AJ Styles on for WrestleMania
AJ Styles was examined by WWE medical staff on Monday for his still unknown injury and he is “on” for WrestleMania, according to Dave Meltzer.
Styles also said yesterday that he definitely will not miss the show and that “it’ll be fine.”
Don't know details on AJ's injury past it is legit, but he was examined yesterday and he's on for Mania.

SmackDown Dark Match
After 205 Live, Bobby Roode & Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler & Jinder Mahal. After they won, someone in a chicken suit came into the ring and Roode and Nakamura danced with him, I guess.

Mixed Match Challenge
The team of Sasha Banks and Finn Balor won the “second chance” fan voting for the Mixed Match Challenge, so they’ll face Charlotte Flair and Bobby Roode next week.
The winners of that match will then face Asuka and The Miz in the finals. Asuka and Miz are pretty much guaranteed to win since WWE stupidly said that Asuka’s streak is on the line in Mixed Match Challenge, meaning that there is no way they will have her lose.
You VOTED and @FinnBalor & @SashaBanksWWE will get a SECOND CHANCE when they compete against @REALBobbyRoode & @MsCharlotteWWE NEXT WEEK on #WWEMMC! pic.twitter.com/VJMe7CvUzM
