McDonagh) vs. GUNTHER ## The match commences with Dominik launching a surprise kick to GUNTHER's gut. Unfazed, GUNTHER effortlessly throws Dominik across the ring. A brief exchange ensues, with Dominik shoving GUNTHER and landing a chopping blow. The fight spills outside the ring, and McDonagh jumps in to intervene. However, GUNTHER overpowers McDonagh, shoving him back-first into the ring post. As GUNTHER attempts a chop, his hand meets the unforgiving steel of the post instead. ## Dominik doubles down, slamming the post with the body of GUNTHER twice before they both re-enter the ring. Back from the break, GUNTHER unleashes a relentless barrage of chops on Dominik, leaving him reeling. He then applies a punishing Boston Crab, but McDonagh disrupts the hold by leaping onto the ring apron. Forced to break the hold, GUNTHER becomes vulnerable as Dominik capitalizes with a dropkick, sending him flying outside the ring. Dominik follows up with a daring crossbody over the ropes, followed by a chop on GUNTHER. ## The bigger man retaliates with a chop of his own before tossing Dominik back into the ring. Dominik regains momentum, sending GUNTHER crashing into the ropes. He attempts his signature 619 maneuver, but GUNTHER anticipates it and levels him with a clothesline, nearly securing the pin. Undeterred, Dominik transitions into a second Boston Crab, but this time, he's unable to maintain control as GUNTHER powers out. GUNTHER attempts a powerbomb, but Dominik counters with a quick roll-up. However, GUNTHER kicks out and sends Dominik reeling once again. With renewed momentum, Dominik executes his signature 619, soars through the air, and prepares for the finishing blow. However, GUNTHER displays remarkable agility, dodging the attack and connecting with a powerful dropkick. He then manhandles Dominik with a devastating powerbomb and transitions seamlessly into a Boston Crab. Unable to withstand the pressure, Dominik is forced to tap out, handing the victory to GUNTHER. ## WINNER: Gunther ## The scene shifts backstage, where we find the members of Damage CTRL casually strolling around. Adam Pearce, an official, intercepts them, inquiring about their presence. Dakota Kai, one of the members, clarifies that as the reigning Women's Tag Team Champions, Asuka and Kairi Sane (the other two members) are free to appear on either Raw or SmackDown. Pearce, seemingly curious about their repeated visits to Raw, presses for their specific reason for being there this time. Kai explains their presence as mere spectators, interested in observing the upcoming match between Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark.## Meanwhile, Shinsuke Nakamura approaches Pearce, eager to discuss the Intercontinental Championship situation. Damage CTRL, aiming to reassure Pearce, interjects, claiming Nakamura poses no threat. Pearce, seemingly unfazed, informs Nakamura that an announcement regarding GUNTHER's WrestleMania opponent for the Intercontinental Championship will be made later that night.## After a brief commercial break, the focus returns to the ring as Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark make their grand entrance. Their opponents, Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, follow suit.

Stark then enters the fray, only to be met with a swift kick to the chest and another to the face from a determined Carter.

Stark then positions Carter precariously on the top turnbuckle, creating an opening for Baszler to launch a running knee strike, sending Carter crashing ringside.## After the commercial break, Stark lands another impactful superkick on Chance.

As Chance attempts to secure the pinfall victory, Baszler intervenes, breaking the crucial count. In a desperate attempt to save her partner, Chance rushes to Carter's aid.

Dakota Kai, one of the members, extended their congratulations to both Baszler and Stark for their impressive performance. She then extended a formal challenge on behalf of Damage CTRL, offering Baszler and Stark an opportunity to compete for the Women's Tag Team Championship held by Asuka and Kairi Sane. However, there was a catch: they would only receive this shot if Damage CTRL successfully retained their titles on the upcoming episode of "NXT." Baszler, clearly eager for the opportunity, snatched the microphone from Kai and expressed her unwavering acceptance of the challenge.## After a brief commercial break, the focus shifted to the ring, where Becky Lynch made her grand entrance, followed by her opponent, Nia Jax. ## Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax ## The opening bell clangs, and Lynch wastes no time, aggressively launching Jax into the corner.

Jax, desperate to escape the excruciating hold, resorts to unconventional tactics, maneuvering her way out of the ring. Unfortunately for Lynch, this escape attempt results in her being inadvertently slammed against the ringside barricade by Jax. As the referee tends to the injured Lynch, a surprising figure emerges from the crowd. Liv Morgan, seemingly out of nowhere, delivers a flying forearm strike from atop the barricade, causing the referee to disqualify Jax for this illegal outside interference. ## WINNER: DQ ## In the aftermath of the disqualification, Morgan enters the ring and engages in a heated verbal exchange with Lynch. Jax, seemingly enraged, intervenes, forcefully pulling Morgan out of the ring and sending Lynch crashing into the ring post in the process. Jax then adds insult to injury by delivering a brutal leg drop to Morgan.## The scene shifts backstage, where Ricochet presents his case to Adam Pearce, advocating for himself as the rightful challenger to GUNTHER's Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. However, his argument is interrupted by the arrival of Judgment Day, who counter with their own argument, firmly believing JD McDonagh deserves the title shot.## After the commercial break, we see Lynch confront Morgan, expressing her vehement disapproval of Morgan's interference in the match.

After a brief struggle, Vinci enters the match, tagging in and landing a punch to Balor's stomach. Balor retaliates swiftly with a dropkick to Vinci's face, then shoves him into the corner. Priest, eager to join the fight, tags in and throws Vinci with force into the opposite corner. He unloads a barrage of punches and stomps on Vinci before Kaiser tags in, desperate to gain control.
