Elias leaves Triple H’s office, happy about something. As he leaves Shane enters, as the two have a stare down from the guitar shot Elias gave Shane last month. Shane asks Triple H if he has anything to do with Ellering using Wyatt’s lantern? Triple H says that’s hardly relevant because he just got another championship and it’s only the beginning. Triple H suggests that Shane find a suitable representative for Wrestlemania, because if Shane loses then he fails the WWE. Hunter excuses himself, saying he has a show to run.

Triple H is watching backstage, not convinced Rusev will give up both belts after the fallout he had with McIntyre. Triple H reveals that sending Aiden English in to try and convince Rusev to hand over his belts for his home country didn’t work. He believes Rusev is smarter than he thought. Hunter decides that if exploiting Rusev’s patriotism didn’t work, then maybe exploiting something else will. Triple H looks at Undertaker’s Urn as Stephanie asks what he is thinking? Triple H claims Rusev was always the ‘romantic type’ and opens the urn.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tRH4Tj-LW8
Objective: Win with Dusty Rhodes
Triple H sees the result of the match, and asks Stephanie how her and Vince got all the belts together at once? Stephanie says she forcefully took them from people who wouldn’t relinquish the belts on their own. Triple H asks about the electricity that the belts shoot off for non-champions who touch them? Stephanie says they worked around it.
Triple H thinks he might have to follow the same path Vince took if the results don’t all go in their favor, mentioning that Papa Shango is becoming impatient. Stephanie agrees and is ready to act whenever Hunter gives the word. Triple H decides to be a bit more patient, claiming no one has found Papa Shango, Jinder or JBL’s limo yet.
Speaking of…
John Cena is backstage with The Fashion Police and Roman Reigns going over the plan. They are going to use the fake Papa Shango hat to bring him out of hiding, which the Fashion Police say is smart but also dangerous. They stop talking after hearing a banging noise. Reigns thinks they’re being listened to, so they decide to move the conversation elsewhere. They move as a bunch limos are seen parked nearby. One of the limo’s trunk continues to pop up and down, clearly Mahal trying to escape.
NORMAL TAG TEAM MATCH – WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship
(C) The Bar vs. #DIY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRTD0ZB7wl8
Objective: Win with #DIY
Triple H, watching backstage, is convinced that McIntyre has led the international superstar group nowhere in Mahal’s absence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jun5vHGlfQ

Our Missing Maharaja
Triple H and Stephanie approach the various limos in the parking lot. Stephanie says one of them has to be JBL’s limo unless Jinder is hiding it somewhere else. Triple H says it will take forever to check all the limos, but Stephanie hears a banging noise. She sees one of the trunks moving and runs over to it. Stephanie tells Hunter to get his sledgehammer to open the trunk. Hunter pulls it out of his pocket! This reveals that Triple H’s sledgehammer is a voodoo cursed WWE item, able to fit it anywhere (explains why Triple H pulls it out of nowhere throughout his career).
Triple H drills the limo trunk to open it as Jinder Mahal jumps out enraged. He is going crazy, some from being trapped but mostly from the electricity he absorbed that’s still in his body. Stephanie mentions that the trunk’s odor smells awful. She asks what a passed out Dolph Ziggler is doing in there, which Jinder reveals Dolph knows what’s going on. Stephanie decides to just leave Dolph in the trunk and guard the limo. She says she is going after the championship belts. Stephanie leaves as Triple H and Jinder guard the limo with Hunter’s sledgehammer. Triple H mentions that once they’re done here, Jinder needs to shower badly.
LAST MAN STANDING MATCH – WWE Hardcore Championship
(C) Apollo Crews vs. Cactus Jack ’98
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkCmPPYyfJ0
Objective: Win with Apollo Crews
Time to Collect
Crews’ celebration is short-lived as the lights go out. They turn back on as A.O.P. is in the ring with Ellering. They beat down Crews and pick up his Hardcore Championship (able to because A.O.P. wears gloves). The lights go out and turn back on as A.O.P and the Hardcore Championship are gone.
NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura & NXT Tag Team Champion TM61 walk into the arena. A WWE official asks what they are doing here? They reveal they were invited for the NXT reunion party after tonight’s show. The WWE official has no idea what they are talking about, as Paul Heyman appears. Heyman says he will never manage the three because they are so incredibly gullible.
WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar comes out of nowhere and ambushes the three with ease. Stephanie approaches with a big box as Lesnar (who wears gloves) drops the NXT titles, along with his own, into the box. Stephanie thanks Brock for his help, and mentions it’s nice to see the two on the same page. A loud ‘BRAUNNNNNN!’ is heard from the distance as Lesnar and Heyman scurry away.
NORMAL MATCH – WWE Divas Championship
(C) Asuka vs. Paige
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5QXllTP78M
Objective: Win with Paige
Asuka can barely stand her ground in the fight. After, Asuka is exhausted and laying in the ring. Stephanie McMahon comes down to the ring as Paige drops her belt into the box. Stephanie kicks the WWE Raw Women’s Championship into the box, not touching it with her hands. Asuka is too defenseless to fight back. Many divas that include Becky Lynch, Naomi, Charlotte Flair, and Bayley all come out to approach Stephanie. Stephanie leaves through the audience to avoid confrontation.
