The big takeaway –
Raw was bad.
View summary –
Mixed match with elimination: Raw women's champion Becky Lynch and Universal champion Seth Rollins def. Zelina Vega & Andrade (14:12)
The crowd chanted, "Let's go Becky" while she was working on Vega to start. Vega made a mistake after a DDT, but Lynch came back with a vertical suplex. Andrade came in and Lynch faced him, but Rollins got in between them, and then Lynch went back to the apron.
The Rollins had the best of their exchange, using a slingblade and consecutive suicide dives. Lynch scored and eliminated Vega after an Exploder and Disarmer at 4:54. Lacey Evans appeared in the front row, so Lynch pursued her and they exchanged punches until Rollins broke up and they went to publicity.
After a break, Rollins convinced Lynch to come back on deck while Michael Cole explained that it was a simple game, now that Vega was eliminated. Rollins tried to mount the turnbuckle for a superplex, but Andrade blocked him and kicked his double foot as he watched him while holding the rope down.
Andrade went to get the suplexes of the Three Amigos but Rollins countered the last in a Falcon Arrow. Rollins followed with a springboard to the knee for two. Andrade sent Rollins outside, then Vega gave him a hurricane. Lynch defeated Vega, then Rollins overthrew Andrade.
Andrade accused Rollins, but Lynch pushed Rollins out of the way, so Andrade threw Lynch into the barricade by accident. While Rollins checked Lynch, Andrade attacked him and threw him into the barricade, then followed with a double knee in the corner for an imminent approach. Vega tried to hurry Rollins, but Rollins blocked him and Lynch dropped him.
Rollins then finished Andrade with a brake for victory. I did not like the elimination clause, but it was still good and the crowd was happy.
When the happy couple sat on the stage, Baron Corbin toppled Rollins from behind. Lynch gave Corbin some shots, but Evans appeared and gave Lynch the "women's right" (which seemed embarrassing). Corbin and Evans posed before leaving.
After they left, Paul Heyman went to great pop and they went for a break.
Behind the scenes, Corbin and Evans were jubilant about what they did. They wondered what would happen to Rollins and Lynch if they lost, then they said that their own relationship worked better because it was strictly professional. (This exchange was extremely artificial and they were also behind the scenes where they would probably be easy to find for Lynch and Rollins.)
Paul Heyman promo
Heyman has introduced himself as Brock Lesnar's lawyer. He noted that this Sunday was extreme rules, and he knew something about the word "extreme". Not only that, but the show was in Philadelphia. Heyman said that Lesnar would cash his contract to Extreme Rules against Kofi Kingston or Seth Rollins, and called him a spoiler.
Heyman said he had not lied about giving a spoiler since before WrestleMania 30; so he either warned everyone, or nailed with Kingston and Rollins, and only he and Brock Lesnar knew the answer. He dropped the microphone.
(Heyman looked tired during this promo.)
They aired a video recap of Braun Strowman / Bobby Lashley's angle last week, which included a Lashley selfie promotion that threatened to send Strowman to the morgue. They announced a final game standing between the two this Sunday.
Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre approached a guy from the backyard arena maintenance. They heard that he was the best garbage man in the world (he nodded) and then asked him if he wanted to be Roman Reigns' partner tonight. He did not know what to say. They told him to stay until they were ready.
6-player match: The Miz & The Usos def. Elias & The Revival (11:34)
Miz attacked Elias outside the ring, and then Elias started coming out of the ramp. I guess it distracted users because Revival gave Jimmy Uso the Shatter Machine to win the first fall at 3:00 am, and then they reduced the length of their commercial break at a convenient time.
After the break, the bell rang to begin the second fall. Elias was gone. The Revival worked on Jimmy, but he finally carried the torch to Jey who hit Dash Wilder with blows, an enziguri and a hip attack. Jey also touched a flying cross, but Wilder was found in a blanket for two. Scott Dawson joined us and launched a brainbuster for two.
Miz made a label and offered Dawson an overwhelming Skull final to win the second fall at 10:57. One of the Usos is tagged, then both Usos handed over superkicks. Jimmy beat Wilder with a dive, then Jey hit Dawson for a dazzling victory.
The bell rang for the third fall to begin in the middle of Usos' fierce race, which was confused and mute. They must stop that.
They showed clips of Drake Maverick and Renee Michelle on their honeymoon in Orlando. Michelle was annoyed because they lived in Orlando and wondered why they were going for their honeymoon. Maverick had the 24/7 belt with him all the time. The crowd enjoyed these clips.
