Nerves apparent at Alamodome as Superstars prepared to wrestle...

WWE's camera crew captured a host of tense wrestlers arriving at the arena in San Antonio and warming up for their matches, including Charlotte Flair, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and Rumble winner Randy Orton.

John Cena - who went on to beat AJ Styles and match Ric Flair's record of 16 world championships - also looked anxious.
