We are back and it is time for Alexa's Playground.
Alexa asks if you love Jack in the Boxes. She wants to let you in on a little secret. It is so much more. Centuries ago these were called a Devil in a Box. They had spells all over them. That is what happened at TLC. That is what happened to him. Randy burnt the Fiend alive and Randy truly believed the Fiend was gone forever. Randy was wrong. The Fiend was just weakened. He was trapped in his Fiend in a Box. All he needed was time. Now he is just salivating at the idea of standing across the ring from Randy at Wrestlemania.
Randy's biggest mistake was playing with fire. His biggest mistake now is thinking he knows what is next. Alexa wants to give everyone a hint. At Wrestlemania, the legend killer dies.
Alexa plays with her Jack in the Box and Brayson Voorhees shows up.
Drew McIntyre is in the back and he looks for someone to try to collect on Lashley's offer.
Drew enters the locker room and he says he is disappointed that no one has taken Lashley up on the deal. A few years ago, Drew would have taken a chance for a title match at Wrestlemania. He yells at people on the phone. Drew asks Braun why isn't he going after him since he should be a five time champion already.
Braun says he will deal with Shane at Mania and if Drew is the champion, he will come after him.

Nia says if Asuka can get from under the table, they can meet in the ring next week and she can show what brutality is. Rhea accepts the match.
Ricochet walks in the back and MVP says that it is about time Ricochet is taking Bobby up on his offer.
