– Maximum Male Models (Maxxine Dupri, ma.çé & mån.sôör) continued to scout Otis, The trio accompanied him to the ring for his match against Johnny Gargano.

– MVP was set to host the VIP Lounge as Brock Lesnar was supposed to answer Omos’ challenge for a match at WrestleMania. Lesnar came to the ring first and told MVP to sell him on the fight with Omos. MVP responded by hyping up Lesnar and Omos, as he noted that the Nigerian Giant is not a man. He stated that Omos would conquer him. Lesnar gave MVP a high-five and accepted the challenge. He wanted to drink with MVP to celebrate. MVP took a sip and inadvertently spit in Lesnar’s face, and Lesnar dropped him with an F5.

– The Miz hosted a special WrestleMania edition of Miz TV. He referenced the gift Maryse gave him on the February 21 episode of WWE Raw. He revealed that he would be the host of WrestleMania 39, and he took some shots at Logan Paul. Seth Rollins interrupted and congratulated him. But when he asked for The Miz to help him contact Paul, “The A-Lister” rejected him. He cited the way Rollins has treated him in recent weeks, and Rollins responded by attacking The Miz. Rollins then took The Miz’s phone, and he FaceTimed Paul. Rollins proceeded to invite Paul to Raw the following week, and Paul accepted.

– Elias faced Bobby Lashley. Backstage, Rick Boogs watched the match and took notes as Lashley picked up a dominant win with the Hurt Lock. Lashley grabbed a microphone and made it clear that he wanted another shot at Brock Lesnar. He referenced Bray Wyatt’s games and said he doesn’t play kid games.

Wyatt appeared on the screen and did the “Muscle Man Dance” before he morphed into his darker self and warned Lashley to run.

– Cody Rhodes faced Chad Gable. The two stars went back and forth in a competitive match. Gable got a near fall on a moonsault. Rhodes rallied and took Gable down with a dive to the outside. Rhodes dumped Otis over the barricade. He then dropped Gable with the Cross Rhodes for the win.

– Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa came to the ring for their match against the Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins). Jimmy acknowledged the speculation about The Bloodline and noted that families fight all the time. He referenced the way Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens lost their matches against Reigns recently. Jimmy brought up Cody Rhodes and expressed his confidence that he won’t get one over on The Bloodline at WrestleMania. Ford and Dawkins interrupted and poked fun at The Bloodline’s recent issues before they kick-started the match by taking the fight to Uso and Sikoa. At the end of the hard-fougt bout, Sikoa clinched the win by hitting the Samoan Spike on Dawkins. After the bell, Sikoa and Jimmy attacked the Street Profits, but Kevin Owens made the save.

– Asuka clashed with Carmella. “The Princess of Staten Island” took control and grounded Asuka. “The Empress of Tomorrow” fired up with a flury of offense and made Carmella tap out to an arm-bar. Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair came to the ring and told Asuka she’s the “EST”, but Carmella dropped both both women with a cheap shot.
