["Then, Now & Forever" playing, by Madd Da Don]
[man] Hey, do you wanna go somewhere…
really scary?
Come here.
See… this place is like no other.
There are things here that will make you tremble
with fear.
That'll keep you up at night
things that people do
and the ways that they do them.
You know you want to look.
There's that morbid curiosity.
It's like a car crash, right?
You wanna turn away, but you can't take your eyes off it.
Well, be warned
because once you get a glimpse
there's no going back.
[sinister music]
What's wrong, brother? You look like you've seen a ghost.
[man] We must take a step back to where it all began.
Do you wanna go to that eerie miserable hell you call home?
Let's go. I created you, Braun.
Therefore, it is my duty to destroy you.
[electric music]
[narrator] It is time, to permanently, make Rey Mysterio
a sacrifice for the greater good.
[man 2] You are gonna pay for what you did. An eye for an eye.
[woman] I want a title match.
[woman 2] I am officially challenging Asuka to the raw women's championship.
[speaking Japanese]
You are not the boss of me.
[Drew] I'm gonna hurt you, I'm gonna maim you.
I am gonna torture you. You're gonna beg me to stop.
[Dolph] At extreme rules horror show
I will destroy you.
[dramatic violin music]
[man 3] Shh, shh.
Don't worry, it'll all be over…
[laughing]
…soon.
[horror music]
[man 3] It's okay to scream
That's right, just let it out.
This is the horror show
at extreme rules.
[men laugh hysterically]
[narrator] And now, WWE network presents
The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
[rock music]
[Michael] What chills and thrills
and fright await us tonight?
You are looking live at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida
where tonight WWE superstars
take it to the extreme
it's The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
[announcer] Oh, people at home
don't you dare be sour
clap for your world-famous eight-time champs
and feel the power!
It's a New Day, yes it is!
[Michael] Indeed they are the eight-time tag team champions.
They've held the gold since April, when Big E beat Jey Uso
in a unique triple threat match.
[Corey] We could be moments away from The New Day's worst nightmare
being realized, as they could be
dethroned for the Smack Down Tag Team Championships.
[Michael] The New Day defending tonight in a tables match a very unique matchup
which we'll tell you all about in just a few moments.
The tables are everywhere here at ringside.
Michael Cole, Corey graves, and Corey, we've talked all along
about the fact that perhaps Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura
have New Day's number.
There's no doubt about it, particularly, as pertained to-- Oh, my god incoming.
You know, good, I hope your night goes terribly.
[Michael] Ladies and gentlemen
this match tonight is brought to you by Snickers and Dollar General
Snickers satisfies.
[Corey] As I started to say before I was interrupted
Cesaro, in particular, certainly has a number of The New Day.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest it's a tables match for the Smack Down
tag team championship.
In this match, the first team to put one of their opponents
through a table, will be declared the winner.
Introducing the Smack Down tag team champions
Kofi Kingston and Big E, The New Day!
[Corey] Big E and Kofi have to be well aware this is no time for jokes.
This is no time for fun. It is about business
and the Smack Down Tag Team Championships.
[man] I forgot there were tables there.
[beating drums]
[announcer] And their opponents
introducing first, weighing in at 232 pounds, Cesaro!
[Michael] The Swiss cyborg.
[epic music]
["Shadows of a Setting Sun" playing]
[announcer] And his tag team partner
the artist known as Shinsuke Nakamura!
[Michael] So, let's tell you the story of how we arrived at where we are tonight.
It was a couple of weeks ago on Friday night Smack Down
where Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura would challenge the tag team champions
Big E and Kofi Kingston, for the tag team titles.
Corey, we would never have a definitive winner in this matchup.
[Corey] Chaos would ensue all four competitors
throwing rules to the wayside.
This thing got personal and chaotic in a hurry.
[Michael] Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura would give us a little…
well, prediction, so to speak.
Giving us an example of what they may do at extreme rules.
[Corey] If this is a preview of what's in store for later
it is gonna be a bad day for The New Day.
[Michael] The WWE learned on Friday night Smack Down
that Snickers and Dollar general customers
have the opportunity to vote on an Extreme Rules match stipulation.
It was so close, between a steel cage and a tables match
that we'd want a one-on-one match, Cesaro versus Big E.
Cesaro won the match, got to choose the stipulation.
-He chose a tables match. -[bell rings]
And matchup is underway, and Corey, unlike a normal tag team
no tags in and out of this one.
[Corey] No pinfall, no disqualification, no submission.
The only way to win
by putting a member of the opposite team through the furniture.
[Michael] And Shinsuke Nakamura has never won a tag team title in WWE.
Cesaro is a six-time tag team champion.
[Corey] Shinsuke looks prepared to capture the Smack Down tag team titles.
Then maybe jump the Snake River canyon afterward!
[Michael laughs] And a big uppercut by Cesaro to Big E.
This is an opportunity for-- Whoa! Big stomp by Kingston.
[Corey] For Shinsuke and Cesaro
more than just the Smack Down tag team titles.
This could be for the recognition they feel they so rightly deserve.
[Michael] Kofi into the corner to try to take out Cesaro.
Big E now, with the belly-to-belly, flattening Cesaro.
[crowd cheers]
[Michael] You know, Shinsuke and Cesaro, Corey
have been talking for months about how they believe they're overlooked
that they're underrated, that they demand respect.
Here's an idea, win the match.
When the titles are on the line, you'll get respect.
[Corey] You'd better be the first to admit that you were wrong all along.
[Michael] The New Day was in control
trying to introduce the first table to this matchup.
Kingston now, bounced off the barricade.
[Corey] Nakamura and Big E, trading heavy strikes on the outside.
[Michael] And Shinsuke into the boards here at ringside.
[Corey] All of this madness is completely legal
it is bedlam here at The Horror Show.
[Michael] Being the top of the tag team on Friday night.
Smack Down, and Kofi Kingston!
[Corey] Nakamura was just crushed between Kingston's momentum.
And the boards on the outside-- look out!
[Michael] Now, it's Kingston. And a dropkick right to Cesaro
bouncing face first off the steps.
That's what you wanted!
[Michael] I asked you about this.
You seemed to think that Nakamura and Cesaro would have
the advantage in a tables match.
[Corey] A tables match is certainly too close to call.
Because of what we're seeing right now, the chaos, the bedlam, the mayhem.
It's all legal, it all comes down to one opportunity
to put an opponent through a table.
[Michael] And Big E will set up the table.
Kofi trying to move Cesaro over toward there.
Remember, if Kingston or Big E put Cesaro through that table
the match is over
and they'll retain the tag team titles.
[Corey] And vice versa, if somehow Nakamura or Cesaro puts Big E
or Kofi through, we got new champs.
[Michael] It's important to point out
you must put your opponent through the table.
It can't be accidental.
