Opening
The show opened with AJ Styles coming to the ring. Renee asked him how he felt about having to defend his title in a handicap match. AJ said he should have kept his mouth shut, but he could still kick the crap out of both Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens by keeping the hitting hard. Renee accused him of not answering her question, which was whether the decision Daniel Bryan made was fair. He told her no, but neither is life. She asked if AJ thought Daniel Bryan was playing favorites to Zayn and KO. AJ told her he didn't know.
After more talking, KO and Zayn came to the ring. They said it would take a miracle for AJ to beat them. They claimed they would be the first co WWE champion ever. They started a Yep chant.
Then Shane McMahon's music interrupted. He said it was unfair that the match was made and didn't know why DB would give either Zayn or KO another chance to be champion. But he backed the decision to have the match at the Royal Rumble...for now. He then suggested a handicap match for tonight. He made a match between KO and Zayn vs AJ, Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton.
Next, backstage it showed Shane talking to Daniel Bryan. He said the main event was a hell of a main event and they shook hands with each other.

The two complained about not getting the tag belts and they complained about the ref. Daniel Bryan came out and accused them of complaining about management. He let them know the ref's decision is final and Benjamin told them the ref's decision was that they won the match. He said the ref's decision to change his mind was his and then the two mocked DB.
