Rey and Dominik hit a double 619 on Roode before they jumped on Otis and Gable at ringside. Dawkins and Ziggler took the fight outside as Montez Ford went to the rope and hit the Frogsplash on Roode for the pinfall win.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler were shown in a video package where Jax took Reginald shopping. Nia was clearly seen in love with him while Baszler was bored with all of this.

Later, Cesaro competed in a rematch against Murphy from last week which was disqualified as Seth Rollins attacked Cesaro in mid-way. The SmackDown Savior hit Cesaro with two back-to-back Stomps before bringing a chair to the ring.

After taking some shots to the back of Cesaro with it, Rollins wanted to hit a Stomp with the chair put on Cesaro’s neck but WWE Official Jamie Noble stopped him from doing so.

The Kevin Owens Show welcomed Bianca Belair and Smackdown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks as guests as they talked about getting a shot at the Women's tag titles at FastLane 2021. Soon the focus shifted to their WrestleMania title match instead as the two weren't seen on the same page.

Later Natalya hit her with a clothesline before sending her out of the ring. Beliar decked Nattie from behind but Tamina rolled up Beliar for the pinfall victory.

Big E returned on SmackDown and wanted to face Apollo Crews but instead, Sami Zayn challenged him for the Intercontinental Title.

Jey Uso then mentioned how a Special Enforcer is needed for this match. Edge interrupted and suggested that he and Jey will compete next week and the winner will be the Special Enforcer at Fastlane.

WWE Official Adam Pearce agreed to the idea and made the match official for next Friday after which a brawl broke out. Edge and Bryan worked as a unit to take out Reigns and Uso from the ring.

Edge was focusing on Reigns as turned right into a Running Knee from Daniel Bryan. Reigns watched it from ringside clutching his title as Bryan led to a YES chant to send the show off-air.