And Big E now with Cesaro up at his shoulders, Kofi Kingston
looking to put this away
and Shinsuke may have just saved this matchup for the team.
[Corey] Nasty landing for Kofi, on the back of his neck
followed up by a sliding kick.
And the complexion of this one has changed instantly.
[Michael] A few moments ago
in the Extreme Rules kickoff show, D-Von Dudley
who, for many, many years, was told to get the tables
by the Dudley Boys, a ten-time champion
giving some advice to The New Day heading into this matchup.
And now a double-team by Cesaro and Nakamura.
[Corey] This could be over sooner than later.
What an uppercut by the Swiss cyborg!
[Michael] A great strategy, taking out Big E, at least momentarily
and allowing you to double-team Kofi Kingston.
[Corey] That's the outset of this matchup.
Cesaro and Nakamura put both members of The New Day
through a table weeks ago. They know what it takes.
[Michael] Cesaro setting up the table.
And now, Nakamura and Cesaro
perhaps closing in on tag team gold here tonight
with Kofi Kingston in trouble.
Big E, though! Back into the matchup.
[Corey] Nasty landing on the outside for Cesaro.
Nakamura in jeopardy now!
Now Big E looking to perhaps powerbomb Nakamura
through the table, helping The New Day to retain.
Kingston up to the top rope, double-team coming.
Shinsuke able to slip out
and now Cesaro. Look at the power!
Oh, my God, oh, my God!
[Michael] Cesaro with a military press on Kofi!
[Corey] Kofi able to escape!
Glancing blow with the kick, rocks Cesaro.
[Michael] And now Big E with a spear!
Almost drove Cesaro through the table!
-That was a matter of inches! -[Corey] That was a matter of luck.
Had Cesaro been half a step in the other direction
he would've been driven through the lumber.
And The New Day would retain.
[Michael] Kofi drives Nakamura off the apron on the other side.
And he'll join his partner Big E outside the ring.
That was so close to Cesaro, going through the table
off the spear of Big E.
Now New Day with yet another opportunity
[crowd pounds]
Going through a table would count anywhere
not just in the ring.
Outside will help as well, and Cesaro now, on top of the table!
And Kingston and Big E continue the assault.
[Corey] Cesaro needs to get off the table immediately
as soon as humanly possible.
Cesaro and Nakamura are in…
very real danger of losing this one.
-Let's go, let's go, Kofi! -[Michael] What is Big E have planned?
Kofi building a head full of steam
launched up over the top. Wow!
But Shinsuke and Cesaro beat Kingston with a table!
[Corey] Kofi hesitated just a moment too long, and paid for it.
[Michael] And then, a kick by Nakamura. Big E's been neutralized yet again.
And now it could be Nakamura and Cesaro's opportunity.
-[breathes heavily] -[crowd cheers]
Gonna drag Kofi back to his feet
Kofi realizing the danger he's in, trying to somehow squirm away.
And now the double-team by Nakamura and Cesaro again.
[Corey] New champions!
[Michael] And Big E trying to save Kofi Kingston
he drags him back into the ring.
Still outnumbered, Big E continuing to fight. Oh, my god!
Sickening thud to the jaw, the kick by Cesaro.
[crowd boos]
[Michael] A nastiness from Cesaro and Nakamura tonight.
[Corey] Cesaro knows how to beat New Day.
He's done it on many occasions.
[Michael] Big E is… recently as this past Friday night on Smack Down.
[groans]
[Corey] Big E picking up speed!
[Michael] Oh! Bet my double knees.
Cesaro and Sheamus, once a member of the great tag team known as The Bar
had some great rivalries with New Day over the years.
[Corey] Cesaro, one of the smartest competitors
never makes the same mistake twice. Always learns from his experience.
[Michael] What power by Big E
a sliding knee by Nakamura!
[crowd boos]
And now Shinsuke heads outside the ring
to drag out yet another table in this match.
[crowd pounds]
[Corey] About to see the creativity the artist is capable of
involving these tables, will it pay off?
[crowd pounds]
[Michael] Shinsuke setting up the table
in front of the announce desk.
[Corey] Throughout history, these tables don't necessarily cooperate.
[Michael] Kofi now, up to the top rope, and Kingston!
With a trust fall, right across the back of the neck!
[Kofi] Let's go!
[Corey] Kofi all fired up, Big E just launched Cesaro
halfway aCross the ring.
New Day fighting their way back into this one.
[Michael] Big E stomping away on Cesaro.
Kofi Kingston now, with Nakamura here at ringside.
And Kingston with a kick! Right to the ribs.
[Corey] Hear all the wind leave Nakamura's body
as we look once more at Kofi taking it to the skies
flattening the artist.
[crowd pounds]
[Michael] Nakamura is down and out, Cesaro as well.
Now, The New Day, looking for yet another table.
How many tables do these guys need?
[Corey] As many as absolutely necessary, Cole.
A little construction
solely for the purpose of destruction.
[Michael] Oh, my goodness, elevated tables now.
One on top of the other!
[Kofi] You all brought this on yourself! We don't want to show this side!
[Corey] Kofi doesn't like to show this side
but it's necessary in this environment.
Let's go!
[Michael] Kingston barking out orders here.
You brought this out of us!
And Shinsuke back out to the apron, trying to save Cesaro
from being suplexed through the table. Kingston back in the middle of it now.
[Corey] Shinsuke acting as a human anchor
to prevent Cesaro from being launched through the tables.
[Michael] Perilous moment for Big E, Cesaro and…
gaining the upper hand. Kofi launched over the top rope.
And Big E now! Trying to hang on, close to the table!
Cesaro bouncing Big E off the post, and dumping him
off of the back of his head and shoulder and neck in the ring.
[Corey] All of Big E's own body weight, crushing down on top of him.
[Michael] Big E was looking for the Big Ending perhaps.
Cesaro with a double-leg takedown.
And now, the swing!
Oh! And a kick right to the temple
by Shinsuke Nakamura!
[Corey] It's not the swing that hurts, it's the stomp at the end.
[Michael] And Kingston now, heading up to the top rope
Shinsuke down!
Cesaro down!
Kingston building momentum now, the former WWE champion
driving Nakamura off the apron.
[Corey] Shinsuke flipping the table on the outside
realizing how dangerous the situation was.
[Michael] Smart move by shin, as Kofi Kingston takes out Nakamura.
-Now-- oh! Was that a headbutt? -Let's go!
[Corey] I don't know what part of Kofi's anatomy collided with Cesaro
but whatever it was, didn't feel good for the Swiss cyborg.
[Michael] Kingston launching himself off the steel steps.
And now, Kofi Kingston fired up.
[Corey] Cesaro trying to cover up in the corner.
[crowd applauds]
[Michael] And Kofi is as ornery as I've ever seen him tonight.
[Corey] Kofi and Big E are back into a corner
forced into this situation by Cesaro and Shinsuke.
[Michael] And now Kofi, looking down at the double tables.
