Backstage<\/em><\/span>
\nThe show opens with Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley already brawling backstage. Hawkins, Ryder, No Way Jose, and a bunch of officials attempt to break them up with little luck. The fight makes its way out to the stage where Rollins pushes Lashley off the stage to the floor. After a bit more brawling, the two men are separated.<\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nJohn Cena heads to the ring. Cena welcomes everyone to the road to Wrestlemania. On the road to Wrestlemania, you either step up or you get left out. So right now, Cena is going to step up. There is just one match that gives you a golden ticket to Wrestlemania, and that’s the Royal Rumble. Cena plans to earn his golden ticket by officially entering himself into the 2019 Royal Rumble match.<\/p>\n

Drew McIntyre comes out to the stage. McIntyre says he has waited for this moment for years. McIntyre doesn’t care about Cena’s stupid hair, he just cares about Cena’s 16 world championships. McIntyre agrees with people who say that Cena is the greatest of all time. McIntyre recounts his history of destroying the greats. McIntyre says he is the most dangerous man in WWE now, and he has come for Cena. McIntyre slowly walks down to the ring.<\/p>\n

Cena says he was happy to start the night, but now he’s sad. He’s sad because he’s heard what McIntyre just said from many, many people before. What makes McIntyre think he’s any different. McIntyre says the others were all talk, but McIntyre plans to show Cena.<\/p>\n

Lio Rush interrupts before and fighting can happen. Rush and Lashley come out to the stage, and Rush is upset that Rollins has gone insane. Rush plans to get a lawyer if something isn’t done about Rollins. As Rush talks, Rollins attacks Lashley from behind. Dean Ambrose joins the brawl, and so do Cena and McIntyre. After a few moments, Finn Balor joins the fight as well.<\/p>\n
