Extreme Rules 2019 is now in the books. Below are the match results followed by my thoughts on said matches. So let's begin.
On the kick off show, two matches took place. The intercontinental championship match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura. Resulting in Nakamura winning the championship. It feels like a nothing win to me, seeing as there has been little to no build at all.
The other match on the kick off show was Drew Gulak successfully defending the Cruiserweight title against Tony Nese.
As promised, here are the results of the main card.
Roman Reigns & The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre (No Holds Barred Match) Winners: Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.
The best thing about this match was the visual of McIntyre creeping up on Undertaker in the closing moments of the match as some sort of a tease for SummerSlam.
When Shane returned and his music hit a while ago, it was a great moment but now I just want this guy off WWE TV.
Raw Tag Team Championship
The Revival (c) vs. The Usos
Winners: AND STILL RAW Tag Team Champions. The Revival.
These two teams work so well together. Fun match. Nothing else to say really.
Aleister Black vs. Cesaro
Winner: Aleister Black
During my predictions post, I said this is the best match on the card and it delivered 100% If this was a one off match? Then that would the best correct thing for this. On to the next one as they say.
SmackDown Women's Championship Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross (2-on-1 Handicap Match) Winner: AND STILL SmackDown Women's Champion. Bayley.
This match was boring. I was waiting for Sasha Banks to return and then turn heel. That didn't happen. Ah well. The champ remaining the champ was the right call. That is all.
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley (Last Man Standing Match) Winner: Braun Strowman.
I really hope this feud is done. Fun match though.
I really hope this feud is done. Fun match though.
SmackDown Tag Team Championship Daniel Bryan & Rowan (c) vs. The New Day vs. Heavy Machinery Winners: AND NEW SmackDown Tag Team Champions! The New Day!
The New Day are all champions now. Did they need the tag titles? No. Not really. Interesting to see what happens next in the SmackDown tag division.
United States Championship
Ricochet (c) vs. AJ Styles
Winner: AND NEW United States Champion. AJ Styles!
Decent match. Sign me up for the next one at SummerSlam. I hope they make it a ladder match.
Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Kevin Owens.
This match was announced on social media like everything is these days. KO won quickly via the Stunner. Owens as a face character? I like that because he says what we are all thinking. He's really good on the mic too. The downside to his character is he's becoming Stone Cold lite. Other than that? It's all good.
WWE Championship Match
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Samoa Joe
Winner: AND STILL WWE Champion. Kofi Kingston.
Kofi remains the champion. Joe to me is Bray Wyatt 2.0 now. What I mean by that is that he talks a good fight but he always loses. Speaking of Bray. Can he debut already? Someone should let him in.
Winners Take All Match
Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans (Extreme Rules Match) Winners: AND STILL Universal Champion. Seth Rollins and STILL Raw Women's Champion. Becky Lynch.
This was a decent match, the best thing about this was Corbin giving Becky the End of Days which p*ssed off Seth. He stomped Corbin for the win.
BROCK LESNAR CASHES IN MONEY IN THE BANK!!!
Universal Championship Match
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Brock Lesnar
Winner: AND NEW Universal Champion. Brock Lesnar!
Brock wins! That's him off from TV till August then. Who will be his next challenger? Strowman? Been there done that. Aleister Black? Bray? My guess is that they'll give Rollins a rematch because I can't think of many people on RAW that are faces. Unless someone comes over from SmackDown using the WildCard rule, from outta nowhere.....
Thanks for reading. Laters.
