Brock Lesnar tries to take down Omos early on but the "Nigerian Giant" just launches him across the ring. He follows that with an elbow and a headbutt as he then picks up Lesnar and body slams him to continue his early dominance. Lesnar attempts to get back to his feet but he is met with another slam straight away. Omos drives in a couple of shots to the back before setting in the bear hug.
Omos slams Lesnar down once more and then puts the Bear Hug back in place, but Lesnar fights his way out only to be Chokeslammed as the "Beast Incarnate" has to kick out of the pinfall attempt. Omos misses with a splash in the corner and that is followed by several German suplexes from Lesnar. He then picks up Omos for an F5, but his back gives out and Omos then tries to lift him but Lesnar reverses and this time he does connect with the F5 and Omos is unable to respond.
Winner: Brock Lesnar

Morgan sends Natalya across the ring though and Raquel Rodriguez tags in and tries to power out Natalya but she responds with a hurricanrana.
Nattie aims for a discus clothesline but Rodriguez kicks her arm away and Natalya tags in Chelsea Green who tries to come in with a missile dropkick but Rodriguez doesn't budge. Instead, she ends up hitting Deville with a fallaway slam but Shotzi tags her and then runs into Green as she is leaning on the ropes. Shotzi ends up hitting a double crossbody to take out Green and Deville and she then knocks Shayna Baszler off the apron before throwing Deville into her and she then suicide dives through the ropes into both of them.

The Miz Gets Another Open Challenge
The Miz and Snoop Dogg are out again to announce the official attendance for the weekend. He then complains at Snoop for putting him in a match last night when he wasn't ready, but he just says, "my bad." Miz says that's not good enough and this is his city, his ring, and his WrestleMania. However, Snoop disagrees as it's their city and their WrestleMania. He didn't mean "my bad," he meant..."my bad" as he points to the stage and Shane McMahon retuns!
McMahon gets a huge reaction and he gets emotional admitting people have no ide how much that meant to him. Snoop then tells Shane to take care of McMahon and the bell rings for a match while Miz complains. However, Shane starts throwing his traditional punches in the corner, but he then leapfrogs Miz and lands awkwardly, seemingly seriously injuring himself as doctors get into the ring to attend to him. Instead, Snoop gets into the ring and ends up dropping Miz with a right hand. He admits he can't believe Miz did that and so he drops him with another right hand.
Snoop Dogg then hits the Snoop Elbow and picks up the victory himself as he poses with the Golden Title.
Winner: Snoop Dogg
Finn Balor vs. Edge (Hell In A Cell Match)
Edge gets a Brood entrance while Finn Balor is the Demon. Edge throws a few punches to start but Balor isn't impacted, Edge gets a chair but Balor uses a kendo stick first to attack Edge as he then launches Edge into the steel. Edge then responds with some kendo stick shots of his own as he then traps Balor in the corner of the cell with the kendo sticks and hits a dropkick from the ring apron.
Edge sets up a table leaning on the steel, but Balor fights back and sends Edge crashing into the steel stairs, but inside the ring, Edge hits an Impaler DDT.

Balor then sends Edge crashing through the table as he throws several chairs at him, but in the ring, Edge responds with a Killswitch.
Edge then resorts to pulling out a ladder and he launches it at his opponent. This busts Balor open and so the medical team comes in and the match stops as he is looked over, so Edge goes and gets more weapons. Balor fights back and while he misses with the Coupe De Grace he avoids the Spear as Edge hits the ladder, but he kicks out of the attempted roll-up.
Balor then hits a sling blade as he dropkicks Edge into the turnbuckles which allow him to hit the Coupe De Grace, yet Edge kicks out.

However, Rhodes responds with one of his own as he then slams Rhodes into the ring apron.
However, as Rhodes puts Reigns back into the ring he distracts the official which allows Solo Sikoa to attack Rhodes with a chair and Reigns follows up with a Drive By. Inside the ring, Sikoa causes a distraction again by grabbing Rhodes' foot which allows Reigns to nail him with a lariat.

The "Tribal Chief" turns over and puts the pressure on his challenger, but he gets the rope as both men take a breather.
The two then exchange blows back and forth until Rhodes hangs up Reigns on the top rope, but after he misses with a top rope move Reigns connects with a Spear, but it's not enough! Reigns then just hammers down with punches as he receives heavy boos, but he responds by locking Rhodes into the Guillotine as Rhodes begins to fade, but he keeps the arm up and fights back only for Reigns to wrap the legs and apply further pressure. Rhodes manages to break out of it as he then hammers down rights on the champion, but he then accidentally takes out the official. Reigns hits a Superman Punch, Rhodes responds with a clothesline and everyone is down.
