• Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch defeated Zelina Vega and Andrade in a Mixed Tag Elimination match. Becky defeated Zelina in a few minutes to eliminate her, which effectively made the rest of the match a singles between Seth and Andrade. Lacey Evans showed up in the crowd and Becky had to be convinced to stay on the apron rather than kill her. Andrade accidentally ran into Becky on the outside after Zelina interfered to attack Rollins, but Seth was still able to win via Curb Stomp. Crowd really enjoyed this.
  
• Postmatch, Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans attacked Seth and Becky from behind. After they left, Paul Heyman came out and got a big pop.
  
• Backstage, Corbin and Evans said since their relationship was strictly professional they had the advantage over Seth and Becky, whose relationship was doomed if they lost their titles at Extreme Rules.
  
• Paul Heyman did a promo informing everybody that nobody knows more about Extreme and Philadelphia than him (Extreme Rules is in Philadelphia) and he was giving a spoiler now: Brock Lesnar WOULD cash in on either Seth or Kofi at the PPV. He said he hadn't been wrong about any of his "spoilers" since Wrestlemania 30 so either he was telling the truth or he was screwing with Seth and Kofi's heads. That's... that's just saying that you're telling the truth unless you're lying.
  
• BRAUN! and Bobby Lashley will have a Last Man Standing match at the PPV.
  
• Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre approached a maintenance guy backstage who agreed he was the best garbage man in the world, and said maybe they would pick him to be Roman Reign's partner tonight (they get to choose Roman's partner, by the way).
  
• The Miz and The Usos defeated Elias and The Revival in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match. Revival got the first pin at 3 minutes when Elias walked out of the match which somehow distracted Jimmy Uso. The Miz won the second pin at 11 minutes, and then the Usos ran wild (during which time the bell for the "third fall" sounded) and scored the third half a minute later.
  
• Clips aired of 24/7 Champion Drake Maverick on honeymoon with his wife Renee Michelle.... in Orlando, where they live. Live, Maverick had been delivered to the arena in a crate and his wife was pissed at him for suggesting it was big enough for them both. He promised to give her the honeymoon she deserved and she said then they could finally consummate the marriage (Vince McMahon is red in the face, tears streaming down his face and banging the desk in front of him as he laughs so hard he can barely breathe) but then the jobbers showed up and chased a fleeing Drake away.
  
• Shane and Drew asked a nervous beer vendor if he would like to be Roman Reigns' partner.
  
• Rey Mysterio returned, noting that he had given up the US Title thinking he would be gone longer than he thought, but had beaten all predictions to make it back. He issued an open challenge and Bobby Lashley answered.
  
• Bobby Lashley, who the commentators sold as still brutalized from being smashed through the video boards, showed up and defeated the triumphantly returning Rey Myserio in less than a minute.
  
• 
  
• Lashley beat up Mysterio some more, threatened to throw him through the video boards and cut a promo about being the Last Man Standing on Sunday.
  
• AJ Styles and The Good Brothers refused to answer questions on why they beat the poo poo out of Ricochet last week.
  
• Cesaro defeated No Way Jose in a little over a minute, including the time he took to shoo away Jose's conga line.
  
• The Street Profits did a plug for Extreme Rules backstage and wondered if Roman Reigns would even make it to the PPV.
  
• Mike Kanellis bought flowers to his wife Maria, an apology for last week but possibly also a thank you for so successfully grifting Vince McMahon out of 2.5 million dollars . They affirmed their love for each other before the pregnant Maria demanded ice cream and pickles NOW. She got mad when he suggested non-fat ice cream and he ran away. She pondered what kind of man taps out to a woman like Mike did to Becky last week.
  
• Bayley and Nikki Cross must face Sarah Logan and Dana Brooke respectively in Beat the Clock challenges. If Nikki wins, Alexa Bliss gets to pick the match stipulation in her title match against Bayley at Extreme Rules. I'm not sure if Bayley gets to pick the stipulation if SHE wins.
  
• Truth and Carmella were looking for Drake Maverick backstage when Drake came running by chased by the jobbers. Carmella jumped onto Truth's back and he went charging off... in the opposite direction to Drake.
  
