Kickoff Show Match
Kalisto vs. Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews was accompanied to the ring by Titus O’Neil. This was a surprisingly good match and the crowd was pretty into it. Kalisto hit a lot of “cool” high flying moves, hurricanranas, etc. Towards the end of the match, Kalisto hit a nice tornado DDT on Apollo, but he kicked out. Kalisto springboarded off the top rope but Crews caught him and hit a Samoan Drop. Crews did a “shooting star press” while standing in the ring but Kalisto kicked out. Titus O’Neil, who had been arguing with the ref and trying to “coach” Apollo throughout the match, got up on the apron and started arguing with the ref again, which distracted Crews. Kalisto came up from behind and hit the Salida del Sol for the win. After the match, O’Neil and Crews argued.

Winner: Kalisto

Intercontinental Championship
Title Can Change Hands on DQ
Dean Ambrose (c) vs. The Miz

Maryse did not immediately slap The Miz to cause him to win via DQ. Early in the match, as Ambrose and Miz wrestled on the outside, Ambrose inexplicably grabbed a chair and went to hit The Miz with it, but the referee warned him that he would get disqualified (and lose the title). Miz’s hair looked nice in this match. After some back and forth action, Miz hit three hard dropkicks in the corner. Miz wasted time standing around and taunting Ambrose and Ambrose went for a Dirty Deeds out of nowhere, but Miz escaped. Ambrose jumped off the top rope and landed awkwardly on his knee and Miz capitalized, kicking him in the leg and locking on a Figure Four until Ambrose grabbed the rope.

Miz went for the Skull Crushing Finale, but Ambrose escaped and hit his clothesline off the ropes. He went for the Dirty Deeds, but Miz escaped and knocked down Ambrose. Maryse climbed on the apron and Miz shouted at her to slap him. Maryse slapped Miz in front of the referee, but the ref didn’t buy it and ejected Maryse. While he was ejecting her, Miz threw Ambrose into the ref and knocked him out of the ring. The ref thought Ambrose attacked him and was about to call for a disqualification, but Miz came up from behind and nailed the Skull Crushing Finale for the win.

Winner and new Intercontinental Champion: The Miz

Backstage Interview: Bayley

TONIGHT @itsBayleyWWE is ready to do WHATEVER it takes to walk out of @WWE #ExtremeRules as #RAW #WomensChampion! #KendoStickOnAPole pic.twitter.com/o9oQxBwOBI

— WWE (@WWE) June 5, 2017

Bayley took a shot at Alexa, saying that Alexa thought her “This Is Your Life” segment was good, but she’s no Mankind or The Rock. Then she said she felt “empowered” after seeing Wonder Woman. OK. Then said she’s been watching Tommy Dreamer and Steve Blackman matches to prepare.

Mixed Tag Team Match
Sasha Banks and Rich Swann vs. Alicia Fox and Noam Dar

This was a pretty short and forgettable match. About 5 minutes in, as Alicia Fox stumbled around on the outside, Sasha Banks went to the top rope. Noam Dar ran to try to “protect” Fox, but Sasha jumped and nailed him with two knees. Back in the ring, Rich Swann hit a Phoenix Splash on Dar for the win.

Winners: Sasha Banks and Rich Swann

In-Ring: Elias Samson

In the ring, Elias Samson sat with his guitar and told the crowd to hold their applause until after his song was over. The start of the song’s lyrics: “Baltimore is bathed in filth / And these people are all the same / This city’s so depressing / And you’re all to blame.” Got pretty good heat from the crowd.

Raw Women’s Championship
Kendo Stick on a Pole Match
Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Bayley

Both repeatedly went for the kendo stick from the beginning and Bayley grabbed it about 3 minutes into the match and chased Alexa in and around the ring until finally cornering her. Alexa cowered in the corner, but suddenly tackled Bayley and grabbed the kendo stick and started wailing on Bayley’s back. Out of nowhere, Bayley hit a Bayley to Belly suplex, but was too beat up to go for a pin. Alexa eventually got up and shoved Bayley into the kendo stick, which was set up in the corner of the ring. Alexa then hit a DDT for the win. Weird. Very short match and Alexa Bliss basically destroyed Bayley.

Winner: Alexa Bliss

Raw Tag Team Championship
Steel Cage Match
The Hardy Boyz (c) vs. Cesaro and Sheamus

They announced that there were no pinfalls or submissions and both team members had to escape the cage to win (over the top or through the door). Always hated the ability to win via escaping through the door… The crowd chanted “delete” as Matt Hardy repeatedly slammed Cesaro’s head against the cage.

After about 10 minutes of back and forth action and repeated attempts at climbing over the cage, Sheamus went for the Brogue Kick but missed. Matt Hardy hit a tornado DDT off the middle rope. The Hardys tried to climb over the cage… Jeff Hardy climbed out and Cesaro tried to pull him back up via his arm, but Jeff Hardy knocked him down and Jeff Hardy fell to the outside. Matt Hardy couldn’t make it though, and was knocked back into the ring. However, he took out Sheamus and then hit the Side Effect in Cesaro. Matt Hardy climbed on top of the cage. Jeff Hardy grabbed at Matt from the outside, but Cesaro and Sheamus grabbed at Matt from the inside. Cesaro and Sheamus eventually won the tug of war and hit a double “Razor’s Edge” on Matt Hardy.