-Somehow looking to take Cesaro. -[Corey] Uh-oh!
[Michael] And Cesaro, the power hanging on.
And a kick by Nakamura to Kofi Kingston!
And now Cesaro with Kofi Kingston up high! Double-team!
[Corey] Is he gonna do it?!
[Michael] Through the tables! Cesaro and Nakamura win the tag titles!
[announcer] Here are your winners
and the new Smack Down Tag Team champions!
Cesaro
and Shinsuke Nakamura!
[Michael] The wreckage at ringside.
Cesaro puts Kingston through, not one
but two tables!
And Cesaro and Nakamura
the new Smack Down Tag Team champions.
[Corey] You asked if Cesaro and Nakamura had The New Day's number
the answer now, a resounding
undeniable
absolute yes!
Look at the closing moments.
The carnage ensued
from the top rope through, not one
but two tables.
Cesaro securing victory.
A crushing…
blow, through not one, but two tables.
[epic music]
[Corey] The wreckage at ringside tells the tale.
The New Day's eighth tag team title reign
brought to an abrupt halt
by the new kingpins
on the Smack Down Tag Team division.
[epic music continues]
There it is, Cole.
-Show the respect. -I see it.
How do we look, Cole?
Huh?
What did I tell you? We're tired of being overlooked.
-Action speaks louder than words. -Indeed.
And your people will talk too much!
Me and Shin, our actions do the talking. [in German] We are the total package.
[speaking German]
You guys earned it.
Cesaro…
[Corey] Congratulations to the new champions
as we look once more
in how it all came crashing to an end.
[Michael] They demanded respect
and they earned that respect tonight.
Nakamura and Cesaro
overlooked no more, Corey.
They win the tables match.
They win the Smack Down Tag Team
Championships.
[epic music]
Okay, repeat after me.
Believe and you can achieve.
Believe and I can achieve.
Tonight, I will beat Bayley!
Tonight I will beat Bayley.
I have faith in myself.
Tonight is my night.
Oh, thanks guys. I feel my confidence is getting up.
I feel good now.
It's because you're ready.
I'm ready! I'm ready!
We believe in you.
Guys…
I'm feeling invincible!
I'm feeling good!
-Let's go. -Let's go.
But…
even if we lose
we will still be your friends.
You got it. You can do it.
-I got it! -You got it!
I got it! Let's go!
I can do it!
[Michael] It's time for the first of the two women's championship matches.
What an opportunity for Nikki Cross
who won a fatal four-way match to earn this chance here tonight.
And Corey, for Nikki, she's putting a lot of pressure on herself tonight.
Thirteen years ago, she left her homeland of Scotland
left her family, left her mom, left her friends
and came here for this moment.
She said this is why she's here
a chance to finally win the gold.
[Corey] That's good, Cole
but, unfortunately, this is WWE
and fairy tales don't always come true.
It was nice of Alexa Bliss to do her Tony Robbins impression
to try to get Nikki ready for this matchup.
But Nikki is about to compete
against the most dominant women's champion we've seen
in many, many moons.
[Michael] Nikki admitted to me she's got to get out of her own head
She had issues with Bayley and Sasha Banks recently.
She has to forget all about that
and focus on tonight.
And here come the Golden Role Models.
Bayley is the current Smack Down Women's Champion.
She has held that title
for an historic 282 days
over a combined two reigns, she's been champion for 422.
Also, Corey, she is one-half of the tag team champs
with her partner there, Sasha Banks.
[Corey] When you talk about momentum ad nauseam here in WWE, Cole
and nobody has ridden the way of a momentum into a full pledge
Tsunami of dominance
the way that Bayley and Sasha Banks have in recent months.
You cannot argue with the results.
Bayley knows how to win.
[Michael] How important was the matchup Friday tag team match
where Bayley used leverage with her feet on the ropes
to pin Nikki Cross, heading into tonight.
[Corey] It was of the utmost importance because it skyrocketed the confidence
of an already confident women's champion
and it may have shattered the psyche…
of Nikki Cross.
[Michael] Bayley defends the women's championship later tonight.
Sasha Banks battles Asuka for the Raw Women's title.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the Smack Down Women's Championship!
Introducing the challenger
accompanied by Alexa Bliss
from Glasgow, Scotland
Nikki Cross!
[crowd cheers]
And her opponent, accompanied by Sasha Banks
she is one-half of the WWE Women's Tag Team champions
and she is the Smack Down Women's Champion…
Bayley!
Yeah!
[Michael] Say what you may about Bayley and Banks
but there's nobody hotter in WWE today.
That's right!
[Corey] I completely agree.
While Nikki, maybe the sentimental favorite
in this particular matchup
Nikki's reckless style could be her downfall.
Bayley is cagey, Bayley has evolved
into a whole different other level of competitor.
One mistake, Bayley's gonna win this one.
[Michael] So, Nikki Cross versus Bayley for the Smack Down Women's Championship.
As an athlete, sometimes, like Nikki is doing
you might pressure yourself too much.
[Corey] And as we just saw into the final moments of preparation
before this matchup, Nikki's still looking for that last boost of confidence
something Bayley has an overabundance of.
[Michael] A slap by Bayley to Nikki.
-And perhaps a-- -Come on, Nikki!
Bayley not taking Nikki too seriously in the early going of this matchup.
[Corey] I disagree with you, Bayley takes all of her opponents very seriously.
Maybe it's bravado that she's putting forth
to get inside the head of an already shaken Nikki Cross.
[Michael] Or maybe she's just an ego-maniac.
-Don't stop. -[woman] They believe in you.
Come on. Do it for Alexa. Do it for Alexa.
Bayley is trying to goad Nikki in to getting overzealous
making that first mistake. Bayley knows that's all it's gonna take.
Just one.
Pull out that nutty Nikki or crazy Nikki persona
as you mentioned, forced Nikki into a mistake then capitalized.
Nikki though, backing-- Oh!
Into the corner, and a slap of her own.
And the champ didn't like that too much.
[Corey] Blatant disrespect from the challenger
Nikki starting to feel it.
And now Nikki into the corner, burying Bayley
Nikki looking for a running bulldog, Bayley hanging on for now.
[Michael] A neck breaker from out of nowhere!
Nikki, for the title, almost had her, and a kickout!
Nikki Cross almost from out of nowhere, won the Smack Down Women's title!
[Corey] Bayley realizing she just came dangerously close
to being knocked off as Smack Down Women's Champion.
Nikki, now with a tornado using the apron to her advantage
understands champion has advantage
needs to pin or tap Bayley.
Gets her back in the ring.
Nikki, top rope
looking for a crossbody, lateral press to win the title
and a kickout by Bayley at two.
Bayley needs to regroup somehow.
Nikki back to the top rope again.
[Corey] Nikki offering the champion no quarter. Nikki from the top rope!
