— The show opened with Dean Ambrose’s Ambrose Asylum. He celebrated his new Intercontinental Championship and announced he would be entering the Royal Rumble match. The Miz and Maryse came out and Miz also announced he would be in the Rumble. Miz offered Ambrose a chance to surrender the Intercontinental title before he took legal action. Ambrose instead gave Miz back his Participation Award. Miz and Ambrose brawled, and Miz ended up being slapped by Maryse by accident. Ambrose then hit Dirty Deeds on Miz and gave the Participation Award to Maryse before leaving.

— Natalya and Nikki Bella were set to have a match, but it never took place.