Everybody Has a Price
Million Dollar Champion Dusty Rhodes is walking around backstage with Ted DiBiase. DiBiase checks his phone, and claims his bank account just tripled! Rhodes asks why, as DiBiase knocks him out! DiBiase replies because Hunter and Stephanie need the Million Dollar Championship. DiBiase does his patent laugh and says ‘everyone has a price.’ Ted looks up to see Papa Shango’s hat in the middle of the hallway. WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion #DIY see what DiBiase is doing and confront him. As they do, Shango appears and knocks #DIY’s heads into each other.
DiBiase puts the Million Dollar and Smackdown Tag Team Championship into his briefcase. Ted looks up and runs off as Shango turns around to see a waiting John Cena, Roman Reigns and The Fashion Police. They are holding the fake Shango hat in hand, as Reigns asks what are the odds they ran into Shango backstage randomly?
Are Those Pink Handcuffs?
Fandango tells Breeze to cuff Shango, as Breeze pulls out a pair of pink-furry handcuffs. This makes everyone pause, as Shango uses the distraction to whip his cane out and send the four superstars flying across the hallway! Shango uses his cane to grab the fake hat. Shango studies it, then rips it in half. He throws on his invisibility cloak and vanishes. Cena is pissed they let Shango escape and decide to go find JBL’s limo since that’s where he is probably headed.
NORMAL MATCH – WWE Undisputed Championship
(C) Shawn Michaels ’97 vs. Seth Rollins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dWZ2-tXvGg
Objective: Win with Seth Rollins
Rollins celebrates his win going up the ramp and backstage to be with his Shield brothers. He goes backstage to see WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose laid out. Rollins checks on him, but Ambrose warns it’s a trap! Rollins is sent flying across the room through a table! Shango reveals himself, hiding in his cloak. Papa Shango grabs both the Intercontinental & Undisputed Championship with his cane’s powers and walks towards the parking lot.
Time, at Last
He arrives to see a standoff between Triple H’s army and John Cena’s. Cena is telling Rusev ‘No!’ as Rusev is in the middle of trading his championship belts to Triple H for Lana, who Hunter brought back using Undertaker’s Urn. Cena calls Triple H scum. Triple H sees Shango, who nods to Triple H. Triple H claims the time is now as all the superstars begin fighting backstage. Stephanie dumps the box of belts into the limo, as Shango dumps the final two in as well. Triple H opens the limo door for Jinder Mahal, as Mahal jumps in quickly and locks the doors. Cena tells his army to go after Shango before he can perform the curse’s ritual, so Shango uses his hat and cane to create another time portal-Maelstrom in the parking lot!
The Big Battle Begins
Batista & Orton use New Day’s Unicorn Horns to make Ricky Steamboat, Greg Valentine, R-Truth, TM61, The Colons, and The Von Erichs jump into the Maelstrom against their own will. New Day sees this. Kofi hits Orton with a Trouble in Paradise as Xavier Woods hits Batista with a chair, sending both into the Maelstrom! New Day gets their unicorn horns back and shoots lasers at the Fabulous Freebirds, forcing them into the time portal. Cactus Jack swings at Cena with Barbie, as Cena ducks and AA’s Jack into the Maelstrom!
Booker T. kicks Dusty into the time portal, but Goldust sacrifices himself to save his father from falling in. Dusty sees this and knocks Booker out with a Bionic Elbow, before mourning his lost son. The Bar is about to hit a Double Razors Edge onto Roman Reigns. Roman counters and Superman Punches The Bar into the Maelstrom! Rick Martel and Razor Ramon fall into the Maelstrom at the hands of all three Stings, however, Martel is able to spray Arrogance into one of the Sting’s faces which causes him to pass out.
Traitors Among Us
Randy Savage and Eddie Guerrero turn on American Alpha mid-fight, and sends them both into the Maelstrom! Lex Luger confronts the two on their heel-turn, so they toss Luger into the Maelstrom as well. WWE Champion Kevin Owens is being shielded by Sami Zayn from flying debris. Shango finishes the curse amidst the chaos as a large beam of electricity drills JBL’s limo.
The energy hits down, knocking everyone out around the limo. The Maelstrom finally stops and Shango admires his work. The limo door opens with a large cloud of smoke exiting. Jinder Mahal steps outside, huffing and puffing. Shango asks Jinder if it worked? Jinder looks up at Shango quickly, almost possessed. Jinder’s eyes are pure red, with little tiny electric currents going through it.
Stephanie approaches and in disbelief whispers to herself, ‘it worked.’ Stephanie asks Jinder how he feels? Jinder screams and grabs Shango by the throat! Shango tries to use his cane to separate himself from Jinder, but Jinder is too powerful. Jinder knocks the cane out of Shango’s hand, rips the cloak off his back, and tosses Shango’s hat aside. Shango tries to put Jinder to sleep, but Jinder crushes his skull necklace with the palm of his hand!
A Possessed Maharaja
Jinder screams almost in pain and opens a time portal with his own hands! He tosses Shango into it! Stephanie is in disbelief over the power Jinder possesses but realizes with Shango gone they can’t replicate the same ritual on herself or Hunter. Realizing this, Stephanie bows to Jinder and says she now serves the Modern Day Maharaja. Jinder motions for Stephanie to lead him out of the arena, which she does.
Bodies are everywhere as Shane McMahon and Kurt Angle approach with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Shane is shocked that the curse worked, along with all the destruction. Shane has no idea how they will beat Jinder after what he just witnessed. Ambrose notices JBL’s limo isn’t even scratched from the chaos. Suddenly the trunk door flies open and across the parking lot. Dolph Ziggler exits. The four run over to Dolph to ask if he’s okay? Dolph raises his head to reveal he has the same eyes Jinder had, only they are blue. Dolph only asks where Jinder is?