[Michael] Another crossbody into a lateral press
for a second time!
And another near fall for the challenger!
[Corey] That great strategy by Nikki
not allowing Bayley to get her wits about her in any capacity.
[Michael] Nikki looking to go up to the top
and Bayley wise, as the champion
or maybe not, Nikki just flattened the champ
outside the ring
and Nikki Cross is in complete control!
[Corey] What a sickening thud upon impact
[Michael] Cross just driving the champion into the outside.
-[Corey] Oh! -[Michael] Just like that
Bayley, driving Nikki, ribs first, to the apron
and now, into the barricade.
The champ is taking back over.
[crowd boos]
Perhaps, Nikki got a bit overconfident
celebrating a bit too prematurely
and Bayley took advantage.
And into the ring now, cover on the challenger
and a kickout by Nikki, still in it.
-[Corey] Look. -[Michael] Listen.
[Corey] Nikki Cross going splat into the forge at ringside.
-Do you think you're all confident? -[referee] Come on. Get out of the corner.
[Bayley] We believe in you.
Get off-- One!
[Michael] And now, Bayley and Banks just mocking Cross.
[Corey] How deliberant the champions motions
has been since suffering
that frenzy of offense from that Nikki Cross.
[Michael] There's always Sasha Banks to worry about.
Outside the ring. Off the elbow
cover again, and Nikki managed to squirm away with a shoulder up.
It's just been such an incredible number of months here
for Bayley as champion.
She just keeps getting better and better every week.
So confident.
If you're an opponent, Corey, you know you've gotta try
to put away Bayley early.
This will happen, domination.
[referee] To the corner.
[Corey] Bayley's evolved, grown into a seasoned competitor
here in WWE.
She has the ability to capitalize on any mistake
any shortcoming that an opponent has.
[Michael] She's knocked off everybody.
Snap there, takedown on Cross. Cover now, and a kickout again.
Bayley, at this point now, just smothering the challenger.
[crowd pounds and applauds]
[Corey] Chinlock applied by the champion. That's a smart move by Bayley.
Take a moment, refocus, re-strategize
while continuing to wear down the challenger.
[Michael] Many people said that perhaps…
it's too early for Nikki to be champion, that she's not quite ready.
I don't buy into that, this could be her night.
[crowd pounds and applauds]
[Corey] A lot of people agree with that
and they would be wrong.
[referee] Get her back here.
[Michael] And now Nikki looking to drag Bayley out
caught up in the apron now.
-And Bayley! Look at Bayley go! -[crowd boos]
[Corey] Raining down forearms on the challenger
Bayley in no hurry.
[Michael] Yeah. We're doing--
-Both straps in back of my head. -[referee] Play!
-You didn't hear it, Cole. -The tattoo, yeah.
[Corey] It's not a tattoo. It's fantastic barbershop work
[Michael] Those straps is what it says.
-[Corey] I can read. -[Michael] Nikki's on the other side.
[Bayley] Oh, my God!
[Michael] Nikki went underneath the ring
and now Bayley, baseball slide, got caught
and here comes Nikki!
And Nikki has got Bayley caught, the champ's in trouble.
[crowd pounds]
Now Nikki back up to the apron.
And-- Oh! Hanging Bayley up on the second rope.
[Corey] Right out of Bayley's own book.
Oh, look at this, Nikki with some mind games
trying to mock Bayley.
[Michael] Yeah, the old Bayley. The elbow in the corner to follow it up.
And uh-oh, Bayley looking maybe for a belly-to-belly on Nikki Cross!
[Corey] Cross is fighting.
able to fight her way out
looking for a crossface!
-[Michael] If the champ taps, Nikki wins. -Are you tapping?
Wait for me!
[Michael] Sasha Banks, you saw a frantic look in her eyes.
And now Bayley, though, belly-to-belly to Nikki Cross!
For the win to retain the championship!
And a kickout by Nikki at two!
[Corey] Wow!
[Michael] Now the gout starts to form in the champ's head.
[Corey] The look in Bayley's eyes, certainly a possibility
or Nikki Cross may just incur the wrath, the full wrath
of the Smack Down Women's Champion.
[woman] Come on, Nikki!
[Michael] Nikki, trying to stay in this matchup.
[crow pounds]
Cross still looks concerned at ringside, although Bayley has regained control.
-[man] Out of the corner, -[man 2] Bayley. Get her out.
Let's go.
Now up to the top rope, and Bayley's gonna follow her there.
[Corey] Bayley's needs to step up the level of offense she's pouring on.
This could do it!
[crowd pounds]
[Corey] Bayley with a superplex.
[Michael] Hook to the leg. Inside leg this time. Nikki kicks at two
and this match continues.
[Corey] Very impressive showing of tenacity from Nikki Cross.
[Michael] Will Bayley get frustrated?
I'm not an idiot!
From behind now! Nikki scooping her up to win the championship
and a kickout at two!
[Corey] You almost cost Bayley the championship, Cole.
[Michael] She should mind her own business
and a kickout by Nikki at two.
When will frustration set in for Bayley?
She hasn't been able to put Nikki away
she's throwing everything she's got at the challenger.
[Corey] Bayley knows the deep waters of a matchup.
The longer this one goes, the better it favors Bayley.
[crowd pounds]
And you got moral support on the outside
in whatever capacity.
[Michael] That's nice. Bayley got caught
trying to slide around the ring post.
And she was just bounced off the post.
[crowd cheers]
[Corey] Just Bayley's ribcage made contact.
Bayley swung the champion around.
Can Cross capitalize?
[Michael] Bayley back to her feet. Now back to the midsection goes Nikki.
Nikki focusing on the ribs
and now a thrust right to the throat of the champion.
And Bayley, Nikki steps underneath…
Oh!
Is it enough?
Nikki down, Bayley down as well.
Critical point in this championship match.
[crowd pounds]
[Corey] Nikki Cross unable to capitalize in this instance
[woman] Come on!
[Corey] Nikki taking a lot of time here.
Bayley with some pretty substantial time to recover.
[Michael] Nikki off the ropes, using the ropes for momentum.
Couple of times now, Bayley knocked down.
[Corey] Here comes the frenzy, once again
that Bayley has tried so desperately to avoid.
[Michael] Basement dropkick by Nikki Cross.
Looking for the running bulldog. And this time, she connects.
Bayley could be out, Corey. This could be Nikki Cross' moment!
[Corey] Looking for the exclamation point.
[Michael] Nikki heading up top, Cross
taking her time here to make sure the champ's in position.
Bayley ducks underneath, Nikki rolls through.
[Corey] Go behind by Nikki Cross. Ripcord.
[Michael] Oh! And Bayley's down.
Nikki for the championship. Is this enough?
Hook to the leg, and a kickout at two again.
Another near fall by the challenger.
But Nikki can't get frustrated, she can't get upset
she's gotta stay focused.