Behind the scenes, Maverick came out of a crate while Michelle reprimanded him. Maverick said that there was enough room in the crate for both. She did not like that. He promised to give her the honeymoon she deserved. She said that if he did, they could finally consume the relationship. He celebrated, then was chased by a handful of wrestlers.
McMahon and McIntyre approached a beer seller with the opportunity offered by Reigns' partner. He nervously thanked them, then McIntyre made him call McMahon the best in the world.
[Second hour]
Rey Mysterio is out and remembered to have abandoned the American title. The doctors told him that he would be away for a long time, but he came back more hungry than ever and he beat his predictions. Mysterio launched an open challenge. Lashley came out and the commentators wondered how he could be healthy enough to compete.
Bobby Lashley defeated Rey Mysterio (0:56)
Mysterio gave Lashley 619, but Lashley caught him at the top and hit a Flatliner, then a spear for the quick win. Welcome, Rey.
Lashley then attacked Mysterio. He dragged Msyerio up the ramp and was about to throw him into the video boards, but was stopped by officials. Lashley launched Mysterio in the place of the officials. Lashley caught a microphone and said that he was the only man standing last week and that he would be the last man standing on Sunday. I'm pretty sure that he missed his first line before correcting it.
Charly Caruso approached AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson behind the scenes and asked Styles why he had attacked Ricochet. Styles said he owed no explanation to anyone and told him to be forgotten. She asked Anderson and Gallows for an answer, but they also took it away.
Cesaro defeated No Way Jose (1:10)
Before the match, Cesaro chased the conga line. In doing so, Jose attempted a dive but fell awkwardly on the apron. Jose started the game on the offensive, but Cesaro quickly cut him off with uppercuts, and then used the big swing followed by a Sharpshooter to win the match.
Behind the scenes, Street Profits broke Extreme Rules and ran the match between Reigns and Undertaker against McMahon and McIntyre. They noted that Reigns should be going to Sunday first and that his partner tonight could be anyone. They wondered if it could even be Kawhi Leonard.
They broadcast what happened between Maria and Mike Kanellis last week. Mike found Maria and gave her flowers by apologizing for what happened. They said that they like it. Maria added that she also liked ice creams and pickles. It took her a while to understand that she wanted these things now. He offered no ice cream and she was offended. After he got away, Maria said, "What kind of man's address to a woman?"
They interviewed Bayley and Nikki Cross on several screens. Alexa Bliss selects the conditions for her match for the title of Smackdown Women against Sunday against Bayley. Cross said she owed everything to Bliss, and then Bayley tried to rejuvenate her. Cross was offended and wanted to silence Bayley.
Cole interrupted to explain the rules of the stopwatch challenge and announce his opponents. Bayley has Sarah Logan, Cross has Dana Brooke. They each talked about their opponents. Bayley's dialogue sounded completely wrong. Cross did his best with his equipment. It was lame.
R-Truth and Carmella searched Maverick behind the scenes. Truth looked in boxes, under tables and in a drawer. Maverick passed them while he was still being chased. The truth gave Carmella a piggyback ride and ran in the opposite direction.
The Viking Raiders defeated Colin Justin and Devin Justin (1:22)
Cole did not know if Colin and Devin were brothers. Erik and Ivar destroyed those two and won quickly with the Viking experience.
As soon as it was done, Maverick ran into the crowd and into the ring (he was not detected by the Viking Raiders). Some wrestlers hit the ring, including Curt Hawkins who was killed by the Viking Raiders. The truth confronted them but thought better and left. Maverick escaped while this was happening.
Caruso asked Roman Reigns if he knew who his partner was tonight. Reigns said he had nothing for her. He asked if she knew who his partner was, then said that the only ones playing games were him and his team. She left and Reigns looked bored. It was so strange. I have no idea what happened here or what it meant.
Ricochet made a promo before his match. He said he proved himself last week, but he could not even celebrate because he had been attacked by Styles, Gallows and Anderson. He knew what was going to happen. He had a match with Gallows, but knew that Anderson and Styles would be with him. He was ready to fight all three.
Styles, Anderson and Gallows are out on Styles music. Styles advised Ricochet with some tips: slow down and enjoy the moment, especially since Gallows was about to stomp on a hole. Styles also wanted him to appreciate what had happened last week and showed a video package.
American champion Ricochet defeated Luke Gallows (with AJ Styles and Karl Anderson) in an off-title match (3:00)
Gallows controlled the essential but Ricochet won with a stack. Then Styles challenged Ricochet to do what he was about to do and beat all three of them. Styles told him to fight against Anderson.
