    It Happens To Everyone. Big WWE Name Reportedly Working Hurt.

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 09:05 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/happens-everyone-big-wwe-name-reportedly-working-hurt/


    Hopefully it isn’t too bad. Wrestling is a rather unique sport but there
    is one major similarity to all others: the athletes can get hurt. It can
    be out of nowhere or it can be built up over time, but it can happen to
    anyone. Just because someone is hurt though, it doesn’t mean that they are going to miss time. That seems to be the case with one of the bigger WWE
    stars at the moment.

    According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Braun Strowman is currently working
    hurt with an undisclosed injury. While the specifics of the injury are not known, the injury is said to be taking away Strowman’s speed, which could mean a knee or leg injury of some sort. Strowman does not have a match scheduled for Extreme Rules but he does have a falls count anywhere match against Bobby Lashley scheduled for next week’s Monday Night Raw.

    Maybe he hurt it flipping cars. Check out Strowman attacking Vince
    McMahon’s limousine earlier this year:

    Opinion: Can Strowman ever get a break? If he’s not hurt then he’s being beaten for whatever reason or never winning the big match. The guy was the hottest thing in the company a little over a year ago and now he’s having a tug of war on Monday Night Raw and stuck in a feud over who is stronger.
    The guy could have been World Champion about a year ago but this is what we
    get instead. Go figure.

    What do you think of Strowman? Will he ever be World Champion? Let us
    know in the comments below.

    It Could Be Worse. Update On Cody After Gruesome Injury At Fyter Fest.

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 09:00 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/worse-update-cody-gruesome-injury-fyter-fest/


    That could have been worse. There are several ways to work a wrestling
    match (or angle) and more than one of them can be very wrong. That would include a style that is wreckless and/or dangerous, which rarely does
    anyone any good and can cause an injury. It was the style that was on
    display in an angle at a major event recently, and now it seems that it had quite the negative effect on someone.

    At AEW’s Fyter Fest on Saturday night, Shawn Spears hit Cody with an unprotected chair shot to the head. Cody was busted open badly from the
    back of his head and had to be helped out of the arena. AEW has since
    posted an update on Cody, saying that he received twelve staples to close
    the wound but did not suffer a concussion. There is no word on if he will
    be cleared for his upcoming match at Fight For The Fallen in July.

    12 staples and no concussion #AEW #FyterFest pic.twitter.com/zbYLl1jPF3

    - All Elite Wrestling (@AEWrestling) June 30, 2019



    Cody had a heck of a match before the attack. Check out the hype video for
    his match with Darby Allin:
    [This post contains video, click to play]


    Opinion: That’s quite the relief but it’s also something that never should have happened. I see no need to ever have someone get hit in the head like that, no matter what kind of an angle that it is. That was something that
    was much more accepted before we knew what kind of effects it can cause.
    Cody is lucky that he wasn’t hurt worse, but it’s nothing I need to ever see again given the risk of short or long term injury.

    What did you think of Cody vs. Allin? Will Cody vs. Spears be good? Let
    us know in the comments below.

    Fyter Fest Live Coverage And Results

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 05:31 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/fyter-fest-live-coverage-results/


    Fyter Fest

    Date: June 29, 2019

    Location: Ocean Center, Daytona Beach, Florida

    Commentators: Excalibur, Goldenboy, Jim Ross

    We’re back for round two and things are already being shaken up a bit. This isn’t going to be anything like Double Or Nothing as this is taking place
    at a gaming festival. That’s going to mean a change in the way the audience reacts but at the moment, getting AEW wrestlers in the ring and in front of people is what matters most. Let’s get to it.
    Pre-Show: Best Friends vs. So Cal Uncensored vs. Private Party

    The winners get into a match for a bye in the Tag Team Title tournament and it’s Kazarian/Sky for SCU. Trent shoulders Isaiah down to start and Chuck does the same. It’s off to Sky vs. Quinn with the former hitting a rather spinning backbreaker. Trent comes in again and gets double teamed by SCU
    but Quinn springboards in with a crossbody to Trent and Sky. That means
    some house cleaning and dancing, followed by a heck of a tornado DDT onto Chuck.

    A big flip dive has the ring cleared as Private Party gets quite the
    showcase moment. SCU pulls Isaiah to the floor to take over and it’s the
    Best Friends taking over, including the hug (with the fans going nuts
    again). Trent’s northern lights suplex gets two on Cassidy and Chuck adds Soul Food. A spinning kick to the face drops Trent but since Quinn is down, Cassidy has to dive over and bring in Kazarian instead.