[Corey] This is relatively unclear territory for Nikki Cross.
She might have doubt creep into her mind.
The more and more offense she delivers and Bayley continues to survive
the champion continues to thrive.
[Michael] A nice back suplex, Bayley landed high in the back of the neck
and now Nikki, yet again, trying the same thing
for a second time to Bayley.
Here's the cover on the champ. Hooks the leg
and Bayley, and again, a near fall for the challenger.
[crowd pounds and applauds]
Corey, what does Nikki have to do to keep the champ down?
[Corey] I don't know, and neither does Nikki.
There's a reason Bayley's been champion for as long as she has.
It's not because people love her.
Bayley knows how to survive.
Bayley knows how to win.
Does Nikki have that same winner's instinct?
[Michael] Nikki was trying to go high-risk again
and the veteran Bayley knocked off her perch
on the top rope and now a running knee.
Cover by Bayley to retain the championship
hooks the leg, wraps the arm, but still a two
Cross kicks out.
[Corey] Just barely, there's not much gas left
in Nikki Cross' tank.
A very lackluster escape from the pinfall attempt.
[woman] Come on, Nikki!
But again, still a look of concern on the face of Banks.
[Michael] Oh, God! Bayley hit hard! Bayley may be out
can Nikki take advantage?
[crowd cheers]
[Corey] Bayley came in with a full head of steam.
Nikki out of the way just in time.
We are back at even for the moment.
[Michael] Now Nikki with the neckbreaker off the apron.
[Corey] Can Nikki get Bayley back inside the ring?
You can't win the championship by count-out.
[Michael] Bayley is in deep, deep trouble!
The championship reign could be coming to an end
because of this. Boom! Neckbreaker!
[crowd pounds]
[Corey] The onus is on Nikki. Nikki has to get Bayley back in the ring.
She can get counted out and still retain her championship.
[Michael] Bayley into the ring, and Nikki as well.
And a big clothesline by Bayley.
[Corey] This shows you what a Valiant champion Bayley is.
[Michael] Cover now by Cross, to win the title!
Oh, and a two-and-a-half!
[Corey] I don't know, but I believe those things, Cole.
I'm just tired of Bayley yelling at us.
[crowd applauds]
[Michael] And Nikki she has to focus here.
She's got the champ on the ropes.
[Corey] That was a look of frustration, a look of doubt
on the face of the challenger.
[crowd pounds]
She has exhausted her arsenal.
[Michael] And look at Sasha Banks now.
-[crowd pounds and applauds] -[Sasha] Get out off of her!
[Michael] Now Banks up on the apron.
[Sasha] You can't do that!
Stop it, ladies Get down.
[Michael] Oh, my god. Sasha handed those…
The thing that says "boss" on her hand.
-To Bayley! With a faceplant to Cross! -[referee] One, two, three.
[Michael] Thanks to Sasha, Bayley retains!
And don't tell me you didn't see that!
[announcer] Here is your winner and still
the Smack Down Women's Champion…
Bayley!
[Corey] I'll be honest with you
I was distracted by Alexa Bliss, and Sasha on the outside
but that ring, that boss ring that Sasha carries around with her
it was an equivalent of brass knuckles.
[Michael] And she handed those to Bayley, the referee was distracted
Bayley used them to retain the championship.
And this historic 282-day reign
continues for Bayley!
[Corey] It pays to have friends like Sasha Banks.
Once again
for the Smack Down Women's Champion.
[Corey] And you have to feel sorry for Nikki Cross.
Here it is, a blatant hand-off of that boss--
[Corey] It wasn't blatant, that was clever!
[Michael] You can see it on Bayley's right hand!
[Corey] I blinked and I missed it. Yeah, it's slow-motion.
[Michael] Right to the ribs!
[Corey] Right in the body
driving all the wind out of Nikki Cross.
That was expertly executed
by Bayley with an assist
from "the boss" Sasha Banks.
Can the night get any better for this duo?
Because it might!
[Michael] Yeah, Sasha Banks has an opportunity
to win the Raw Women's Championship
later on tonight.
Can you imagine those two with all the gold?
[Corey] We might not have to imagine, it could be a reality.
[Michael] And Nikki is hurt. You have to feel so terribly sorry
for that young woman.
Nikki Cross gave it her all tonight to be beaten in that manner.
[Corey] And Nikki Cross brought her A game tonight
put up a hell of a fight. But unfortunately
couldn't get the job done
against the golden role models.

[horror voice] Good evening, my frightened fireflies.
And welcome back
to the Horror Show at Extreme Rules!
[laughing hysterically]
It has been a ghastly evening so far.
But the worst is yet to come.
As I present to you the most horrifying
revolting, disgusting footage
known to man.
[groans]
[announcer] Welcome
to the first-ever
Smack Down Karaoke Showdown!
Hey… Hey, you stupid rabbit.
You know that was the wrong tape.
I understand what you're trying to do. You know what you did.
You knew--
[horror voice] Don't divert your eyes.
Don't stifle your bloodcurdling screams.
You are about to bear witness
to something never before seen.
[monstrous laughter]
A little lost sheep
that became a great big monster
coming back home!
Home to the swamp that made him.
Home to his creator
who put the whole world in his hands!
Home to a past
that he will not be able to escape.
[monstrous laughter]
Yowie-wowie!
[evil laughter]
[horror music]
The Wyatt Swamp Fight
still to come here tonight, the universal champion, Braun Strowman
steps back to where it all began
with Bray Wyatt.
That is still to come tonight.
We have an update regarding The Monday Night raw side of things.
The United States Championship Match that is scheduled for tonight
will not be taking place.
The United States Champion, Apollo Crews
was set to defend tonight against MVP.
Apollo Crews was here earlier tonight, and very willing
to defend his United States championship.
But what we understand is that Apollo did not pass his pre-match physical
because of an injury sustained last month
at the hands of Bobby Lashley.
Bulging disc.
["I'm Coming" playing]
[Tom] So, MVP obviously very pleased with this outcome.
We'll find out exactly what's on his mind.
This is what happened last month on the VIP lounge.
If you wanna stay the United States champion
you can do it for a very, very long time.
But you won't be able to do that
without me in your corner.
I got to this point in my career without any of your help.
I do appreciate your offer, but my answer is still no.
[crowd cheers]
[Tom] This was after Apollo just competed
in a matchup against Shelton Benjamin.
MVP had been at ringside through much of that match.
And, watch this, from behind
Bobby Lashley attacking Apollo Crews with the full nelson.
[Byron] A full setup by MVP and Bobby Lashley
and doctor dating the United States champion
into the hurt business.
[crowd boos]
[Tom] And it's because of the damage done from the full nelson
the bulging disc, Byron, as you said
Apollo Crews not able to compete tonight
in defense of his United States championship against MVP.
[Byron] MVP and Bobby Lashley very pleased.
