Story Progression
Bayley and Nikki faced off to see what the stipulation would be at Extreme Rules. Nikki won and said that the match would be a 2 on 1 handicap with Nikki joining Bliss. There are many different ways this could go. Will Nikki score the pin only to watch Bliss get the gold? Will the team break down? Or will Bayley get some help from someone currently rumored to be coming back?
The Club is not here for your questions. Styles led to Gallows and Anderson to a post match beat down on Ricochet. While you may love Styles and the club, the sight of the three on one makes you think they are a scumbags who will do anything to get a belt in their grasp. Styles is one of the few wrestlers who can play both sides with passion and be able to get the Club back where it needs to be
Surprise
It looks like the drama surrounding Maria and Mike was not a one time thing. The red haired mother to be was on a tear, ordering her husband to get some pregnancy cravings. Maria has the admiration of one Paul Heyman, so look for this story to continue after Extreme Rules.
Final Thought
Not the game changer that was last week, but still a different feel for the show. After Extreme Rules, we will see what happens when Paul Heyman gets a fresh slate to work his magic.
