By Richard Trionfo on 2024-03-08 21:59:00

Your announcers are Corey Graves and Wade Barrett.

We start off with a look back at last week's Smackdown when Rock made the challenge to Seth and Cody for Night One of Wrestlemania.

We see a pick up truck arrive at the building earlier today and Rock emerges, with a cowboy hat and he stands next to the truck for a moment before he mosies with security behind him.

We see Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman with his own security detail.

We see Cody Rhodes arrive earlier with Seth Rollins.  They are greeted by Nick Aldis and their personal security detail.

The United States Champion Logan Paul makes his way to the ring.

Logan says Dallas is his city of firsts.  Two years ago, Logan wrestled his first Wrestlemania in Dallas (sic).  Tonight, y'all will be the first to see history unfold before your eyes.  If you know anything about him, he is a conqueror.  Logan refuses to play the 'what' games and he says he didn't join the WWE to take part, he joined to take over.  He had the best rookie year, he is the US Champion.  He says everything he touches turns to gold.  No one garners attention like him.  Since his first appearance, they have broken records.  Logan says he is the secret sauce and the business is booming.  One could almost say that the WWE is in it's PRIME. 

Logan says he has a surprise for Dallas.  He asks for a drum roll.

We see a Prime logo on the center of the mat.  He says his company has partnered with the WWE to be the first ever center ring sponsor of this organization.  Starting at Wrestlemania and every PPV thereafter.  Now, he wants to welcome England's finest and his partner in crime to the ring . . . KSI.

Logan says a moment like this deserves a photo. 

Randy Orton's music plays to interrupt the moment.  Orton does not make his way to the ring down the aisle, but he emerges from under the ring and he goes for an RKO on Logan but Logan escapes.  Logan doesn't say anything to KSI and he backs into an RKO.

Randy grabs a bottle and smells it and then he takes a drink and he says it is very good and then he pours it on KSI.

We go to commercial.