Now, let that be a lesson
to anyone foolish enough
to step into the ring with "the almighty",
Bobby Lashley.
Nah, you shut up.
Now, wait a minute.
Unfortunately
Bobby, you and I have our own problem that we need to come to terms with.
You cannot
apply that full nelson
with so much strength and power, to the extent
that you injure a man so badly
that it inhibits the furtherance
of my career.
[crowd boos]
Nonetheless
due…
to forfeit…
your new United States champion is…
[crowd shouts]
It looks good on you.
[crowd boos]
-[crowd shouts] -[Tom] What is happening?
[crowd boos]
[Samoa] It's as simple as that.
M…
V…
P!
-[crowd boos] -["I'm Coming" playing]
[Tom] So, MVP, he has a championship made in the first place.
Now, he's gonna claim that via forfeit.
He's the new champion.
[Samoa] Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
There's only one man out here holding that championship gold
and it isn't Apollo Crews.
[Byron] MVP is living in a world of his own.
[Tom] I guess in MVP's mind, thanks to Bobby Lashley's damage done
to the current United States champion, Apollo Crews
MVP believes himself to be the new United States champion.
I can tell.
[Byron] Apollo Crews, gentlemen, is still the United States champion.
["I'm Coming" continues]
["The Greatest Show" playing, by SATV Music]
["The Greatest Show" continues]
[Tom] We are streaming live on the WWE network tonight
from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
This is The Horror Show at Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View event.
Still to come tonight, the WWE Championship
the Raw Women's Championship as well will be defended
and, of course, the first-ever Wyatt Swamp Fight.
But coming up next, it is something more deeply personal
that we have seen in quite some time
as a part of Monday Night Raw.
It is Seth Rollins going one-on-one against Rey Mysterio.
It has gotten so bad
that we have come upon the first-ever
eye for an eye match.
The only way to win
is to extract one of your opponent's eyes out.
It is extreme and it will be horrific.
[monstrous scream]
[Rollins] An eye for an eye.
An eye for an eye.
What does that even mean? What does that even mean?
You know what that means. An eye for an eye, I know what it means!
I'm trying to understand
how we got to this point.
[sinister sounds]
[Rollins] Rey Mysterio sacrificed himself
for the future of Monday Night Raw.
[epic music]
Damn you for everything you brought my family through.
But something needs to be done about that.
Dominick is an adult.
He can either stand by me…
Someone from this family.
…or he can become a sacrifice as well.
[Dominick] An eye…
[Tom] Dominick all over Seth Rollins!
…for an eye.
[Tom] The Monday Night Messiah has messed with the wrong family!
[Rollins] I want you to know, Rey, that whatever becomes your son
that is on you.
[silence]
[Rey] Seth Rollins…
tried to end my career.
[tense pounding music]
[Rey] Terrorizing my family.
[Tom] Rollins is gonna make Rey watch! [Samoa] Don't do it!
[Tom] Carrillo running off The Messiah!
[Rey] You put your hands on my son
you cross every line there is to Cross.
[Tom] A stomp to Carrillo!
Now, it's my turn.
[tense pounding music]
[Rollins] Extreme rules is called The Horror Show.
That's exactly what it's going to be.
I'm gonna make a sacrifice of my own.
[Rollins] I will be forced to rip air and gauge.
[Rey] You're walking into a match with two eyes.
Until he is completely blind.
But you'll be carried out with only one.
-[Tom] No forgiveness! -Come on!
[Tom] No atonement! It is ordained by fate!
-Eye. -For an eye.
[music ends]
[monstrous scream]
[bell rings]
The following is an Eye For An Eye Match!
The only way to win this match
is to extract one of your opponent's eyes.
[crowd shouts]
[epic celestial music]
[Tom] Gentlemen, I truly cannot believe
what we are about to witness.
[Samoa] We knew this moment was coming.
And now that we're here seems a little bit too surreal
that we're actually going through this.
["The Rising" playing, by def rebel]
[announcer] Introducing first from Davenport, Iowa
weighing in at 217 pounds
The Monday Night Messiah…
Seth Rollins!
[Tom] The irony in all this
is the fact that Seth Rollins' own that in the history of WWE
never before has a match like this ever been allowed.
It is so sadistic, so barbaric.
But it's Seth Rollins that drove Rey Mysterio to this point
that drove Rey Mysterio
to make this challenge to The Monday Night Messiah.
[Byron] Yeah, in a horrific way.
Seth Rollins has to take responsibility for this.
-A couple of weeks ago-- -[Tom] Oh, my God.
Rollins pulling pliers out of his jacket.
["The Rising" continues]
[Samoa] This is…
[Byron] I don't even know how you describe this.
How do you describe what Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio
are willing to go through?
[Samoa] You know, this is intimate hatred.
These are two men who found no other recourse
but to settle their differences with this!
[Tom] Seth Rollins brought pliers to a WWE match.
-Just think about that! -[Byron] This a match?
[Tom] Exactly!
["Booyaka 619" playing, by P.O.D.]
[crowd cheers]
["Booyaka 619" continues]
[Tom] And Rollins awaiting Rey Mysterio.
Finally, this will be settled. Wait a minute, Mysterio!
[Samoa] We won't have to wait long!
The bell rang and Mysterio getting a jump on Rollins!
And now, Rey Mysterio was setting up for the 619!
And Rollins dragging Mysterio outside the ring!
[Byron] Rey able to catch Rollins by surprise.
[Tom] Rey was trying to throw Rollins into the steps just like-- wow!
That is how Rey Mysterio's eye was damaged in the first place
at the hands of Rollins.
[man] Come on, Rey.
[Samoa] Fantastic strategy by Rey .
If you're gonna go into these encounters, you wanna start like that.
Oh, no! we're starting early!
[Tom] Rollins is going after the uninjured eye
I guess with the left eye of Rey Mysterio.
[Byron] Whether you're Seth Rollins, whether you're Rey Mysterio,
your life will be altered permanently if you lose this match.
[Tom] A kick right to the hamstring by Rey.
[Samoa] He's going!
[Tom] To the eye! Rey. Remember what Mysterio is fighting for
not only did Seth Rollins try to damage the eye of Rey Mysterio
but Rollins tried to do the same to his son, Dominick.
[Tom] Oh, post!
[Byron] Now, this is what Seth Rollins has driven Rey Mysterio to.
In his 30-plus year career--
[Tom] Oh, no, Mysterio has the pliers!
Mysterio has the pliers and now, Rollins trying to escape!
Gentlemen, this is all legal. There's only one rule in this match.
[Samoa] Uh-oh! -[Tom] Pulling out a table.
[Byron] It's worse than no rules. When you're knocked out, it might stop.
Even if you're medically injured.
They will not stop until somebody gets somebody's eye out of the socket.
[Tom] Byron, what is that?
A piece of steel?
[Samoa] One of the steels that--
That's a rebar.
[Tom] Oh, my god!
