Winners: Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon!
Highlights: Daniel got a hero’s welcome with an amazing intro that marked his in-ring return. While him and Shane stood in the ring waiting for their opponents, Owens and Zayn ran in from behind and attacked their former bosses. Owens and Zayn took their fight to the outside and threw Shane right into the crowd near his family. Then both men turned their attention to Daniel and Powerbombed him right onto the ring apron. While EMT’s tended to Daniel on the outside, Shane called for the bell to ring so he could start the match against Owens and Zayn. Shane made sure to knock Zayn off the ring apron so he could focus on striking down Owens. His string of offensive moves put him in a good position at first, but he eventually fell victim to Owens and Zayn’s combined assault. For several uncomfortable minutes, Shane found himself on the receiving end of several big moves from Owens and Zayn. Shane tried making a comeback, but he got cut off repeatedly.

Owens punished Shane even more by landing a Running Senton Splash and a Frog Splash off the top rope. Owens looked to pin Shane, but Daniel ran back in to make the shocking save! Owens looked to take Shane out moments later by landing a Cannonball Splash into him in the corner, but Shane dodged it at the very last second. Shane fought valiantly to make the tag to Daniel.

Daniel laid into both men with repeated corner dropkicks and then forced Zayn off the top rope with a Frankensteiner.
As Daniel looked to land another big move, Owens grabbed his foot from the outside. This gave Zayn enough time to tear into Daniel with a sudden Helluva Kick! The match continued as Owens Superkicked Shane from the ring apron, which led to Owens turning his attention to Daniel and planting him with a Pop-Up Powerbomb. This still wasn’t enough to finish off Daniel, though! Soon after, Owens found himself laid out on the outside after Shane dove onto him. Daniel then went on a tear as he kicked Zayn in the chest repeatedly. Daniel got another WrestleMania moment after using his running knee to ground Zayn and finally lock him into the Yes! Lock.

Winner: And the new WWE Raw Women’s Champion, Nia Jax!
Highlights: Bliss made a grand entrance and made sure to call out Mickie James as her plus-one for this title defense. Once the big match introductions ended, Nia ran right at Mickie and beat her into nothingness. Bliss tried a sneak attack on Nia, but this further angered her and pushed her to end Mickie with a Samoan Slam on the outside. Once the bell rang, Bliss made an attempt at damaging Nia but her offense seemingly tickled the bigger challenger. Nia remained in control until Bliss stuck her fingers in her eyes to blind her. Bliss finally got some offense going as she worked on Nia’s back. Nia almost made another comeback, but she found herself hurting on the outside after she mistakenly rammed her shoulder into the ring post. Bliss then came off the top rope to land on her larger foe with a Twisted Bliss.
Back in the ring, Bliss looked to stay in control. But her constant verbal taunting woke Nia back up and pissed her off even more. A Snap DDT brought Nia down to the mat for a split second, but then Nia got back to her feet to do some damage. Nia crushed Bliss with a bevy of moves and finally wore Bliss down to a shell of her former self. Nia finally got rid of Bliss after taking her out with a devastating top rope Samoan Slam.
