Video Package: This past Friday on SmackDown, Sami Zayn tried to talk some sense into Jimmy Uso, but he was attacked. Jey Uso stood in the crowd and watched.
WWE Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso makes his way to the ring alongside Solo Sikoa. Jey Uso is not there. Jimmy greets the crowd and says he’s seen the posts about how the Bloodline has cracks in it. It may look that way, but if you’ve ever been in a family, you know that families always fight. A “Sami” chant picks up. Jimmy says if you come for one member of the Bloodline, then you come for all members of the Bloodline. Kevin Owens thought there were cracks in the Bloodline, but he found out there weren’t. Sami Zayn found out in his hometown of Montreal that he can’t get over on the Bloodline. As for their boy Cody Rhodes (a “Cody” chant picks up) at WrestleMania, do they think he will get over on their Tribal Chief Roman Reigns? Jimmy says, “Hell no!”
Speaking of the Tribal Chief, he will be here this Friday to remind everyone who thinks they run SmackDown. As for tonight, they’re here to remind them who runs Raw. Jimmy calls anyone out.
The Street Profits answer the call. Montez Ford greets the crowd before pretending to be excited to see the Bloodline. We’ve got Solo. Angelo Dawkins says Sikoa doesn’t wear shoes because his bunions have to breathe. Ford says Jimmy Uso is also in the ring. Ford then says we’ve also got the guy who got a 90 in the new videogame, Jey Uso. Ford then notices he isn’t here. They look for him. Ford says if he were the bridge that keeps the Bloodline together, he’d also be tired. Ford says they have some nerve showing up on their show and trying to put over their absent chief’s orders. Their family is cracking. Jimmy says they talk a lot of trash for people that got bodied by the Bloodline. They need to keep the Tribal Chief’s name out of their mouths. Ford says they’re in Grand Rapids for Monday Night Raw, and they want the smoke!
The Street Profits attack the Bloodline. Dawkins knocks Jimmy out of the ring. The Street Profits then strike away at Solo Sikoa and knock him out of the ring.

Replays are shown from Elimination Chamber of Brock Lesnar hitting Bobby Lashley with a low blow to escape the Hurt Lock. Last Monday on Raw, MVP announced that Omos was challenging Lesnar to a match at WrestleMania.
Coming up next, we’ll find out Brock Lesnar’s response to the challenge on the VIP Lounge.
-Commercial Break-
As we come back from the break, the VIP Lounge is set up in the ring. Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and he makes his way to the ring to a big ovation. Cowboy Brock circles the ringside area and shakes hands with some fans. Lesnar gets in the ring and looks around at the furniture before making himself at home and sitting on the couch.
MVP’s music hits, and he makes his way to the stage looking a little concerned with his cane in his hand. MVP says this wasn’t how he envisioned this going down. Lesnar greets Michigan and apologizes for being early. Lesnar says, “Please join me if you wish.” MVP says he’s good from where he is. Lesnar says he has no beef with MVP. Brock Lesnar is all about business. A “Suplex City” chant picks up. Lesnar says he’s here to listen to MVP in this beautiful VIP Lounge. Lesnar also wants to listen as MVP sells the people here and at home, as well as Brock Lesnar, a fight. MVP wants assurances that they’re talking about business and he won’t be visiting Suplex City. Lesnar says there will be no suplexes tonight.
MVP takes Lesnar at his word and gets in the ring. Lesnar invites him to have a seat in his own VIP Lounge. Lesnar says he wants to hear this since he’s a coward. MVP couldn’t insult him last week or tonight. Lesnar tells MVP to sell him and the people this fight. Lesnar is here tonight to possibly do business. Lesnar tells him to hype the fight.
MVP says Brock Lesnar is the Beast Incarnate. If Brock Lesnar puts his hands on a man, they have no chance. If he takes someone to Suplex City or hits an F-5, that person is done for. Lesnar had his hands full with “The All Mighty” Bobby Lashley, and MVP wasn’t in his corner. Lesnar couldn’t have his way with Lashley, but for some reason, he thinks he can have his way with the 7’3″, 416-pound Nigerian Giant. Lesnar can do whatever he wants to a man, but if he puts his hands on a giant, the giant puts his hands back on him. The issue is the Beast can destroy any man, but a Giant will subdue and conquer a Beast. Lesnar looks giddy. Lesnar can suplex and F-5 anyone he wants, but he can’t do it to the Nigerian Giant named Omos.
Lesnar laughs and gets to his feet before saying that was good. Lesnar gives MVP a high five. Lesnar says that was damn good. Lesnar says he accepts the challenge. MVP asks, “So we’ve got business?” Lesnar says not only does he accept, but they should shake on it and drink on it. MVP says they’ll have a toast to this match. Lesnar points at the WrestleMania sign and puts over the match. MVP looks happy. MVP goes for some champagne, but Lesnar says he brought the good stuff. Lesnar pulls out a flask and happily takes a sip. MVP says he’ll stick with the champagne, but Lesnar insists. MVP takes a sip and accidentally spits it into Lesnar’s face. MVP realizes that he messed up and helps clean Lesnar off. Lesnar tells him to stop before hitting him with an F-5! Lesnar laughs and walks off.
Cathy Kelley is backstage with Becky Lynch and Lita. Later tonight, they’ll face Damage CTRL for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. How are they preparing? Lita says for most of her career, she watched some of the best tag teams at work. Becoming a Tag Team Champion is a check off the bucket list. Lynch says she respects Lita and will leave as champions. They’ll be the most groundbreaking champions of all time.
