- WWE cameras caught up with Rey and Dominik Mysterio after Dominik's victory on SmackDown against King Corbin. After Friday's win, and eliminating Corbin from the Royal Rumble, Dominik was asked if he has Corbin's number.

"I think at this point we're two and two," Dominik responded. "He picked up two wins over me the past two weeks on SmackDown. I eliminated him at the rumble and picked up the victory on him today, so that makes us two and two. As far as I see it, we're even."
