Welcome to the Extreme Rules Review.
Kevin Owens vs Buddy Murphy will start us off.
Owens starts off hot, throwing haymakers. He goes for the Stunner, but Murphy dodges and hits a running knee for a two count.
This match has implications for the Myterio/Rollins fight later tonight. Owens hits a nasty looking DDT on a jumping Murphy.
Murphy gets some momentum back with a diving knee from the top rope. A series of high impact moves from Murphy has Owens reeling.
Owens does a jump into a moonsault from the top rope. Murphy tries another Metora, but Owens dodges into a superkick followed by the Stunner for the win.
New Day vs. Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship in a table match.
No tags in this one. Big E is easily the most powerful of all three men, but Cesaro is a close second. Kofi slams both Nakamura and Cesaro into tables.
Kofi tries to jump over the top rope, but Ceasro and Nakamura are waiting with a table. Big E tries a spear, but is hit by two kicks. More tables are brought out.
A rare misstep by Kofi leaves Big E fighting off both men. A swing into a diving kick. Kofi gets back in and takes down both men. Cesaro stops a hurricanrana and powerbombs Kofi through two tables. New Tag Champions!
Nikki Cross vs. Bayley for the Smackdown Championship is next.
Supriseingely, Bayley seems to be overpowering Nikki early on. Nikki hits a slap and a neck breaker out of nowehere. Ms Cross is fired up and hits three cross bodies.
Bayley takes control, but she misplaces Nikki under the ring and gets caught in the ring apron. Nikki applies a cross face, but Bayley reverse into a Bayley to Belly for a close two.
Nikki keeps hitting big moves, but Bayley is not staying down. Nikki hits a neckbreaker on the floor. Banks distracts the refree and Bayley is slipped the BOSS ring and nails Nikki for the pin.
It seems that Apollo Crews did not make his pre fight physical. MVP claims that he is now the Champ through forfeit.
Hope Crews feels better.
Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio in a Eye for Eye Match. Both men come out alone. Rollins has brought pliers. It is joined by a piece of rebar and a kendo stick.
This is a street fight. Rollins catches Rey , holds him vertical and then slams him on the ring apron. He tries to reenact taking Rey’s eye in to the steps, but Rey fights out of it.
Tabels, chairs, everything is being used. Both men’s moves have a little extra bite to them. Seth tries to tie Rey to the ropes, but Rey gets out. Seth rewards him with kendo shots.
After two brutal shots by Rey, he breaks the kendo stick and uses the pieces to go after the eye. Seth escapes, but Rey hits a stomp. He tries to use the stairs, but Rollins low blows him and then hits his own stomp.
Rollins finally gets Rey’s eye into the stairs and is sick about what he did. Rollins even throws up at ringside. Rey is taken away and Seth looks at the crowd as they bang the glass and boo him.
Askua vs. Sasha Banks for the Raw Championship.
Banks is out to prove she can out wrestle Askua at the start. This comes back to bite her pretty quickly as Askua reverse in an arm bar.
Banks tries a sunset flip through the ropes, but Askua stops her and jumps on her head. Banks recovers and starts a little joint manipulation on Askua’s hands.
Banks is getting angry, like Askua is disrespecting her. She’s trying a few submission moves. Askua gets back in control and Banks suffers some very bad moves
Chaos reigns. Askua has Banks tapping out, but Bayley distracts the referee. Reverse after reverse leads to the referee getting hit with the green mist! Bayley hits Askua with the belt, takes the referee’s shirt and counts the pinfall! Banks is the new champion, maybe?
Dolph Ziggler vs Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship is next. Ziggler revels that he gets to have no rules, but Drew has to abide by normal rules. Ziggler also says that if Drew is disqualified or counted out, he loses the title.
I will admit, I have never seen this type of match before. Drew is more powerful, but Ziggler keeps placing him in sistuations to get him DQ.
Ever time Drew gets some steam going, Ziggler uses the no DQ stipulation. Low blows and chairs are used. Ziggler hits a Fammasser from the table.
Drew gets back in control with a reverse Alabama Slam. He tries a Claymore, but Ziggler hits hisleg with a chair. Ziggler hits a elbow from the top rope that puts Drew through a table.
A rock bottom on a chair from Ziggler still won’t put down Drew. Dolph tries a running kick, but Drew meets him with a Claymore for the pin. Very interesting match.

Fighting more members., Braun is confronted by Alexia Bliss who speaks about his desire for her. Bray appears and tries to drown Braun