    Everything breaks down and Trent gets run over, setting up a gorgeous
    shooting star press to give Quinn two. Chuck is back up with the short piledriver to Quinn, setting up Trent’s sliding knee for two more. Quinn
    gets put on top for a belly to back superplex but manages to land on his
    feet, setting up a super hurricanrana to send Trent into a cutter from
    Cassidy. Quinn hits a big dive over the top onto Sky, leaving Trent to hit
    a knee to Cassidy’s face. Strong Zero gives the Friends the pin at 15:57.

    Result: Best Friends b. Private Party and So Cal Uncensored Strong Zero to Cassidy (15:57)

    Post match the Dark Order (the former Super Smash Bros) appear on screen to
    say the Best Friends will be their first. A snap of their fingers makes the lights go out. Back up and the minions are around three sides of the ring. Excalibur: “They are completely surrounded!” The lights go out again and the minions disappear.
    Leva Bates vs. Allie

    Bates (formerly known as Blue Pants) is one of the Librarians and gets into
    a long shush-off with Peter Avalon (the other Librarian). She also rips on
    the fans for not reading enough but the fans shout that they can’t read.

    Allie takes over to start and knocks Leva outside but Avalon trips Allie
    up. Back in and a fisherman’s buster gives Bates two, followed by a
    northern lights one for the same. The fans actually start a HOOKED ON
    PHONICS chant as Bates grabs the Rings of Saturn, complete with a shush as Allie is in trouble. That’s broken up but Allie gets dropkicked into the corner, setting up some slingshot knees to the chest.

    Now it’s a READING RAINBOW chant as Allie makes her comeback with a neckbreaker and a sliding forearm in the corner. Bates gets in a
    Backstabber out of the corner and a Pedigree (with the camera missing the impact) gets two. Avalon tries to throw Bates a book but Allie intercepts
    it and hits the BSE for the pin at 8:50.

    Result: Allie b. Leva Bates BSE (8:50)
    Alex Jebailey vs. Michael Nakazawa

    Jebailey is the CEO of the gaming convention and not a wrestler. Therefore, this is a hardcore match. Before we get going, Nakazawa talks about an unspecified issue the two of them had last year and tricks Jebailey into telling him about a previous leg injury. Jebailey manages a hiptoss and
    grabs a waistlock so Nakazawa busts out the baby oil to escape. That makes Jebailey and the referee slip before they head outside, with Jebailey
    whipping Nakazawa into the barricade.

    Back in and a gaming console to the back gives Jebailey two and it’s time
    to go up to the set. Nakazawa gets choked in a kiddie pool (part of the
    jokes about Fyre Fest and the “luxurious” accommodations being bad) but comes back with a pool float to the head. They go back to ringside where Nakazawa chokes with a GameCube controller and spears him off the apron
    through a table. Nakazaway lets him up at two and pulls out a thong, but Jebailey ties his arm into it.

    Jebailey comes back with a German suplex that drops Nakazawa on top of his head. And now, a bag of…..some kind of button toys that I’m not familiar with is poured out on the mat. Nakazawa’s powerbomb is countered into a backdrop onto them but Nakazawa shoves the thong into the referee’s face. There’s no count for Jebailey’s Majistral cradle so it’s another thong shot
    to the face to give Nakazawa the rollup pin at 8:50.

    Result: Michael Nakazawa b. Alex Jebailey Rollup (8:50)

    Jon Moxley tells us to stay tuned because he’s going to show us who he is.

    The opening video looks at how Double or Nothing started an empire and
    tonight it’s time to raise the game. Tonight it’s time to show us why AEW is here to stay.

    The announcers run down part of the card.
    Christopher Daniels vs. Cima

    The announcers give us a bio on Daniels, because of all the people on this show, they think Daniels needs an explanation. Feeling out process to start until Daniels is sent outside for a baseball slide. Back in and a reverse
    Rings of Saturn has Daniels in trouble until a foot reaches the rope (with
    JR explaining why that is a break). A tilt-a-whirl backbreaker is broken up
    and Cima is sent outside with his back going into the barricade.

    Back in and a running STO gets two and the Arabian moonsault sets up a Crossface. Daniels gets driven into the corner though and Cima hits a
    rolling palm strike. The Iconoclasm gets two but Daniels is right back with
    a Blue Thunder Bomb for two. Angel’s Wings gets two but Cima kicks him in
    the head. A Liger Bomb sets up something like a fisherman’s driver for two more and Cima can’t believe the kickout. White Noise sets up a top rope Meteora to finish Daniels at 9:43.

