WWE Extreme Rules Results and Highlights: All Hype, No Substance
WWE was advertising and marketing Extreme Rules as a Horror Show for the previous few weeks. It was to hype up the Swamp Fight between Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. And positive there was horror however for all of the incorrect causes. After present at Backlash, WWE delivered a dud at Extreme Rules. Things have been again to regular as a number of finishes left extra questions than solutions within the thoughts of the followers. Sometimes that may be a good factor however not when the ending is unsatisfactory.
The United States Championship match between Apollo Crews and MVP didn’t happen. But it appeared the title went to MVP as he proudly hoisted it within the air with Apollo not cleared for motion. Bobby Lashley attacked Apollo, so he was ‘injured’.
Then Bayley vs Nikki Cross additionally had outdoors interference with Sasha Banks hitting the challenger along with her ‘BOSS’ brass knuckles. Then Bayley pinned Cross and one other match ended and not using a clear ending.
One of probably the most talked about match was Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins in an ‘eye for an eye’ match. The idea of the match was already debated however the results of the match can be ridiculed. They had a enjoyable match until the ending the place Mysterio’s ‘eye’ got here out its socket.

Rollins puked after seeing that. The viewers didn’t see the ‘eye’ however perhaps Rollins noticed what different couldn’t. Video footage after the match confirmed blood in Mysterio’s eyes however the entire premise was bizarre to say the least.
Asuka defended her championship towards Sasha Banks nevertheless it once more had an ending which was plain complicated. After Asuka put inexperienced mist within the referee’s eyes, Bayley hit her with the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Then Bayley eliminated the referee’s t-shirt and put it on herself, which apparently made her the referee. She put Sasha on high of Asuka and counted 1,2,3. And Sasha was the brand new Raw Women’s Champion as Bayley made an official ring the bell additionally. If that is how champions could be made then why are many combating for hours, they will simply beat up the referee, take off the t-shirt and pin the opponent. Voila, Bayley gave everybody an concept to play with.

The saving grace was the WWE Championship match with Drew McIntyre taking up perennial challenger Dolph Ziggler. They had an amazing forwards and backwards struggle and an attention-grabbing stipulation during which solely Ziggler can use any weapons. But nonetheless nobody believed that Ziggler might win. Even if the stipulation was McIntyre’s fingers and legs can be tied and he has to struggle the match like that, then additionally everybody would have made Drew the favorite. Nothing on Ziggler as a wrestler, however his reserving historical past means that. In the tip, McIntyre received after a kip-up Claymore kick which appeared stunning.

Finally, the #SwampFight. It was one thing that dissatisfied to be actually sincere. After the FireFly Funhouse and Boneyard match, so much was anticipated out of this. But it was extra on the strains of the ‘House of Horrors’ match than these matches. There was an look of Alexa Bliss in disguise of perhaps ‘Sister Abigail’ however noting excited on this match. Braun was crushed up, tied and dumped (actually). At the tip, The Fiend appeared to drown Strowman. The present ended after that and seemingly urged that Wyatt received nevertheless it wasn’t clear. Actually, nothing was clear on this PPV.

It appeared WWE had no intention of creating a wrestler pinning the opponent with none interference. Not only one match, the entire PPV went like that. Rather than a movie, it was a tv present (pun supposed) with the solutions to be delivered within the subsequent episode.
