The Gamemaster appears on the Titan Tron to start the show:
Gamemaster: “I’m not going to waste too much of your time but tonight we will see The Usos face The Celtic Order for a tag title show next week. We will also see 2 more #1 contender’s qualifying matches as Dean Ambrose faces Rusev and Daniel Bryan faces Bray Wyatt in our main event. There will be a lot more tonight but enough talk let’s get to the action.”
World Tag Title Shot
The Usos v. The Celtic Order
- The Celtic Order once again used their strength and power to get the advantage. The Usos fought back using their speed and their teamwork experience to get the upper hand when Jimmy made a hot tag and took out both men. The Usos were in complete control taking Sheamus out with a double superkick and then hitting a toss Samoan drop on Finlay when out of nowhere two men rushed the ring attacking The Usos causing a DQ.
Winners by DQ: The Usos
- After the match was over the two men continued to attack The Usos while The Celtic Order simply left not seeming real upset at the outcome. The two men attacking The Usos revealed themselves as The Brotherhood, Stardust and Goldust but seemed to have a bit more of an edge to them.
- Backstage we see Dolph Ziggler standing when Mizs walks up to him.
Miz: “Well Dolphy boy, it really is too bad they new big guy in charge put you in such an unfair match last week to qualify for the #1 contender’s match.”
Dolph: “At least he saw enough in me to give me a chance at qualifying. I didn’t see you even get a chance.”
Miz gets in his face and the two men square off until they are separated. A match is made for later in the evening.
#1 Contender’s Qualifying Match
Dean Ambrose v. US Champion, Rusev
- This was a back and forth match between two top guys in WWE. Rusev tossed to the mat with a one arm throw and began kicking his back. Ambrose used a slingshot clothesline out of the ropes to knock Rusev to his knees. He followed up with a running kick to take him down for a 2 count. Ambrose kept in control when Kevin Owens music hits and Owens runs out to ringside distracting Ambrose enough to allow Rusev to hit a jumping back kick and lock in the Accolade for the win.
Winner by submission: Rusev
- After the match Rusev continued to beat down Ambrose until Sgt. Slaughter made his way to the ring to make the save. He motioned that the US Championship would be his and then a US flag dropped from behind him. All of a sudden Wade Barrett came out and challenged Slaughter to a match which was accepted.
Sgt. Slaughter v. Wade Barrett
- Slaughter had Barrett on the ropes throughout this match but Barrett fought back with a spinning Bullhammer sending Slaughter flying out of the ring stunning him briefly but not knocking him out. As Barrett distracted the refs Rusev came back to ringside and delivered a jumping side kick to Slaughter before sending him back in the ring. Barrett picked Slaughter up and hit another Bullhammer for the win.
Winner by pinfall: Wade Barrett
Dolph Ziggler v. The Miz
- Miz taunted Ziggler throughout this match and it seemed to really get under the skin of Dolph as he made several uncharacteristic mistakes allowing Miz to hit the Skull Crushing Finale for the surprising win.
Winner by pinfall: The Miz
- After the match Miz grabbed a mic and said he has now beaten down Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler. He has proven he should be counted with the upper echelon and demands that he gets a shot at some gold.
- Randy Orton comes out to the ring after a commercial break.
Orton: “Ever since I beat Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania I have been screwed over by the new regime. First I am forced to wrestle in a #1 contender’s match for a title shot against Rollins, and then I get put in a qualifying match against an unknown opponent to get into the #1 contender’s match at Extreme Rules who turns out to be Edge. I don’t know what this Gamemaster has against me but I’m sick and tired of it. Edge, you aren’t a surprise now so get your *** out here and I will take you out tonight and let’s up the stakes. Winner of the match picks the stipulation for Extreme Rules.”
- Edge makes his way out to the stage.
Edge: “Yep, same ole Randy Orton, always whining about something and thinking the world is against you. You want to face me tonight you’re on.”
- Edge rushes the ring and the two men begin to brawl with each other immediatlely.
Winner gets to pick the stipulation for Extreme Rules
Edge v. Randy Orton
- The two men continued to brawl and ended up battling outside the ring. Edge went for a spear on Orton but Orton side stepped him sending him into the stairs and crawling back in the ring before the 10 count.
Winner by count out: Randy Orton
#1 contenders qualifying match
Daniel Bryan v. Bray Wyatt
- These two men are no strangers to each other. Bryan came on strong with his speed hitting a series of kicks on Wyatt sending him out of the ring. Bryan hit a dive out of the ring taking Wyatt down. Wyatt got up and fought back.. The two men battled back and forth with Wyatt taking a bit of an advantage with his size. Bryan fought back and was in complete control when the lights went out and the Wyatt’s video played and when the lights came back on Harper was standing on the ring apron. Bryan went after him knocking him off. The lights went back off and this time Rowan was on the ring apron but Bryan knocked him off. The lights went off again and this time Strowman was on the ring apron. Bryan was basically surrounded on all 4 sides and this allowed Bray to hit Sister Abigail and pick up the big win.
Winner by pinfall: Bray Wyatt
- The lights went out and when they came back on the entire Wyatt Family was in the ring surrounding Daniel Bryan. All of a sudden the lights go very dim and gain a purple tint while smoke begins rolling from the stage area around the ring, gongs were heard over the speakers and ‘lightning’ strikes all over the stage, ramp and around the ring making the members of the Wyatt Family flinch slightly. All of a sudden we see shadows of three men, including one who is much larger than the other two men slide into the ring and begin beating down the members of the Wyatt Family. At one point we can tell that Braun Strowman gets clothesline over the top rope. The gongs sounds again and the three mystery men, along with Daniel Bryan are gone as the lights come back on. All of a sudden Undertaker’s voice is heard.
Undertaker: “Bray Wyatt, your day of reckoning is almost upon you. You believe that you have just earned your opportunity but you fail to realize that in two weeks you step into the devil’s playground, you step into my playground.”
- The lighting strikes again, the lights come on, Harper, Rowan, and Strauman are standing around the ring while Wyatt is kneeling in the middle of the ring laughing maniacally.
