The Controversy is Over
This Tuesday, the challenger for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania was determined, and it will be AJ Styles.
After last week's Battle Royal ended without a winner, Luke Harper faced AJ Styles one-on-one. The match was tough, but Styles' agility tipped the scales in his favor. However, despite getting Harper to a three count, the match was reset by Shane McMahon, who noticed that Luke had his leg on the rope.
This didn't sit well with The Phenomenal One, who confronted Shane, but accidentally, Luke Harper hit the heir of the McMahons. On the ring, Styles regained control of the match and emerged victorious to become the challenger for Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania.

Verbal Confrontations and Insults
The Miz and John Cena exchanged words. The Awesome One complained that John Cena is the tallest person in WWE not because of talent, but because he manipulates. Meanwhile, The Marine stated that he doesn't manipulate anyone; if he did, he wouldn't be facing The Miz, but rather Undertaker.
After the argument, Maryse insulted John Cena and slapped him; but Nikki Bella came to the ring to threaten The Miz's wife.
On the other hand, Dolph Ziggler defeated Apollo Crews. Additionally, Dean Ambrose attacked Curt Hawkins before their match, so the contest didn't happen. Later, Ambrose exchanged words with Baron Corbin.
In a two out of three falls match, Becky Lynch emerged victorious against Mickie James, despite champion Alexa Bliss's attempted interference.
