The WWE roster is on the top of the entrance ramp as Vince McMahon and daughter Stephanie McMahon make their entrance to start the show. Vince says any of these men could be WWE World Heavyweight Champion after Royal Rumble, as does Stephanie. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, Braun Strowman) suddenly shows up, and Bray says "Anyone but you, Roman." It's not long before the champ himself, Roman Reigns, shows up. Roman asks what happens if he were to win the Rumble. Stephanie laughs, thinking he's delusional, but Vince has an idea: a one-versus-all match with Roman taking on a whole bunch of Superstars. Vince also says that Dean Ambrose won't be in it, as he is in the first match of the night against Sheamus, who hits Dean with a cheap shot from behind, sending him rolling down the ramp.
Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus ends in a double count-out. After the match, an angry Dean Ambrose breaks down the commentary table, but Kevin Owens viciously blindsides him. Officials have to get Owens off of Dean as he tries to powerbomb Ambrose through a table.
Dean Ambrose walks out of the trainer's room, looking for Kevin Owens.
Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon run into Paul Heyman, who is thrilled about how the show is going. Paul Heyman wants another title shot and WrestleMania appearance for Brock Lesnar.
Titus O'Neil beats Stardust. Stardust attacks Titus after the match.
It's time for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel. After Jericho says he will become a seven-time World Heavyweight Champion, we see tonight's guests, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, Xavier Woods) show up in order to "save the show from itself." No sooner do they say this that the "Rooty Tooty Booty" chants start, and The New Day shame Jericho. The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) show up to interrupt The New Day, wondering why they're the ones with the Tag Team Slammys when The New Day say they're the real best tag team in the WWE, and challenge them to a match. The New Day says there's three of them and only two Usos, but Jericho ups the ante by joining The Usos in their corner.
The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) beat The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) after Chris Jericho breaks Xavier Woods' trombone, upsetting Woods and distracting Kofi long enough for the Usos to get a schoolboy pin for the win.
It is announced that John Cena has successfully undergone shoulder surgery.
Stephanie McMahon and Paul Heyman talk backstage. Heyman wants Brock Lesnar to skip the Royal Rumble and go straight to WrestleMania for a WWE World Heavyweight Championship shot, but Stephanie McMahon says that if he wants the WWE World Heavyweight Championship again, he'll have to fight for it this time. Brock Lesnar is officially in the Royal Rumble match.
Sting is the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.