• The Viking Raiders quickly defeated Colin and Devin Justin. The most interesting part of this match was Cole speculating whether the Justins were brothers or not. Postmatch, Drake Maverick ran through the crowd and the ring, not noticed by the Viking Raiders. The jobbers followed him but Curt Hawkins (so recently a tag champ) got murdered by the Viking Raiders, and R-Truth thought better of trying to go through them. Maverick escaped.
  
• Roman Reigns gave an odd promo backstage about playing games when asked about Shane and Drew picking his partner tonight.
  
• Ricochet was in the ring and said he was under no illusions that AJ Styles and Karl Anderson would interfere in his non-title match against Luke Gallows but he was ready to face all of them. The three came out and AJ gave him the veteran advice to "slow down and appreciate the moment" before showing a video of last week's beatdown again.
  
• Ricochet defeated Luke Gallows in 3 minutes, and afterwards AJ challenged him to live up to his word to face all of them by fighting Karl Anderson next.
  
• Ricochet defeated Karl Anderson in just under 5 minutes despite frequent distractions by Styles and Gallows. Postmatch, AJ attacked Ricochet and he and the Good Brothers beat the poo poo out of him before AJ set him up for the 2nd turnbuckle Styles Clash. Instead, AJ got down and said he wanted no excuses from Ricochet at Extreme Rules for losing the US Titlte, told him to stay down and they left. Ricochet got back up so they returned and beat the poo poo out of him some more, Gallows and Anderson holding him in place to take a Phenomenal Forearm.
  
• Drake's wife was sitting on a crate when Drake showed up excited he had survived the night without losing the 24/7 Title (the night isn't over). Renee Michelle suddenly realized Truth was inside the crate she was sitting on with a referee. Carmella popped out of a second crate, and Drake ran away.
  
• Shane and Drew approached maintenance man "Gary" who was using his mop to help him walk. They offered him $5000 to be Roman's partner and he accepted, saying he'd do anything for $5000. They offered him a mask to preserve his secret identity of Gary the Maintenance Guy who just accepted their offer on live television.
  
• Bayley defeated Sarah Logan in 4 minutes and 32 seconds in her Beat The Clock Challenge.
  
• Nikki Cross defeated Dana Brooke in 2 minutes 40 seconds, beating Bayley's time to allow Alexa Bliss to pick the stipulation in the Extreme Rules title match. Postmatch, Nikki called Bayley in the ring to tell her the stipulation to her face: it'll be a 2-on-1 handicap match of Bayley defending her title against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross. She pointed out that Alexa was a true friend for allowing her to make this the stipulation, and that Bayley could use a friend as good as that. Bayley smacked the taste out of her mouth and hit the Belly-to-Bayley before posing over her with the belt. This was weird, Nikki isn't exactly a heel and Bayley kind of came across as a bully here.
  
• Mike Kanellis brought Maria the full fat ice cream she demanded, and she went off the deep end because that would make her fat! She asked him if he really wanted to impregnate her and he said of course he did, and if he could he would do it again right now. She said he would never get the chance again, she wasn't even sure if he'd done it this time, and then screamed at him and threw the flowers at him, shouting,"LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!"
  
• They grifted Vince McMahon out of 2.5 million dollars
  
• Seth and Becky were interviewed backstage about what happened earlier tonight and what might happen if they lost their titles at Extreme Rules. Becky cut a confident promo about how they were going to win, and Seth agreed,"Yeah, what she said!" when prompted.
  
• The Street Profits did another hype promo for Extreme Rules making fun of the idea of Baron Corbin winning the Universal Title.
  
• Shane and Drew came out and (eventually) introduced Roman's tag partner was Gary "The GOAT" Garbutt. Gary the maintenance man came shuffling out wearing a mask.
  
• Roman started the match and eventually had to tag in Gary... who went crazy doing all kinds of flips and dives and freaking out Shane and Drew. Eventually Drew hit him with a Claymore Kick as he was putting a beating on Shane, and Shane got the pinfall win thus saving us from something interesting happening.
  
• Postmatch, Roman chased Shane and Drew out of the ring where they posed as announced as the winners, Shane looking like he was going to pop. Roman removed Gary's mask to reveal he was Cedric Alexander.
  
• This was supposed to be a big moment but.... he lost? The show went off the air with Shane's music playing while he was freaking out/angry over... beating the guy who tried to pull a fast one on him.
  
• This was the last Raw before Extreme Rules.
  

• Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler was supposed to be the main event of the show, but before the show started Ziggler arrived and starting doing a ranting interview about Owens who showed up in his car honking at him. They got into a brawl and Shane McMahon ordered Owens to go home and Ziggler to get into the building. He said Owens was off the show and he would figure out a new main event.
  
• As the commentators started discussing the lineup for the show, Owens came down through the crowd and got onto a mic to rant about how Shane McMahon was a glory hog and the so-called "changes" the McMahon had promised had only equalled more screentime for Shane at the expense of the likes of Apollo Crews, Buddy Murphy, Asuka and Kairi Sane. His mic was cut twice so he jumped onto commentary to continue his rant, insisting people were sick of seeing Shane. Security came out and Owens left through the crowd as Corey Graves said he'd committed career suicide.
  
• Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Finn Balor in a non-title match, in which Nakamura continually tried to win via countout before finally winning clean with the Kinshasa.
  
• Shane McMahon was talking with Elias and Drew about Roman and Cedric Alexander on Raw last night. Elias said he'd written a funeral song for the Undertaker. Ziggler showed up mad that he wasn't getting a shot at Kevin Owens after all, and Shane said he would face Roman Reigns in the main event instead, and McMahon and his cronies would be at ringside.
  
• After a recap of the Samoa Joe/Kofi Kingston angle, Joe spat fire on the mic backstage and promised to beat Kofi for the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules.
  
• The contract signing for Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Nikki Cross for the Smackdown Women's Championship happened, with Nikki signing on Alexa's behalf. Bayley warned that she'd also been starstruck when she first came to the main roster from NXT and people had taken advantage of that, and that Alexa would be quick to blame Nikki when Bayley retained at the PPV. Nikki claimed that Alexa had said they could be co-champions and she wanted Bayley to watch her next match closely.
  
• Nikki Cross defeated Carmella, dominating at first till missing a crossbody but fighting back to get the win.
  
• The Kabuki Warriors defeating The IIconics in Japan two weeks ago in a non-title match was shown on video. Backstage, Paige and the Kabuki Warriors approached the IIconics and demanded a title match tonight, but Peyton insisted Billie has mad cow-bird flu disease. Paige slapped Billie and said promised Asuka and Kairi would win the titles.
  
• A recap of Cedric Alexander's reveal last night aired, and Roman promised that Shane and Drew would REST. IN. PEACE! at the PPV.
  
• New Day came out to discuss the threeway tag titles match at Extreme Rules, with BIG E disappointed because he'd thought they were having a different kind of threeway. Bryan and Rowan came out to talk poo poo and New Day mocked Rowan for always following somebody else, whether Bray Wyatt or Luke Harper or now Bryan... who was Rowan's daddy? Bryan said this was the problem with New Day, they spent too much time joking, and the only thing worse than them being champions would be Heavy Machinery being champions. Heavy Machinery came out to dispute this.
  
• Otis defeated Daniel Bryan and Xavier Woods in a triple threat match, with each of their teammates being thrown out for getting into a brawl. Otis eventually pinned Xavier Woods with a pop-up slam.
  
• Ember Moon was waiting in line for catering and Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville pushed in line. They got in each other's faces and Rose/Deville challenged Moon to find a partner to face them in a match next week. Drake Maverick was hiding under the table.
  
• A video promo of Mustafa Ali by the shore at night aired.
  
• Aleister Black was interviewed in a split-screen with an empty chair about his mystery opponent, but as he spoke a figure walked around the chair and sat down: it was Cesaro. This match is gonna be loving awesome.
  
• Shelton Benjamin did another weird look around/walk away non-answer when interviewed backstage about Dolph Ziggler.
  
• Just before Kofi got interviewed backstage, Paul Heyman came walking by. Kofi was unconcerned about any mindgames anybody was trying to play with him, saying worrying about those was how people ended up losing. He was going to go into Extreme Rules, beat Samoa Joe, and walk out WWE Champion.... babyyyyyyy!
  
• Roman Reigns defeated Dolph Ziggler in the main event. The match was really dull until the last couple minutes when the requisite bullshit interference from Shane and his cronies was happening but Roman took out Elias and Drew at ringside and then Kevin Owens raced in out of the crowd and hit Shane with the Stunner. Roman and Dolph got back into the ring and Roman hit a hell of a spear on Dolph and pinned him to end the show as Owens raced back through the crowd who were going crazy.