    Result: Cima b. Christopher Daniels Top rope Meteora (9:43)
    Yuka Sakazaki vs. Riho vs. Nyla Rose

    Rose offers to shake hands to start but then jumps both of them, turning it into a handicap match early on. A double cover is escaped by a double
    bridge but Rose slams them both to set up a double camel clutch. That’s broken up and Sakazaki knocks them to the floor for a big dive (nearly
    losing her balance on the way up).

    Back in and Sakazaki and Riho strike it out with Riho getting the better of things. Rose is back up so Riho knocks her into the ropes for a 619. Riho’s top rope double stomp keeps Rose down and a jumping version has Sakazaki
    down. Rose breaks up the cover and chokeslams Sakazaki for two. A suplex
    sends Sakazaki to the floor and Riho gets draped over the top.

    Rose jumps to the top for a jumping knee to the head but misses a Swanton.
    Back up and Rose catches Riho’s high crossbody….and then catches Sakazaki at the same time for a VERY cool visual. Riho tries a top rope splash but
    hits knees, allowing Rose to fold her up with a German suplex. With
    Sakazaki down, Rose hits a Death Valley Driver for a delayed two on Riho.
    Rose loads up a powerbomb but gets rolled up to give Riho the surprise pin
    at 13:05.

    Result: Riho b. Yuka Sakazaki and Nyla Rose Rollup to Rose (13:05)
    Maxwell Jacob Friedman vs. Jungle Boy vs. Adam Page vs. Jimmy Havoc

    Kip Sabian is on commentary and gets the winner of this, presumably at
    Fight For The Fallen. Before the match, Friedman grabs the mic to make fun
    of the crowd for being nerds who got shoved into lockers a lot. Friedman: “That mother of yours, whose basement you live in? She swallows.” Friedman used to love video games….and then he lost his virginity. Jungle Boy is carried to the ring on Luchasaurus’ shoulders, with the announcers dubbing them A Boy and His Dinosaur and the Jurassic Friends. Friedman and Page
    feel like they’re on a different planet here and that’s both a good and bad sign.

    Havoc and Friedman head outside, leaving Page to kick Jungle Boy in the
    face. Jungle Boy snaps off a running hurricanrana but gets caught in
    Havoc’s Michinoku Driver. Friedman comes in to steal a rollup two but bails when Page is back up. A slingshot dive takes Friedman down, followed by Havoc’s running flip dive from the apron. Friedman teases a dive of his own but stops to make a rather rude gesture to the fans.

    With everyone on the floor, Jungle Boy hits a very quick moonsault to take
    all three out. Back in and Jungle Boy powerbombs Friedman for two as
    everyone gets in again. The Tower of Doom sends Jungle Boy flying into
    Friedman Havoc’s Acid Rainmaker is broken up so Page hits a pop up
    powerbomb on Jungle Boy. Friedman and Page slug it out with Friedman taking
    out Page’s bad knee. A Sharpshooter (with a Bret Hart pose) is broken up
    and Page puts on his own version.

    That’s broken up as well and Friedman hits a hanging piledriver for two. Jungle Boy makes the save but Havoc throws him onto Luchasaurus. Another hanging piledriver is broken up and Havoc gets two off a double stomp. The
    Acid Rainmaker is blocked with a poke to the eye and Page adds the Buckshot lariat to drop Havoc. Deadeye finishes Havoc at 9:52.

    Result: Hangman Page b. Jimmy Havoc, Jungle Boy and Maxwell Jacob Friedman Deadeye to Havoc (9:52)

    We look at Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes from Double Or Nothing and the great post match promo that set up their tag match against the Young Bucks. Darby
    Allin respects Cody but promises to give him his first loss.
    Cody vs. Darby Allin

    Allin is a tortured soul who lost faith in humanity after his uncle was
    killed in a car wreck when he was five with Allin in the car. He even
    brings in a body bag with Cody 1-1 painted on it. Allin works on a
    hammerlock to start and backflips up off the escape. Cody grabs a headlock
    so Allin walks the ropes for a high angle armdrag to send Cody outside.
    Back in and Cody sends Allin hard into the corner for a nasty crash to the floor, leaving Cody to do the slow motion pushups.