Jeff Hardy tried to come back in via the door (?) but Sheamus hit him with a Brogue Kick. Matt hit a Twist of Fate on Sheamus. Cesaro tried climbing the cage, but Matt threw him down. Matt almost made it over the cage, but again, Cesaro grabbed him and hit him with an uppercut. Sheamus climbed the top rope and hit Matt Hardy with the “White Noise” off the top rope. Jeff Hardy climbed back up the cage from the outside and hit a “Whisper in the Wind” from the top of the cage onto Sheamus and Cesaro. All four men were down.

Cesaro and Sheamus got up and both climbed to the outside. Matt tried to drag Jeff out through the door. Cesaro and Sheamus jumped down to the outside a second before Matt was able to drag Jeff out.

Winners and new Raw Tag Team Champions: Cesaro & Sheamus

Cruiserweight Championship
Submission Match
Neville (c) vs. Austin Aries

A few minutes into the match, Aries jumped to the outside onto Neville, but “hurt” his leg on the landing, and Neville went to work on Aries’ leg throughout the match. Neville then knocked Aries to the outside and Aries seemingly “hurt” his arm, so Neville started to work on that. Aries eventually briefly took control and went for a top rope dropkick, but Neville moved and locked in the Rings of Saturn, but Aries got his foot on the rope. Neville went for it again, but Aries reversed and locked on a Rings of Saturn of his own. Neville grabbed the referee, a callback to their match at Payback, and Aries broke the hold. Neville then hit him with a superkick.

Neville went for a top rope suplex, but Aries hit a sunset flip powerbomb and locked on the Last Chancery submission. Neville tried to escape out of the ring, but Aries kept the hold locked in on the outside. Neville tapped, but it didn’t count because they were not in the ring. Aries hit a discus five arm then went for a suicide dive to the outside, but Neville moved out of the way. He rolled Aries back into the ring and hit the Red Arrow, then locked in the Rings of Saturn and Aries tapped.

Winner: Neville

Fatal 5-Way Match to Determine #1 Contender to Universal Championship
Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Bálor vs. Bray Wyatt vs. Samoa Joe

Roman Reigns came out last to the usual boos. Bray Wyatt faced off with Reigns at the start, but Reigns made quick work of him. Samoa Joe came in but Reigns also took him out. Balor then came in, and Reigns took him out. Seth Rollins was next, but Joe and Wyatt ran in and attacked Reigns. Joe and Wyatt continued to work on Reigns for a few minutes as Michael Cole kept mentioning that Reigns still had “injured ribs” at the hands of Braun Strowman. The crowd popped as Joe and Wyatt hit Reigns with the ring steps. Wyatt and Joe then turned their attention to Finn Balor for a few minutes, utilizing a steel chair.

Roman Reigns eventually came back into the match after about 10 minutes and took out Balor, Wyatt and Joe. Reigns prepared for the Superman Punch on Wyatt, but Joe attacked Reigns. Wyatt then threw Roman Reigns down onto the announce table. Rollins joined the match and went for a dive onto Wyatt and Joe on the outside, but Wyatt broke up his alliance with Joe, shoving him into Rollins’ path. Wyatt hit Sister Abigail on Rollins and went for the pin, but Samoa Joe broke it up and he and Wyatt started going after each other. Wyatt went for Sister Abigail, but Joe reversed into the Coquina Clutch until Balor ran in with a steel chair and took them both out.

Balor kicked Reigns in the face on the outside, then dropkicked both Joe and Wyatt. Balor put Wyatt on the announce table, but Joe locked in a Coquina Clutch on Balor. Roman Reigns then hit a spear onto both men, sending them all through the ringside barricade. Seth Rollins climbed to the top rope and jumped down onto Wyatt with a big splash, sending Wyatt through the announce table.

Reigns and Rollins eventually stood up and faced off in the center of the ring. Reigns was bleeding from his mouth. After a quick sequence of moves, Reigns hit the Superman Punch… but Rollins kicked out. Reigns went for a spear, but Rollins kicked him in the head. Frog splash by Rollins, but Reigns kicked out. Rollins was selling an “injury” to his leg. Rollins went for a Phoenix Splash, but Reigns moved. Wyatt came in and went for Sister Abigail on Rollins, but Reigns hit Wyatt with a spear. Rollins hit a turnbuckle powerbomb on Reigns, but Reigns bounced off and hit Rollins with a Superman Punch. Balor ran in and Reigns nailed him with a big punch. He went for a spear but Balor hit a Sling Blade. Balor hit the Coup de Grace on Reigns, but Joe ran in and locked on the Coquina Clutch on Balor. Balor was fading in the ring… and he was out.

Winner: Samoa Joe
