John Cena, Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry gained valuable WrestleMania 31 momentum by winning a star-studded showdown on Smackdown.

The Cenation Leader, The Juggernaut, The Submission Specialist and The World’s Strongest Man conquered Seth Rollins, Kane, Big Show and Bray Wyatt on the blue brand, with Bryan’s Running Knee on The World’s Largest Athlete securing the win.

Cena, Reigns and Bryan can now turn their attentions to the Show of Shows on Sunday night, where they will be trying to pinch the United States, WWE World Heavyweight and Intercontinental Titles respectively.

Henry, meanwhile, will be part of the second annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on WrestleMania Kick-Off, where some of his rivals will include Kane, Big Show, Goldust, Jack Swagger, Ryback and NXT Superstar Hideo Itami.

Rollins and Wyatt, however, will be focussed on downing two icons of wrestling, with the former locking horns with ally-turned-enemy Randy Orton and the latter scrapping with The Undertaker.

Elsewhere on Smackdown, Jimmy Uso beat Big E, Fernando and Cesaro in a Fatal Four-Way, while WrestleMania partners AJ Lee and Paige called an uneasy truce before bickering with their Sunday-evening opponents The Bella Twins.
