Here is some instant reaction from tonight’s WWE Extreme Rules PPV
Look for a full recap and round table with myself, Eli Mooneyham and Payton Vince in the coming hours.
But for now, here is my instant gut reactions!
Dolph Ziggler defeats Baron Corbin
Smart! Third and final blow off match coming up at MITB. I just hope that one gets put on the main card!
The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston and/or Xavier Woods) (c) retain the titles over The Vaudevillains (Aiden English and Simon Gotch)
I liked how they made sure to include Woods in some in ring action in a big win! That was a good idea. The Vaudevillains will be great one day, just not yet.
Charlotte retains the Women’s title over Natalya
Charlotte is incredible between the ropes, but the fact that WWE insists on her winning matches by cheating and getting help, is not good for her creditability as a champ, but does help her heel status.
Rusev submits Kalisto to win the US Championship
That was a big screw you to Ryback. Also, sets up a match with Cena perfectly upon his return!
The Miz retains IC Title over Kevin Owens, Cesaro and Sami Zayn
WOW! Despite being predictable, this match was incredible, my hat goes off to all four men. That was excellent! Now time to get KO a main event push.
Dean Ambrose pins Chris Jericho
The match had its issues, perhaps the biggest was having to follow the incredible IC match. I would imagine we have seen the last of Jericho for this year. Time for his Summer hiatus to tour with Fozzy.
The Usos (Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso) get pinned and destroyed by The Club Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows
A dominant win over the USO’s was the perfect way to get the Bullet Club over for good. The USO’s are still very over and won’t be too damaged by this loss.
Roman Reigns defeats AJ Styles to retain The World Heavyweight Championship
I was just thinking how WWE Extreme Rules was nearly identical to WWE Payback when Rollins came down to surprise Reigns with a beatdown. The WWE would be smart to keep Rollins in the main event picture for awhile and keep him as a face. As for Styles, he nearly dropped a grenade on Reigns and couldn’t defeat him. His squashing will continue tomorrow with another loss to someone, and then it will be followed up by The Bullet Club turning on him. Sasha Banks on it!
