Raw Results

Raw opens with Bray Wyatt cutting a promo calling out all the other opponents in his Extreme Rules match. Roman Reigns comes out and says if he has something to say that he better say it to his face. Kurt Angle comes out and makes a match now.

Roman Reigns defeats Bray Wyatt by DQ when Samoa Joe comes down and chokes out Roman. Joe teased who he was going to attack first. Roman broke out of the choke and Bray then laid out Roman. Joe then choked out Bray until Seth Rollins came down to fight Joe. Seth and Roman stood tall.

Roman was arguing with Rollins about coming to the ring and saving him, Rollins said he came for Joe only. Kurt Angle interrupts them and makes a tag team match between Rollins & Reigns vs. Bray & Joe. The Drifter walks by playing his guitar and Kurt finally books him in a match, against Dean Ambrose.

Akira Tozawa defeats Ariya Daivari. During the match they kept cutting to Brian Kendrick watching a TV and being interviewed by the commentary team. It was bad and dumb.

Sasha Banks was interviewed backstage about her and Alicia Fox trading wins. Sasha trash talks Noam Dar and Alicia being a weird couple. Dar and Foooooxxxxxx say she's just jealous because she doesn't have anyone. (Revival were supposedly spotted walking backstage as a teaser for a later segment.)

The Drifter Elias Sampson defeats Dean Ambrose by DQ when Miz attacks the Drifter to cause Ambrose to lose. Drifter sang a song before the match. Dean attacked Miz after the match but Drifter laid out Ambrose, then stared down Miz.

Big Cass found Enzo Amore unconscious backstage. Medics were checking him out but he was knocked loopy and had to get help to walk away. Angle promises to find who did that to Enzo. Cass says that if Kurt doesn't find them first then Cass will.

Finn Balor came to the ring to cut a promo but Paul Heyman interrupted him. Heyman praised Balor while dressing down all the other challengers. Heyman believes Balor will win and is actually anticipating Balor vs. Lesnar as a big money making match. Balor says he feels the same, but is disappointed that Brock Lesnar isn't there. He tells Heyman to send the message that he's going to win the Fatal Five Way, then beat Brock to get back the Universal Title he never lost.

Finn Balor defeated Karl Anderson.

Sasha Banks defeated Alicia Fox. After the match Dar got in Sasha's face and got slapped for it. Alicia then laid out Sasha in revenge.

Apollo Crews and Kalisto are talking backstage about Apollo working for the Titus Brand. Kalisto says he's just doing Titus' dirty work then asks if Crews jumped Enzo. Crews said that's not how he works and him and Kalisto have been friends for years so he should know that. Titus O'Neil walks by with a fidget spinner and asks if Kalisto is wanting to join Titus Brand International. Kalisto says no and Titus books Apollo vs. Kalisto.

Goldust has a 24K Production segment wearing classic facepaint and sitting in a director's chair. He says gold never fades, but R-Truth's time in the spotlight is. Someone tries to hand him a script but he throws it down and says he's in the director's chair again and he decides how this one last film ends. The Golden Era has returned.

Alexa Bliss is interviewed backstage about hitting Bayley with the kendo stick. She says it felt good to get that frustration out on Bayley and mocks the idea of Bayley doing anything extreme as she is too nice. Alexa says she'll do what she did to Bayley to Mickie James tonight.

Kalisto defeats Apollo Crews. Crews was distracted by Titus barking orders at him from ringside.

Matt Hardy defeated Sheamus to determine the gimmick of the tag title match at Extreme Rules. Matt Hardy picks a cage match for some reason.

Austin Aries defeats Tony Nese by submission as Neville watched by ringside. It was announced on commentary that Neville vs. Aries at Extreme Rules is a submission match. Neville attacks Tony Nese after the match and puts him in the Rings of Saturn. Aries doesn't give a poo poo.

Alexa Bliss defeats Mickie James. After the match she hits Mickie with a kendo stick and Bayley comes out for the save. Bayley gets the kendo stick away from Alexa and Alexa runs scared.

Samoa Joe and Bray Wyatt defeat Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. After the match Finn Balor walks up to Angle watching the match backstage. Finn asks to not be left out of the fun. Angle agrees and makes Finn vs. Joe vs. Wyatt and Seth vs. Roman for next week to end Raw.

Smackdown Results
  • The show opened with a video package of Jinder Mahal becoming the new WWE Champion. Jinder arrived to the arena in a limo with a large police escort, the Singh Brothers were in the lead car and laid out a carpet for Jinder to step onto while the crowd chanted USA.

