Match 1 – Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe
Great physical match up. The match did not bury Sami Zayn literally, he might have lost, but it was not a burial for the Canadian we would say. The match was booked really well, it would help both wrestlers’ profile. Joe defeated Sami with Coquina Clutch.
Winner – Samoa Joe by submission
Backstage everyone was seen saying goodbye to Mick Foley as he finally Triple H. He came close to Mick, and said: “Have a Nice Day” and left.

Match 2 – Dana Brooke vs. Charlotte Flair

Chris Jericho came to the arena to address the ‘real’ Kevin Owens. Jericho said that he would address his former best friend tonight, and he did not want friendship from people like Owens anymore, he had a lot of friends and all the fans in the arena are his friends.
Then he showed a photo of Kevin Owens when he was 16 year old wearing a Chris Jericho T-Shirt and posing Jericho’s signature pose. In another footage, he showed Kevin Owens asking for Jericho’s advice in 2014.
Jericho said that he was not Owen’s best friend, he was his hero and at WrestleMania he will be facing his hero. Samoa Joe distracted Jericho as Kevin Owens attacked Jericho from behind. Owens beat down Jericho badly. Then he tear down the list of Jericho.

Match 4 – No DQ Match – WWE Raw Women’s champion Bayley vs. Nia Jax
The match was stipulated as if Nia Jax could win this match, she would challenge Bayley for the Raw Women’s championship at WrestleMania and she would make it a fatal 4-way match.
