 Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and John Cena Exchanged WordsOf the three segments these two have had in recent weeks, this was easily the best of the bunch. Then again, it was a low bar to clear because they've hardly gone back and forth on the mic up until now, but this was strong. Cena still sounds scripted to me, but at least he finally addressed Rhodes before Rhodes fired back with some great lines. The only issue is, Cena isn't currently advertised for any more shows between now and WrestleMania 41, so I'm curious how they handle the remainder of this build.

 Unified WWE Tag Team Champions ShoMiz def. John Morrison and R-TruthYou had to know WWE's tag team division was depleted at the time if two makeshift teams were fighting for the tag titles at WrestleMania. I remember the build being very basic, which reinforced that this only existed to get these guys in a match at 'Mania that wasn't the Money in the Bank Ladder match. Worse yet, this was over before it had a chance to really get going, so what we got was completely forgettable. A total waste of time this was, and a weird choice for the opener.
 Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford Attacked AEW Women's World Champion "Timeless" Toni StormProps to AEW for making this Bayne vs. Storm storyline the best thing going into Dynasty. Bayne has been built up perfectly and Storm is obviously a massive fan favorite. Storm cut her usual quality promo before being brutally attacked by Bayne and Ford. I'm not really sure what role Ford is supposed to have if she's not doing the talking for Bayne, but otherwise, this was well done and a strong start to the show.
 Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton Fended Off Drew McIntyreI certainly wasn't expecting an interaction between Rhodes and Orton on this show, but I'm glad we got it. There's so much history there and I'm looking forward to their eventual feud. This successfully planted the seeds for that, though I hope the tease for Rhodes vs. Orton in Orton's hometown of St. Louis at Backlash was simply a swerve and we end up getting Orton vs. John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship there instead. McIntyre also played his role well here to set up his match with Orton for later in the night.
 TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions Heather and Ash by Elegance def. Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin (Non-Title)I thought there was a strong chance Paxley and Dolin would win because they're NXT talents and it'd set them up for a future title shot, but I'm actually glad that wasn't the case. This was a fairly average outing, but the two teams had nice chemistry. Based on Paxley and Dolin pushing Heather by Elegance's face into her cake (get your mind out of the gutter) afterward, it looks like we haven't seen the last of them against each other.