  • Shane McMahon came to the ring, a blue briefcase was hanging above to mark the next Smackdown PPV - Money in the Bank. Orton will have his title rematch at MitB. The competitors in the Money in the Bank ladder match will be AJ Styles, Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler. Kevin Owens came out as well but he was not the 5th man, Shane cut off his music and called out Shinsuke Nakamura to a large pop and the crowd singing along to his music.

  • Owens cut off Shane to argue that Nakamura and Sami Zayn deserved to be in the ladder match but both Corbin and AJ had lost (AJ to Owens!). Owens mocked the idea of Smackdown as the "land of opportunity" and reminded Shane that he beat AJ at Backlash when Shane couldn't do it at Wrestlemania. Shane agreed he had a point and made him the sixth man, and Corbin snapped that Owens would regret being put into the match and Shane should just lower the briefcase and give it to him. AJ reminded everybody that Smackdown was the house he built and he wasn't afraid to beat any of them, including a smirking Nakamura. Everybody jawjacked and got in each other's faces, with Nakamura finishing with a statement that they could call him Mr. Money in the Bank. Shane booked everybody in a series of matches against other tonight.

  • Becky and Charlotte defeated Carmella and Nattie when Becky forced Carmella to tap. Ellsworth tried to distract Becky but Naomi took him out.

  • Sami defeated Corbin in less than a minute in their Backlash rematch. Corbin lost his goddamn mind and beat the utter poo poo out of Sami.

  • AJ talked to Shinsuke backstage about their tag team match against Owens and Ziggler in the main event. He brought up their shared history in Japan and welcomed him to Smackdown. Shinsuke acknowledged they'd be partners tonight, but rivals at Money in the Bank, and he was going to turn AJ's house into his playground.

  • A very confused Shane McMahon found himself in a Fashion Files skit, where Breeze and Fandango assumed he was the Police Commissioner and wanted them to hand in their badges and "guns" ("You guys have guns? :ohdear:" asked Shane). Shane calmed them down, talked them up and booked them in singles matches against the Usos. Both were extremely excited to be back on the case.

  • Jinder Mahal held a massive and lavish celebration including dancers, music, drums. As the music finally ended Jinder displayed shock that the crowd was booing him and called for his surrounding dancers to cheer and clap louder. He cut a "you people" promo and started speaking in Punjabi, so the crowd booed and chanted USA! Jinder got giant pyro.

  • Tyler Breeze defeated Jay Uso in a few seconds after Fandango distracted Jay with a water gun after Jay had gotten on the mic to mock them for losing at Backlash. Fandango then beat Jimmy Uso in a couple of minutes after Tyler Breeze distracted him while wearing a wig. The Fashion Police got on the mics afterwards, mocked how upset they were and asked for a rematch for the tag titles since the belts would look better on them. The Usos agreed and actually asked for the match immediately, and the ref got the okay from the back.

  • The Usos retained the tag titles when Fandango missed a blind tag and got hit with a splash after hitting his leg drop. A little kid in the crowd was devastated :(

  • Nattie interrupted Shane on the phone to remind him he told her all she needed to do was ask for her shot at the Women's Championship, and she was asking. Carmella (with Ellsworth) and then Becky showed up saying they deserved the shot, then Tamina reminded them they'd all had a shot and failed so now it was her turn. Ellsworth told Tamina she was trapped in the friend zone, Charlotte showed up to demand a shot too and Shane said there would be a Fatal Fiveway next week to pick the number one contender for Naomi's title.

  • Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler in the main event tag match. Shinsuke and AJ both had lengthy sections of getting their asses kicked, with AJ getting the first hot tag and then Shinsuke getting one to wrap up the match with a Kinshasa on Kevin Owens.

Backlash didn't sell out. Was on its way until matches were announced and ticket sales died almost immediately.

No SD PPV since the brand split has sold out and this very likely did the worst

I thought that was a little overblown till I learned that they'd sold 9500 before the card was announced and after the card was announced they only ended up selling like 300 more tickets :stare:

It was a few hundred away from a sell out, it definitely didn't do the worst. There was one in the fall that drew house show like numbers.

I am so sick of that loving word. It's worse than THE BIG DOG.

Also that Balor segment was loving bizarre unless they're actually doing Balor/Lesnar, and if they are then I dunno what they'll do with Roman. I'm guessing Braun's injury made them shuffle things around.
