Becky Lynch & Shayna Baszler Segment
Becky Lynch: Washington DC, the man has come around. But now the time for joking around is over. No more treading water. I finally know who my WrestleMania opponent is. The cage fighter, Shayna Baszler. Let’s take a look at last night’s Elimination Chamber, shall we.
Shayna Baszler: Becky Lynch has never face anyone like me, that’s because there’s no one like me. I took a chunk out of Becky Lynch’s neck and that’s a taste of what I could do. I just wrecked every other competitor in the Elimination Chamber to send a direct message to Becky Lynch. So, Becky, look at me when I talk to you. I’m going to take the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania and there’s not a damn thing you could do about it, bitch.
Becky Lynch: Now, here’s the thing about Shayna Baszler. Last night, she cut through the entire field. In a matter of minutes, she chopped down the one person it is taken me my entire career to beat. She was a pioneer in Women’s MMA. Top Rank Fighter for ten straight years. Has the longest combine title reign in NXT history. And most interestingly of all, she is a world class scumbag. That’s right Shayna Baszler, you blackhole of charisma. I might be a bitch, but i’m the bitch that runs this division. Now, I used to only recognized you as the constipated looking robot from NXT. The one who refused to shake my hand last year after WrestleMania, you remember that Shayna?
Do you remember that, because I do. But now, I see clearly that you are the biggest threat to come my way since I pried this from your little friend Ronda Rousey’s broken hand last year. Because you’re not just looking for a fight, Shayna. You’re not just looking to take a title either, are you. You have been hiding in the shadows for over a year looking to rewrite history, because normal people like me, don’t beat train killers like you, except me. I did and I will again. At WrestleMania, it’s me versus you. Heart vs. Skill. The Man vs. The Queen Of Spades. But I do believe in my bones that you’re discounting me, that you’re underestimating me and I’m gonna smash your face in for it.

AJ Styles Promo
Not once, but twice, The Undertaker has stuck his nose in business where it doesn’t belong. Not once, but twice, The Undertaker has taken moments from me. He stole a beauty trophy from me at Super ShowDown. And then last night at Elimination Chamber, he cost me a match, check this out. Three years ago at WrestleMania 33, I saw The Undertaker get beat by Roman Reigns. And after the match, The Undertaker folded his jacket, took off his gloves and his hat and laid them nice and neat, right in the middle of the ring. I watched him walk up the isle and half way up, he threw his fist up in the air, as if he was riding off into the sunset. Truthfully, I think that he probably should’ve done that when Brock Lesnar ended his streak, but whatever that doesn’t matter.
The point is, it was a beautiful power moment and The Undertaker ruined it. He ruined it when he came back to the WWE. What was it Taker? Was it your ego? What was it the spotlight? Whatever it is, it’s gonna cost you, because I want you at WrestleMania. Hey, 10-15 years ago, I may have been more hesitant about calling out The Undertaker. But the truth is, I don’t see this mythical monster anymore. I don’t see the phenom anymore. What I do see is a broken down old man named, Mark Callaway. Undertaker should’ve retired ten years ago when he was in his prime. I don’t know what keeps him coming back, but I got a pretty good idea. It’s his wife, it’s Michelle McCool.
Hey, Michelle, I hope you are watching at home cause I’m about to let the cat out of the bag here. Michelle McCool and The Undertaker are married, if you didn’t know. Hey, she plays him like a fiddle. Anything and everything she wants, she gets, despite her husband walking down the ramp, getting in this ring and getting hurt every time he steps in it now. Hey, they got a beautiful family, everything is great. She is just the most conniving person I have ever met in my entire life. You can boo all you want, the truth is the truth. So, hey, how about this? How about I give The Undertaker a little advice? I’m a good guy. Undertaker, your wife is gonna run you into the ground, and i’m gonna help her. I’m gonna make sure you die in that ring at WrestleMania.
How about this, let me rephrase it, I am gonna take The Undertaker’s soul at WrestleMania. I’m gonna do exactly what his wife wants me to do. It’s pretty simple, I’m challenging The Undertaker to a one on one match at WrestleMania. I mean, come on Taker, what do you got to lose? You already lost your dignity, your pride, your mystique. Like I said, you’re just a broken down old man. Oh, boo all you want, cheer all you want. Here’s the truth, Taker I hope you’re listening, these people they don’t give a damn about you. So accept my challenge Taker and fight me at WrestleMania. And I promise you, I will literally put the nail in your coffin.

Edge, Randy Orton, and MVP Segment
MVP: Understand this, I can think of a lot of other cities I much rather be in. But really, you guys are so insignificant, you can’t even become a state, just like a little dot that nobody cares about. But that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because at this point in my career, i’m transitioning from in-ring competitor to absolute brainiac. I’ve tasted championship gold many times. And it’s time to help lead others to championship status. And in order to build my stable, I need a solid foundation. And i’m gonna build my stable around a man like, Edge.
See, he and I go way back, we’re good friends and I learned a lot from him. Edge is that dude, but he has a problem sometimes with focus. So with my leadership, with my guidance, i’m sure there’s no question in my mind I could lead Edge back to the prominence that he once held. I can make Edge a champion again, but he has to focus. He has to listen to me and we have that kind of relationship. Now, I know all of you can’t wait to see Edge, but Edge isn’t here for you. There he is. That’s my man. Business, he’s all about business, you see that expression. We’re about to make a bunch of money man. Come on out here. Do I have a proposition for you?
– Edge makes a b-line to the ring and snatches the microphone out of MVP’s hands.
Edge: Randy, I need you to grow a set and get your ass out here, right now.
MVP: Hey, what’s wrong with you man? See, that’s your problem. Your mental is off, Edge. Your mental is off. You’re focusing on the wrong things, out here embarrassing yourself. Hey, Edge, speaking of focusing on the wrong things, how is your wife?

Drew McIntyre & Paul Heyman Segment
Paul Heyman: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and I’m the advocate for the reigning, defending, undisputed, WWE Heavyweight Champion on the world, Brock Lesnar. For 18 years, my client has demonstrated, beyond a shadow of a doubt, he is single most dominant force in the history of WWE. The list of victims is endless. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Nature Boy Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena and even The Undertaker at WrestleMania. No one, no one has been so dominant for so long.
Drew McIntyre: My name is, Drew McIntyre. But here’s a shocker for you, everything that man said, was a hundred percent true. There’s never been anyone in WWE who’s dominated the roster, conquered everything in his path quite like, Brock Lesnar. Then, Brock Lesnar ran into me. Now, just in case Brock Lesnar thought it was a fluke, you know, a bad day at the office. Last week here on Raw, I showed Brock Lesnar that he finally met his match. I’ve learned in my life, never make a claim or promise I can’t back up, so I’m gonna choose my words very carefully. With that being said, I’m gonna ClayMore Brock Lesnar, flush in the face, knock him on his ass and pinned Brock Lesnar to become the reigning, defending, undisputed, WWE Heavyweight Champion of the world at WrestleMania.
