WWE Champion Cody Rhodes faced off against Tiffani Stratton in a three-segment match, which ended with Candice LeRae disqualifying Stratton. Despite the unsatisfying finish, Charlotte Flair emerged victorious after taking out her frustrations on Stratton.

Meanwhile, Trish Stratus made her return, announcing her presence at Elimination Chamber. She also joined forces with Tiffani to suggest a tag team match in Toronto. WWE’s United States Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura, clashed with LA Knight over his claims of being worthy of challenging him for the title.
