Legado del Fantasma def. The LWO – WrestleMania XL Tag Team Championship Qualifying Match
Angel and Berto are one step closer to realizing their WrestleMania dreams as they defeated Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro in a WrestleMania XL Tag Team Championship Qualifying Match.
Angel and Berto brought the fight right to The LWO, including throwing Del Toro off the top rope in exhilarating fashion. Del Toro fought hard and tagged in the high-flying Wilde, a move that turned the tide for a short time.
Legado del Fantasma were able to isolate Wilde in the ring before hitting him with a stunning press slam into a kick right to the stomach, winning them the match.
Randy Orton def. Grayson Waller
With United States Champion Logan Paul sitting in on commentary, Randy Orton dispatched Grayson Waller before receiving some big WrestleMania news.
Waller showed a lot of heart, but Orton was his vintage Viper self as he dropped The Aussie Icon on the announce table multiple times before hitting his signature DDT.
After delivering a DDT to Austin Theory, Orton hit an RKO out of nowhere on Waller, giving him the win.
After the match, Theory and Paul attempted to attack Orton, but Kevin Owens ran down to intervene. SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis interrupted the action and announced that Orton and Owens will both challenge Paul for the U.S. Title at WrestleMania XL.
Santos Escobar def. Dragon Lee
Legado del Fantasma picked up their second major victory of the evening as Santos Escobar defeated Dragon Lee.
Lee started the match with a bang as he hit an amazing splash over the top rope, but Escobar weathered the early storm and took control.
Despite Lee's best efforts, Escobar hit a Phantom Driver to secure the victory, but after the match, he was confronted by Rey Mysterio, who challenged him to a match on next week's SmackDown!