A kendo stick to the back of the neck!
[crowd shouts]
And this is all legal. There's only one way to win.
It's to extract one of your opponent's eyes out.
That's it, the rest of this is legal.
[Samoa] And the wheels are turning in Seth Rollins' head-- oh!
[Tom] With the handle of the kendo stick, and here comes Rey.
[Byron] There's no precedent for what we are seeing here.
As you said, Tom, everything is available, every option, every weapon.
[Tom] A Moonsault, Rey Mysterio trying to hang onto the top rope.
Oh!
Mysterio measuring Rollins. Off the top and sets him up!
-And Mysterio looking for it again! -[Samoa] We might go to San Diego!
[Tom] Mysterio has promised a 619 for Rollins
Rollins rolling out of the ring.
Rollins is not safe. Oh!
[Tom] Joe, you said it a few moments ago.
One of these situations, we've never seen anything like this.
How do you prepare for this? How do you bring yourself
to do what one of these two men will have to do to you?
[Samoa] There is no preparation for this.
Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins, they just have to resign themselves
that they're going to permanently maim their opponent.
[Tom] Off the bottom rope, Rey was looking for the hurricanrana.
[groans]
And Rollins… Rollins using his strength here.
-Oh, no, no. -[Samoa] This is not good!
[Tom] Oh, no! A falcon arrow under the apron!
[crowd pounding]
[Byron] Oh, my gosh.
[Samoa] And Rey Mysterio is in a very, very bad way.
[Tom] Falcon arrow into the hardest part of the ring.
Watch this, where steel meets wood.
The back of Rey Mysterio--
[Samoa] There's no wood on that part of the ring.
That is all steel.
[Tom] Rey Mysterio is hurt.
[crowd cheers]
[man] Get up, Rey.
[crowd boos]
[Tom] Seth is going for the left eye! Seth is going for the left eye!
trying to tear and gouge at the left eye of Rey Mysterio!
-[Rollins] I'm gonna get that eye. -[Samoa] Rey needs to roll and cover.
I'm gonna get that eye!
-[woman] Come on, Rey! -[crowd pounds]
[Tom] This whole situation-- oh! So barbaric, so vile.
[Samoa] Oh, watch that rebar, Seth Rollins got that rebar!
[Tom] Into the post!
[crowd pounds and cheers]
[Tom] Some sort of separation.
-[Byron] Into the ribs! -[Samoa] That's into the kidneys
That's a terrible place to be hit.
[Byron] Rollins eyeing the steel steps again
what started this whole situation.
[Tom] You got to believe Rey Mysterio weary of that
trying to roll away from the steps.
And now Rollins! Rollins trying to do the same to the left eye!
[Samoa] He wants to grind this out slow.
Rollins wants to grind that eyeball.
[Tom] Oh my god!
Against the steel steps--
Oh! and a shot to the inside of the leg
might have gone low, but it's all--
-[Samoa] I would've had it go low. -[Tom] Right. Why not?
There's no shame in what Rey Mysterio would do to survive for--
Good Lord!
[crowd shouts]
And Rollins tossing Mysterio back inside the ring
and grabs the kendo stick.
[crowd pounds]
[Samoa] Rollins doing some drilling.
Oh my gosh.
[Tom] Going for the eye. Going for the eye again!
[crowd pounds]
Rey trying to fight for dear life. Trying to drive that tip of the eye.
The tip of the kendo stick rather into the left eye.
Oh, gosh. Did you hear the thud?
[Rey screams in pain]
[crowd boos]
[Samoa] Rey Mysterio's eye
might not be the worst injured thing tonight.
[man] Come one, Rey.
Sick thud of Rey Mysterio's body.
[Tom] Listen to this. Oh, my God!
You son of a bitch!
Shut up!
[crowd pounds]
None of this would've happened-- get out of the way.
[crowd pounds]
None of this happened if you don't just listen.
[Samoa] Seth Rollins heading to this tool box.
You're mine, Rey.
[Tom] No, no! Not the point of the chair!
The point of the chair. Rollins driving it into the eye!
[crowd pounds]
Oh, no, no, he's got Mysterio pinned!
Rollins is gonna stab the eye.
I'm gonna get you.
[Tom] Rollins trying to rip the eye out and Mysterio fights back!
[Samoa] That's what Rey needs to be doing. He needs to be pulling out all the stops.
[Tom] And Rey's got the chair!
right to the midsection of Rollins.
[man] Hit him, Rey, hit him. Hit him.
[Tom] Oh, God! Get the hell out of here guys.
[crowd cheers]
Going for the eye again!
-He had a pen in his hands! -[Samoa] It's my pen!
What is that? Oh, my God!
-Pulling things out of his toolbox. -[Samoa] Rey needs to keep moving.
[Tom] Into the point of the desk!
[Samoa] Wait, wait, did he get him?
[crowd pounds]
I'm okay.
[Tom] At least Rey bought himself some time to try to recover.
Into the right eye of Rollins. Watch this, the drop--
Right into the point of the-- Right into the point of the desk.
Again, the sick, demented only rule of this match
is to extract one of your opponents eyes.
Rey, right there for it! Mysterio going for the eye!
Rey's trying to return the favor!
A kick to the face and Rollins able to fend off Mysterio for a moment.
You are only limited by your own sick and twisted imagination
when it comes to what you do-- oh!
-[crowd cheers] -[crowd boos]
[crowd pounds]
[Byron] Unforgiving steel chair!
[Tom] To the back of Rey Mysterio which allows Rollins to discover
another tool.
What's he reaching for? It looks like tag ropes.
[crowd pounds harder]
Oh my God!
He's tying up Mysterio's arm!
[crowd pounds and shouts]
[Samoa] No, this is not good at all.
[groans]
[Samoa] No!
[Tom] Going out to the left eye, again!
And Rollins was trying to tie Mysterio to the bottom rope.
[Byron] Oh! Watch out.
[Tom] A kick again to the face.
[crowd shouts]
And now Mysterio's got a whole-- Rollins into the post!
[man] Come on, Rey, you can do it. Get up.
[Byron] And right now, Rey Mysterio just doing
whatever possible to survive.
[Tom] Mysterio was defenseless here for a moment
was able to grab Rollins
and send him into the post!
Mysterio is now freed himself of the ropes in the bottom rope.
[crowd pounding and singing] ♪ Olé, olé, olé, olé ♪
[Samoa] And Rey needs to start turning it on.
This is his opportunity.
He's been on the back for this entire encounter
he needs to take advantage.
[Tom] Seth Rollins begging off.
Looking for mercy, there will be no mercy. That kendo stick to the ribs!
[moans in pain]
-[man] You suck, Seth Rollins! -[woman] Come on, Rey!
[Samoa] Between the rebar liver shot and kendo sticks to the ribs
I guarantee you, Rey Mysterio's gonna have quite the upset tummy later on.
