The Vision and Theory then make their way to the ring.

Paul Heyman introduces himself, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed, and Theory, then says this will be the moment fans look back on across social media and see all of the WrestleMania main event players standing in the ring right now. He says the moment fans scroll back to is in the ring right now, then officially introduces Theory as the newest member of The Vision.

Theory says he's worked his entire career for this moment, then calls Breakker the next World Heavyweight Champion. CM Punk's music cuts Theory off and he makes his way to the ring. Punk says he's not out here to listen to Theory, but for Breakker. He says he's been called a lot of things in his career, then says he hopes someone in The Vision has a brain. He says he could come into the ring and say a few things, but Breakker, Paul, Reed, and Theory would probably attack him. He invites Paul, Reed, Heyman, and Theory to leave the ring to he can talk to Breakker alone.

Punk goads Breakker into making the rest of The Vision leave the ring, and Breakker invites Punk into the ring before he dismisses the rest of The Vision. Breakker says The Vision exists because they look ahead to the future as he alludes to his stablemates on the outside, then says he's tired of everyone saying that he's the future because he's the now. He says no one is more of a dog than him, then says he's not the same as Punk. He says he's willing to die for the World Heavyweight Championship on January 5 as does Punk, then vows to become the new titleholder after he deals with Punk.

Punk says it's a privilege to carry the World Heavyweight Championship, then says he's not ready to let it go or stop having the privilege of asking the fans if it's good to be alive on a Monday night. He says Breakker is big, bad, strong, and tough, but they aren't the same because Breakker isn't CM Punk.

Nikki Bella then makes her way to the ring. Raquel Rodriguez and Stephanie Vaquer follow. 

The bell rings and Nikki rocks Vaquer with a forearm. She delivers a dropkick to Rodriguez on the outside and sends Vaquer crashing into the barricade, then dumps Vaquer back into the ring and sends her crashing into all four top turnbuckle face first during the commercial break.

Nikki ascends to the middle rope, but Rodriguez clocks her from behind and delivers a bodyslam to her. She fires off back elbows on Vaquer and pins her, but Vaquer kicks out. Rodriguez has a submission hold cinched in on Vaquer back from the break, but Nikki ascends to the top rope and flies to break the hold. Rodriguez then cinches in a one shoulder Torture Rack on Vaquer, but Vaquer escapes and rolls up Rodriguez. Rodriguez kicks out.

Vaquer sets up for the Devil's Kiss on Nikki, but Rodriguez breaks things up before Vaquer can deliver the move. Vaquer then ascends to the top rope and lands a crossbody on Rodriguez, but Nikki sends Vaquer crashing into the ring post shoulder first and cinches in an STF on Rodriguez. Vaquer manages to reverse the hold and keep Nikki trapped in it as she lands the Devil's Kiss on Rodriguez.