[Third hour]
American champion Ricochet defeated Karl Anderson (with AJ Styles and Luke Gallows) in an untitled match (4:31)
Styles and Gallows kept distracting Ricochet. Ricochet has released Gallows with a dive, then Styles with a lunar attack out of the loop. Ricochet dropped Anderson and scored a 630 to win.
The styles attacked Ricochet immediately after. Styles gave him a whim, then Gallows and Anderson gave him a Magic Killer. Styles set up for a Clash Styles outside the second string, but did not bother him. He told Ricochet that he did not want any excuses on Sunday. He advised Ricochet to stay behind.
As he left, Ricochet got up and his heels returned to the ring. Gallows and Anderson hoisted Ricochet so Styles could give him a phenomenal forearm. This has pretty good heat.
They released a quick video package for Evolve this Saturday and showed some of the current WWE wrestlers working there.
Behind the scenes, Renee Michelle was still sitting on a crate. Maverick has rushed to her, excited to have escaped the night as a champion 24/7 (there are still more than 50 minutes in the series). Michelle jumped when she realized that Truth was inside the crate she was sitting on. A referee was with him. Carmella came out of a second crate and they ran after Maverick.
McMahon and McIntyre contacted another maintenance officer, named Gary, who used his mop as a lever to walk. They offered him $ 5,000 to be Reigns' partner, so he agreed, saying he would do anything for $ 5,000. They also gave him a mask to protect his identity.
Beat the clock (excl. Title): Bayley, champion of Smackdown, beat Sarah Logan (4:32)
The crowd was silent, then they sang for CM Punk. Bayley triumphed with a bomb at sunset in the turnbuckle.
Beat the clock match: Nikki Cross defeated Dana Brooke (2:40)
Brooke left the ring to kill time and Renee Young noted how clever she was because she had nothing to gain. Presumably, winning this match would make sense. There was also a moment when Brooke came out and kissed Bayley who was happy with all of this.
Brooke missed a culprit but still managed to get a stack for two. They exchanged rollups, and Cross grabbed her with a cap for a quick win to beat Bayley's time. Bayley was disappointed.
Cross asked Bayley to get on the ring because she had something to say in the face. Cross told her that she did not know what true friendship meant, but she would show him what it meant to Extreme Rules, because Bliss allowed him to make the title match a 2-on-1 match.
Cross advised Bayley to find his own friend, someone as honest and honest as Bliss, someone who could make sense of him. Bayley slapped Cross, then gave him a belly-drop Bayley belly drop.
Mike Kanellis brought ice and a jar of pickles to Maria. We have the impression that it has been six hours since we last saw them. Maria shouted at him because the food would make her fat. Maria asked him if he wanted to do it if she was not already pregnant. He said yes, of course. Maria said she was not even sure she was the one to get her pregnant. She shouted, "Look what you've done to me!" And he escaped.
Corey Graves, very excited, asked Rollins and Lynch what would happen if one of them cost their title to the other. Lynch was not playing with her game. She called him "emo head" and told him that there were no rules on Sunday and that they would leave as champions. Rollins added, "what she said."
Street Profits has again spoken of the extreme rules. Angelo Dawkins chose Samoa Joe to beat Kofi Kingston because he did not want Joe to choke him. They also made jokes about Corbin. I think Montez Ford blew up one of my speakers.
Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre def. Roman Reigns and Cedric Alexander (2:07)
The commentators have made fun of Mike Rome who can not do the great introduction of the "best of the world" without his voice. McIntyre continued for a long time until McMahon finally introduced his partner, Gary "The Goat" Garbutt. Gary, wearing a mask, limped up to the ring and they went on to advertise while there was less than 8 minutes left.
With McIntyre and Reigns in the ring, the crowd chanted "We want Gary". Gary accidentally entered it. He suddenly escaped and launched a plunging dive on McIntyre, then a sling crossbody on McMahon. McIntyre suddenly came in and nailed Gary with a Claymore kick. McMahon covered Gary for the final victory.
Reigns gave McIntyre a superman punch, then McIntyre left the ramp with McMahon.
They showed Gary's replicas on the loose and the advertisers, like idiots, said how great he was to a janitor. Reigns unmasked the guy, who turned out to be Cedric Alexander (who was bleeding from his mouth). Alexander was happy with him despite his defeat. Renee said, "The age of Alexander is here!"
To sum up, Roman Reigns had a perfectly capable professional wrestler as a partner and was always lost.