    Back in and Cody starts stomping away before sending Allin outside again.
    Allin grabs the arm to send it into the post but Cody is right back in
    control as Allin comes in again. Cody goes with a double underhook to keep Allin down before a release suplex drops Allin again. Another suplex is
    loaded up but Allin grabs the bad arm as he’s upside down for the escape.

    A Fujiwara armbar stays on Cody’s arm so Cody gets outside, meaning it’s a fast suicide dive from Allin. Cody slams him onto the steps and adds his
    own suicide dive for good measure. Back in and Allin gets two off a Code
    Red before heading up, only to get pulled down with a reverse superplex.
    They head to the apron with Allin biting the hand to take Cody down.

    Allin heads up top and tries the Coffin Drop (jumping straight backwards), landing square on the apron as Cody moves away. Back in and Cody puts him
    in the body bag and hits the Disaster Kick for two. The bag comes off and
    we have a minute left. Cody whips him with the weightlifting belt but Cross Rhodes is broken up. The second attempt connects for two but time runs out
    at 20:00.

    Result: Cody vs. Darby Allin went to a time limit draw (20:00)

    Post match Cody and Brandi want five more minutes but here’s Shawn Spears with a gruesome, no hands chair shot to Cody, who is busted open badly. Wrestlers, including Friedman, come out to chase Spears off.
    Lucha Bros/Laredo Kid vs. Young Bucks/Kenny Omega

    The Bucks are in Street Fighter gear and Omega lays out a man who runs up
    onto the stage for their entrance. Ring announcer Justin Roberts gets in a ROUND ONE FIGHT and it’s Nick working on a wristlock to Kid to start. The flips begin and both miss dropkicks to give us a standoff. Kid hits a springboard high crossbody for no cover as Nick gets up and spits in his
    face.

    All six get in for a big standoff and it’s a trio of superkicks to send
    Kenny and the Bucks to the floor. An Asai moonsault and stereo running flip dives take them out again and the non-luchadors are in trouble. Back in and stereo superkicks to Nick set up a reverse hurricanrana from Kid. We settle down to Matt rolling northern lights suplexes on all three of them,
    including both Pentagon and Fenix at the same time.

    Omega comes in to a big reaction and hits a backbreaker on Kid. The
    Terminator dive is loaded up but Pentagon cuts it off with CERO MIEDO. They slug it out with Omega hitting (or coming close to it) a sliding dropkick
    into the leg, followed by the running Fameasser. Matt comes back in for a German suplex on Kid and the series of top rope dives crush him for two. A spear accidentally hits Nick though and it’s off to Pentagon to pick up the pace.

    That means a Backstabber to Omega to send him outside, followed by a
    running hurricanrana. Another spear allows the tag to Omega and it’s the snapdragon on Pentagon. Matt gets sent outside so Pentagon backdrops Fenix
    over the top and onto him for a huge crash. A super Spanish Fly plants
    Omega but Nick makes the save, only to take a running Canadian Destroyer
    from Pentagon. The Superkick Party is on but the luchadors hit superkicks
    of their own.

    Not to be outdone, Omega and the Bucks hit Hadoukens, followed by a triple Liger Bomb for two each. The Bucks start their usual series but Pentagon
    hits a Sling Blade to take Nick down on the floor. Omega nails Kid with the
    V Trigger but Fenix cuts him off with a cutter. Matt gives Fenix a cutter
    of his own and that means a Meltzer Driver on the floor. Since that would
    kill him though, Fenix dives in to make a save, leaving Omega to hit the
    Tiger Driver 98 for two on Kid. Another running knee sets up the One Winged Angel to finish Kid at 20:30.

    Result: Kenny Omega/Young Bucks b. Laredo Kid/Lucha Bros One Winged Angel
    to Kid (20:30)
    Jon Moxley vs. Joey Janela

    Anything goes and unsanctioned. They’re on the floor in a hurry and brawl into the crowd for a bit. Back to ringside and Janela posts him before
    going for the first table. Moxley comes back and grabs a chair, with Janela being slammed onto it. Since long term selling isn’t going to be a thing in this match, Janela is right back up and puts Moxley (with a bloody eyebrow)
    in the chair for a high crossbody. Moxley gets sent outside and finds a
    chair wrapped in barbed wire.

    The chair is driven into Janela’s chest so the fans dub Moxley “YOU SICK F***!” Moxley takes a bow, which takes a little too long as Janela hurricanranas him onto the barbed wire. A chair shot to the back gets two
    on Moxley and another table is brought in. Janela doesn’t like that one though so it’s a Russian legsweep off the apron through the table at ringside. Back in and Moxley drives him through a table in the corner for
    no cover. Instead he loads up two more tables on the floor but Janela flips
    him off.

