Find out with this recap of the March 8 show, which also featured the latest chapter in the rivalry between Bobby Lashley and Karrion Kross as they clashed in one-on-one action. He introduced his business partner, KSI, only for their victory lap to be interrupted by Randy Orton. WWE has never had an on-canvas sponsor in its long history. While it will take some getting used to, it is a regular occurrence in combat sports and even in other wrestling companies, and will likely make the company a ton of money. As for the Orton-Paul feud, this essentially solidifies the idea that they will square off in Philadelphia, though it would have been nice to see The Viper a bit more revenge-minded given that the United States Champion cost him a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania. On the heels of Randy Orton's victory over Austin Theory in the main event of last week's show, The Viper teamed with Kevin Owens to battle the former chosen one and Grayson Waller in tag action. The heels had the opportunity build heat, even if the outcome was never really in question. Orton received the hot tag late, unloaded on the opposition, and then joined Owens for a sweet pop-up RKO to Theory for the win. After the match, Paul attacked both men and teased using his brass knuckles on them. Orton wrestled the weapon away and swung at The Maverick, who ducked. The Viper stopped just shy of plastering Owens, which hinted at dissension between them. This is heading toward a Triple Threat Match for the United States Championship and if Paul's previous WrestleMania performances are any indication, it should be a good one.

Seemed like a bit of overkill.

World heavyweight champion Seth "Freakin" Rollins and Cody Rhodes were nowhere to be found in the middle of the broadcast only to make an entrance and answer Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Roman Reigns' challenge. Verbal sparring led to a final crescendo of The Rock telling Cody Rhodes he's 20 years younger than his siblings because he's a mistake. He questioned The Rock's authority to determine the terms of a fight because The Great One acknowledged Reigns as his tribal chief. Rollins stepped in to shut The Rock up in turn, calling him "Mr. Midlife Crisis" and telling him his time has passed and they accept The Rock's terms.

Were Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins able to pay off their recent success with a championship victory or did Judgment Day build momentum entering War Games and the Survivor Series main event? Bianca Belair, Shotzi, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch made their way to the ring to kick off SmackDown and, despite teased tension between the latter two, appeared to be on the same page. Bayley, master manipulator and quality villain, arrived on the scene and tried to poke and prod at the delicate partnership, leading to the making of a main event for later in the show pitting The Queen and The Man against any two of the Damage CTRL War Games team. This was essentially any and every show-opening promo segment designed to set up the night's main event. This one had a little bit more substance to it, with the teases of remaining tension between Flair and Lynch, and the obviously absent Iyo Sky, Dakota Kai, Asuka, and Kairi Sane backing up The Role Model, but it was still a fairly uneventful in-ring promo to start the show that easily could have been a far shorter backstage vignette. At least the chemistry between the characters, including Shotzi's unbridled energy in comparison to her more reserved partners, was fun. Ford and Dawkins were the de facto babyfaces, for better or worse, and the Chicago chapter of the WWE Universe wanted to see the team regain the titles they had worn previously.

Paul exited the ring and ran over to Waller and Theory.
