– They air footage from last night’s Royal Rumble post show, featuring John Cena and Rusev getting into a scuffle. They announce the Fastlane pay-per-view will feature John Cena versus Rusev.
– Arnold Schwarzenegger is formally announced as the newest inductee into the 2015 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame.
– Dean Ambrose is shown trekking through the snow, and smiles when he sees the doors to WWE headquarters are still open, and he goes inside. Byron Saxton finds him and asks how he got there, and Ambrose says he went for a walk to clear his head. He says sure he got a ride from Philadelphia, but then he walked a bit more to get here when he heard they moved the show. Ambrose says his road here is just like the road to Wrestlemania, and none of the dangerous conditions will hold him back, and he will get to Wrestlemania.
– Renee Young joins Daniel Bryan in the studio, and she asks Bryan what his run in 2014 was like. Bryan says he loved every moment, eventhough he wasn’t supposed to be there. He says The Authority didn’t want to give him a chance but the fans have the power, and they gave him an awesome opportunity. She talks about the aftermath and how Kane injured him, and Bryan says losing his title was devastating, and he felt like he let down the fans. Bryan says he changed his mindset and told himself he needed to win the title back, but Renee says he was eliminated early in the Royal Rumble match and the fans were upset. Bryan says they wanted him to win, and they were upset Roman Reigns won, and even he was upset Reigns won, but he failed, and Reigns took the opportunity. Bryan takes a shot at Reigns and says he had The Rock’s help and has been ‘fed’ by WWE his whole life, but if Reigns can sacrifice like he has, he will succeed.
-Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar are face-to-face in the studio and Paul Heyman shakes Reigns’ hand, and he says he always respected him and is proud of his accomplishment. Heyman says he would like to ask the questions here, and Heyman says he’s known Reigns’ family longer than Reigns actually has. He tells stories about how he knew each member of his family, including Rikishi, The Usos, The Wild Samoans, and Heyman says he is really proud of how far Reigns has come. Heyman says he knows The Rock, but The Rock also knows Brock Lesnar, and The Rock was “the guy” in 2002, but he ran into Brock Lesnar. He says Reigns is the ‘next best thing’ like Brock was, but the difference is Brock beat The Rock and there never was a rematch because it’s all The Rock could handle.
Heyman says he doesn’t get why The Rock doesn’t tell Reigns what he is in store for, and he gets that Reigns is “the one” to beat the one in 21-1, but Reigns and his family will be disappointed. He says Reigns will lose the main event of Wrestlemania and asks Reigns what he thinks, but Reigns says he wants to answer Lesnar himself. Reigns says he knows who and what Lesnar is, but Lesnar doesn’t know him, and he will take that title away; they both know it, but if he can’t, he’s taking a piece of Lesnar with him. Reigns says he should believe that, then Lesnar gets in his face, and they end up shaking hands; Lesnar says he doesn’t respect him like Heyman does, but Reigns says he will.
