By Richard Trionfo on 2020-03-20 21:58:00

We are at the WWE Performance Center and your announcers is Michael Cole.

Michael is in the ring and he says Wrestlemania is too big for one night so it will be on Saturday April 4th and Sunday April 5th.  He says we need a big host for the two nights.  He mentions Rob Gronkowski.

Mojo Rawley is in the ring with Cole and Mojo takes the mic and he wants Cole to GET HYPED!!!!  Mojo introduces Gronkowski and he 'dances' his way to the ring.

Cole asks Gronkowski if it is a dream to be at Wrestlemania.  He says he would watch from the nosebleeds since third grade.  He has been at the FCW arena to support Mojo Rawley.  He has been to Wrestlemanias in front of 80,000 people.  He is here in front of 0 people and he is still hyped.  He says he is ready for anything.

Mojo says he is here to watch Gronkowski's back because people don't just get hit on the field.  Gronkowski says he has his back and then he chops Mojo.  

Baron Corbin's music plays and he congratulates Gronkowski for being the host of Wrestlemania, but you are going to be setting yourself up for failure if you are going to take advice from your little friend.  Baron says he expects Rob to get on his knees and bow down.

Gronkowski says he does not get down on his knees.

Baron says that Rob is a party guy.  Baron says he was in the NFL too.  You are used to wearing pads and a helmet, but we don't do that in the WWE.  You better fall in line like everyone else.

There is a strum and Elias shows up and he says he has a song for Baron.

Baron asks if Elias will go away if he hears the song.

Baron and Gronkowski get face to face and Mojo gets down behind Baron and Rob pushes Corbin over Mojo.

Baron says he is going to hurt Rob but Elias sends Corbin to the floor.

Gronkowski suggests that Elias and Corbin meet at Wrestlemania.

Bill Goldberg's sign is on the door.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Daniel Bryan is excited about their win.  Drew wants them to breathe deep and stretch deep. 

Sami Zayn stops by and yells at them for celebrating their win.  He says their win was a mediocre win.  They are just squeaking by.  He wants to know when will Daniel listen to the Great Liberator instead of this nobody.  Sami says he is untouchable.

Daniel tells Sami to put his title on the line against him and his mediocre teaching at Wrestlemania.

Sami asks Daniel to put his money where his mouth is.  If Drew Gulak, the great teacher can somehow defeat Shinsuke Nakamura next week, then he will happily agree to an Intercontinental Championship match.

Daniel accepts the challenge.

Michael Cole is in the ring and he introduces Paige.

Michael starts to ask a question and Bayley and Sasha Banks interrupt.  Bayley says Paige no shows last week and now this?  Bayley tells Cole to get out of the ring.

Bayley says she is happy to see that Paige finally showed up.

Paige says that Bayley has a way with words.

Bayley says she is not just a role model, but she is a poet.  She tells Paige to say what she has to.

Paige says it is bad enough to have to listen to them week in and week out and run down the women's roster.  You better than that about the Women's Revolution.  It takes more than change, it takes heart.  Anyone who went into that ring showed courage.  Courage you bullies lack.

Bayley says she is the most dominant champion and there is no one past, present, or future who can do it.  Unless you can?  Wait, you can't do it.  You couldn't even show up.

Paige says she sees that Bayley is a bad guy now.  Her career is over and it breaks her heart every day.  She wouldn't wish that on anyone, not even Bayley or Sasha.  Paige says it is Wrestlemania season and she can't wait to see who beats you for the title.  She is going to be able to announce her match.

Bayley says she is not in a match.

Paige says that Bayley will defend the title against Lacey Evans . . . and Dana Brooke.

Bayley asks if they are going to add Tamina.  Does she work here?

Paige adds Tamina to the match.

Bayley tells Paige to relax.  There is just one of her.  

Paige says if you are so dominant, why not add some more.  You will also face Naomi.

Sasha calls Paige a bitch and asks how dare you do that.

Paige says she is glad Sasha chimed in.  The final opponent in the Six Pack Elimination Match will be . . . YOU.

Bayley leaves the ring in anger.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a look at John Cena's return to Smackdown in Boston.
