Show opens up and Triple H comes out to the ring. He starts trying to put over the upcoming WrestleMania show and also recounts the events from last night’s Elimination Chamber. When he remembers Kofi Kingston’s performance, the crowd chants Kofi’s name. H also points out that, despite Becky Lynch’s appearance being “pretty damn cool”, she will be arrested and prosecuted for disregarding her suspension. Then Triple H reveals that some of the top NXT stars will be making their Raw debuts tonight. Also, Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin will compete in a Tables Match, which will take place right now.

Tables Match: Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin

Strowman has his ribs taped up after Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre ganged up on him last night. Corbin has considerable success, capitalizing on Strowman’s injury, but Strowman ends up putting Corbin through a table with a Running Powerslam.

Winner: Braun Strowman

As Strowman is heading to the back, he runs into Paul Heyman on the main stage. He grabs Heyman by the scruff and intimidates him a little bit before finally taking his leave.

Paul Heyman goes to the ring and cuts a promo extolling the virtues of his client The Beast Brock Lesnar.
