Backstage, Rhea Ripley says she is happy Flair is back, but she is focused on her match tonight. While Flair is playing rugby with referees, Ripley will focus on staying RAW Women’s Champion.
In-Ring Segment: MVP and Bobby Lashley
Lashley says he did exactly what he said he was going to do. Lashley walked into WrestleMania champion and walked out champion. Lashley says the moment was that much sweeter since McIntyre was crumpled up at his feet. Lashley says the same thing will happen the next time they fight. MVP goes into a rant about Lashley not being treated properly. Putting him in a triple threat match isn’t fair. The same thing happened when Lashley lost the United States Championship. Lashley says both McIntyre and Strowman know they can’t beat him. Lashley is going to have to watch the match later to protect his interest.
Backstage, Riddle says he is on cloud nine after beating Randy Orton last week. Orton interrupts and says he was going to teach Riddle some respect last week but Riddle sorta earned his respect. Orton says they have nothing in common but the team name “RK-Bro” is kinda catchy. Orton says he called in a favor and they have a tag match tonight if they want it. Riddle is ecstatic. Orton shushes Riddle before he can go into a rant.
Backstage, Nia Jax complains about Flair, Dana Brooke, and Mandy Rose to Reginald and Shayna Baszler. Baszler tells Jax none of that matters. They can’t afford any distractions. Baszler storms off. Someone delivers flowers to Jax. Jax thanks Reginald for the flowers. Reginald says he didn’t send them. Angel Garza walks in and says he sent them. Garza tells Jax she is a beautiful as a Spanish Rose. Garza wishes her luck tonight. Jax and Reginald walk away. Jax sees Rose and Brooke standing by a mirror. Jax yells at Rose to “put these in some water, bitch!” as she slaps Rose upside her head with the flowers.
Sorry, @AngelGarzaWwe.

"After I beat @DMcIntyreWWE tonight, there ain't a damn thing that you and @fightbobby can do to stop me from walking out of #WrestleManiaBacklash as the new #WWEChampion." – @BraunStrowman #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/xyDQNMjajy