    Moxley beats him up some more and it’s time for a barbed wire board. Janela is back with a running AA through the barbed wire though the table and
    let’s get a ladder. With Moxley on the table on the floor, Janela climbs
    the ladder in the ring and drops the big elbow. And now, it’s another
    barbed wire board (Goldenboy: “He’s got one too?”), with this one being bridged between the ring and the barricade.

    That takes too long though and Moxley grabs a DDT, followed by an AA
    through the barbed wire board. It’s time for the thumbtacks but Moxley
    takes off Janela’s boots and socks. Janela saves himself so Moxley hits a release suplex onto the tacks instead. That’s not enough though and Moxley sends him feet first into the tacks to draw some screaming. Janela flips
    him off again so Moxley pulls out more tacks for the Paradigm Shift (Dirty Deeds) onto said tacks for the pin at 20:00.

    Result: Jon Moxley b. Joey Janela Paradigm Shift (20:00)

    Post match Omega runs out with a V Trigger to Moxley, who is laid on the
    pieces of table. A springboard double stomp crushes Moxley and Omega takes
    him up to the set. Omega uses some of the equipment for the band that never showed up, including a guitar shot to the back. Moxley isn’t going to be helped out so Omega runs back out with a trashcan to take Moxley out again.
    A Paradigm Shift to the trashcan leaves Moxley laying, but he smiles at
    Omega to end the show.

    Ring Of Honor TV Results - June 26, 2019

    Posted: 29 Jun 2019 10:27 AM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/ring-honor-tv-results-june-26-2019/


    Ring of Honor

    Date: June 26, 2019

    Location: ShoWare Center, Kent, Washington

    Commentator: Ian Riccaboni

    It’s the go home show for Best in the World and that means very little
    around here. Ring of Honor has always been terrible about setting things up
    for a pay per view because their taping cycle is screwy beyond belief. I’m not sure what to expect here, but at least we should get some hype for the show. Let’s get to it.

    We open with a recap of Kenny King winning the Honor Rumble and then
    tormenting Jay Lethal on his way to a World Title shot. Tonight is match #2
    in their best of three series.

    Opening sequence.
    NWA National Title: Mark Briscoe vs. Colt Cabana

    Colt is defending. Feeling out process to start with Colt getting the
    better of a wristlock. That’s switched into a chinlock and then a bodyscissors as Mark can’t get anything going early on.Colt even lays on
    his back and offers Mark the leg but Mark is smart enough to forearm away
    in the corner.

    A shove puts Cabana on the floor and we take a break. Back with Mark
    ripping at Colt’s face as Ian talks about how close he is with Cabana. A
    big boot sends Cabana outside again for the Bang Bang elbow from the apron. Mark goes for a chair but the referee takes it away, allowing Colt to hit
    him in the face with a beer.

    Back in and a high crossbody into a springboard moonsault gets two on Mark.
    The Apple (Rear View) gets two on Mark and Colt sends him outside again. That’s fine with Mark, who peels back the mat but can’t suplex him outside. Instead it’s a series of rollups for two each from Colt and a German suplex makes things even worse.

    We take another break and come back with nothing seeming to have changed
    before Colt starts hammering away. A Rock Bottom suplex gives Mark two but
    Colt makes the comeback for the strike off. Mark gets the better of things
    but can’t hit the Froggy Bow. Instead Cabana knocks him off the ropes and hits his Superman Pin rollup to retain at 16:25.

    Result: Colt Cabana b. Mark Briscoe Superman pin (16:25)

    Post match Jay Briscoe comes in and helps with a beatdown, including a belt shot to the face.

    Shane Taylor talks about revenge and promises to shatter Jay Lethal’s TV Title reigns.

    The Allure is ready for their in-ring debut at their namesake show: Best in
    the World.

    We look at Flip Gordon winning a four way match and challenging Rush for
    Best in the World.

    Here’s Silas Young in a boxer’s robe for a chat. Over the last few weeks, the fans have had the chance to see the Technician Of Honor display his
    skills and that is what they’ll get to see when he beats Jon (yes Jon) Gresham. For tonight though, it’s time for another exhibition.
    Silas Young vs. El Hijo De Squid Jr.

    And yeah it’s the same guy as Squid from a few weeks ago. Squid poses as
    Ian thinks Squid might be on the take. An atomic drop staggers Silas, who
    comes back with a hard clothesline. The abdominal stretch finishes Squid at 1:15.

    Result: Silas Young b. El Hijo De Squid Jr. Abdominal stretch (1:15)

    Lifeblood welcomes PJ Black to the team.
    Jay Lethal vs. Kenny King

    Match #2 of the best of three series with King up 1-0. King brings out a
    broom because it’s time for the sweep. They actually shake hands to start before Jay works on the arm. That’s switched into a headlock takeover to
    keep King down but he reverses into a headscissors as the technical start continues.

    We take a very early break and come back with Lethal chasing him inside and getting stomped down. Lethal kicks the leg and goes for the Figure Four but gets rolled up for two instead. A kick to the face sends Lethal outside and that means a big running slingshot corkscrew dive. Back in and a
    springboard spinning legdrop gets two, followed by the seated abdominal stretch.

    With that not working, King sends him outside for an attempted countout.
    That doesn’t work either so we take another break. Back again with Lethal Hulking Up and hitting the Lethal Combination. Now the Figure Four goes on
    but King has the rope in less than two seconds. Instead Lethal sends him outside for three straight suicide dives. King teases walking out but uses
    the distraction for a cheap shot with the microphone for the DQ at 17:53.

    Result: Jay Lethal b. Kenny King via DQ when King used the microphone
    (17:53)

    Post match the beatdown is on with Lethal being sent into the barricade and pummeled back inside. A low blow sets up the Lethal Injection on Jay. King
    even Pillmanizes the arm as we’re told that the third match will indeed be
    at Best in the World. King asks if Jay feels like a winner and stomps on
    the arm again.

    Matt Taven says it’s about time that the show has a real star. He’s been listening to Jeff Cobb’s accomplishments for two weeks now but no one has been talking about his accomplishments. Taven deserves the gold and to be
    World Champion. At Best in the World, he will reign over Ring of Honor.

    Main Event

    Date: June 27, 2019

    Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California

    Commentators: Renee Young, Byron Saxton

    The show hits the big city and I’m not sure what is going to happen here. It’s rare that anything of note happens here and for some reason, I have a pretty strong feeling that it is going to be exactly the same thing here.
    If nothing else, getting to see the, ahem, highlights, could be rather hard
    to go through. Let’s get to it.

    Opening sequence.
    Dana Brooke vs. Sarah Logan

    Rematch from last week when Dana’s head exploded. Brooke ducks a swinging elbow to start but gets knocked down for an early two. Sarah throws her
    outside for a bit before grabbing the chinlock back inside. That’s broken
    up with some elbows to the ribs and a rollup gives Dana two. Sarah does a rather loud howl but misses some running knees in the corner. The comeback
    is cut off in a hurry though as Brooke forearms her in the face and loads
    up the knee to the post from last week. That’s broken up though and Brooke hits a Swanton for the pin at 6:09.

    Result: Dana Brooke b. Sarah Logan Swanton (6:09)

    Recap of the Universal Title match at Stomping Grounds with Lacey Evans
    serving as guest referee.

    From Raw.

    Here’s Seth Rollins to get things going. Rollins says last night, Baron Corbin thought he was going to take the title from him, but here’s Becky Lynch to interrupt. Seth: “Hey, you kind of interrupted me.” Rollins talks about how Corbin tried to stack the deck but he didn’t know that Rollins
    had the best backup on the planet. Becky: “I guess it pays to be the Man’s man.” Lynch recaps the evening between herself and Lacey Evans but Corbin’s music interrupts.

    There’s no Corbin though as Evans runs in from behind to jump Becky. Now Corbin comes in and gets taken down with a Sling Blade. The Bexploder sends Lacey outside as well and the villains are left on the floor. Corbin tells
    Seth to go make the Man a sandwich and Lacey threatens to hit them both
    again. Lacey wants a mixed tag for Extreme Rules, which works for Becky,
    but with a condition: after Baron and Lacey lose, neither get to face Seth
    and Becky again. Actually hang on as Baron has an idea: both titles are on
    the line and it’s winners take all.

    This is extreme:

    We look at Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns from Stomping Grounds.

    From Raw again.
    Shane McMahon/Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns

    Shane adds the twist of he and Drew not having to tag. Reigns punches Shane
    in the face and we’re ready to go. A clothesline sends Drew to the floor as Cole again tries to get Big Dog Strong over. Drew pulls Roman outside to
    save Shane and a whip into the corner puts Roman in trouble. The steps to