[Tom] Oh, God! That is potentially the least of his worries, Joe
this is the gravest of circumstances we've seen in a WWE match.
[crowd cheers]
[Byron] You can say that both these men
Rey Mysterio and Seth Rollins may never be the same
after this encounter.
[Tom] Rollins wiping at this right eye
which went into the point of our announce desk earlier on.
[crowd shouts]
Don't-- What is he thinking? What is this?
[crowd pounds]
No, he--
kendo sick lodged…
to the steel post.
[Samoa] Not anymore, that's like a lance.
[crowd pounds harder]
Did not have to be this way, Rey.
It did not have to be this way.
Now get up.
[Tom] Oh my god, no, no, no, no!
Oh, Rey!
Rey was able to avoid the kendo stick!
-[Samoa] By a little. -[Tom] Oh!
A kick right to the face!
And now Rey Mysterio's going on top.
From the top, oh! Seated senton and down goes Mysterio!
And Rey Mysterio finding new life here in this match with Rollins!
Amazingly. Rey Mysterio picking up the pace.
[crowd pounds]
This is what Mysterio has to do, he has to continue this offense
against the Messiah.
Rey Mysterio ascending to the top rope one more time.
And the frog splash off the top
and Rey Mysterio continuing to do damage to Rollins.
Remember, that may put out Rollins in a regular encounter
but it will not here tonight.
Rey Mysterio still needs to go after that eye.
[Tom] And Rey Mysterio gets all of this.
The frog splash from the top
to the ribs of Seth Rollins.
Mysterio knows he's gonna wear down Rollins a lot more
if he wants to make an attempt to the eye.
[crowd pounds]
Going for the eye! Going for the eye now!
Went for the left eye of Rollins and a kick right back to that left eye.
-[Samoa] Oh! Here we go. -[Byron] Oh!
[Tom] And it appeared Rollins able to counter
in the midst to that move.
[Byron] Rollins was able to use Rey's momentum against him.
[woman] Come on, Rey!
[Tom] Watch one more time. All the way through
face first goes Rey Mysterio.
[woman] Come on, Rey!
[Tom] And now Seth Rollins can choose his next form of attack.
[crowd pounds]
[Byron] Look at Seth Rollins' eyes, he's stalking.
[Tom] And Rollins…
thinking about a stomp, thought about a stomp
that would've certainly incapacitate Mysterio!
And a tornado DDT!
[crowd pounds and applauds]
[Byron] Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins…
again, stepping into this unconventional environment…
where you could only win by one avenue.
Watch this. Rey Mysterio delivered a tornado DDT
but in his mind, Rey's got to be asking himself
how do I extract the eyeball…
Messiah, come on! Come one, you son of a bitch!
…out of the socket of Seth Rollins!
[Tom] To the back, Rollins trying to slow Mysterio.
Wait a minute.
Oh, God!
The kendo stick right across the eyes!
Oh, God!
[crowd pounds and applauds]
Back of the neck of Seth Rollins, propelling into the barricade.
[crowd pounds harder]
Imagine how far away Mysterio's willing to go
the threats of Seth Rollins.
Watch this again. Rey Mysterio launching Rollins into the barricade.
[Samoa] Now watch Rey!
[Tom] And now Mysterio one more time into the barricade!
[Byron] We said it before, the name of the game for Rey Mysterio
inflict as much damage as you can on Seth Rollins.
[Samoa] This may be Rey Mysterio's opportunity.
Rey needs to get to that toy box, and needs to get that eye now.
Oh!
[crowd pounds]
[Tom] Seth Rollins said Rey Mysterio will never watch his son be married.
Mysterio will never get to see his wife's face again.
Mysterio will never see another sunrise or sunset.
[Byron] All those words, Tom, fed the contempt.
[Tom] Fed the disdain that Rey Mysterio has for Seth Rollins.
-[Samoa] Joe, look at that. -[Byron] No.
[Tom] Making this even more dangerous, breaking apart the stick.
Look how sharp the kendo stick is.
Oh my god. And look at the--
Look at Mysterio's getting--
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Into the left eye! Into the left eye!
[Samoa] He's grinding it!
[Tom] Oh, God!
[Rollins moans in pain]
[Rollins] Get away from me.
[Samoa] Oh, a splinter bamboo, Tom.
[Rollins moans in pain]
[man] Come on, Rey.
[man] Get up!
And now Mysterio measuring Rollins, again, a 619!
To the damaged eye of Rollins!
[Byron] Rollins' eye, at the very least, he's got to be impaired.
Oh, you're absolutely right, Byron
the only rule Is to extract an eye.
[crowd pounds]
-[Samoa] That has to be enough, right? -[Rey] You're dying!
[Byron] Sadly enough, no, Joe, it's not enough.
It's not over yet.
You have to go all the way.
[Tom] Look at Mysterio. Mysterio is trying to set up Rollins.
And now Rollins!
Rollins trying to cover his damaged eye!
And Mysterio with a stomp!
[crowd pounds harder]
Mysterio with a stomp of his own
to Seth Rollins!
And Rollins is down
and this is a great chance for Rey Mysterio!
[crowd pounds]
What is going through the mind of Rey Mysterio at this moment?
[Samoa] He knows what he needs to do.
Rey needs to finish this once and for all.
You're gonna pay for it now.
What I felt.
You're no Messiah, Seth.
[crowd pounds harder and louder]
[Tom] And Mysterio showing the damage that Rollins has done.
Back to where this all began!
-Mysterio Trying to do to Rollins-- -[Samoa] He's gonna do it!
Trying to jab the eyeball into the point of the stairs.
Oh, my god!
[crowd boos]
[breathes heavily]
[crowd boos]
[Tom] And a kick right to the face!
Mysterio was pinned up against the barricade by that kick.
[Samoa] There was nowhere for his head to go.
All that force went into his skull.
[Tom] Look at the damage done to the right eye of Seth Rollins.
[Byron] This is the reality of what these two men are engaged in.
[Tom] And somehow, Rollins is back up to his feet.
Looks like he's trying to continue, and now Rollins--
[Samoa] Oh, no!
[Tom] And a stomp now to Mysterio!
[crowd boos]
[man] You suck, Seth.
Stop it. Seth Rollins experienced earlier this time…
[Samoa] Rey, he may be out.
[crowd shouts]
[Byron] Maybe not, Joe.
[crowd pounds]
[crowd boos]
You did this to yourself, Rey.
[groans]
Oh, no!
[Tom] No, no, no, not again!
Trying to drag the body of Rey Mysterio towards those steel steps.
Rey Mysterio trying to prevent it but Rollins…
Rollins holding Mysterio!
Trying to drive Mysterio into the steel!
[Byron] Rollins trying to sacrifice Rey Mysterio.
[Samoa] He's fighting it!
[Tom] The damaged right eye is exposed, trying to drive the
previously injured eye back into the steel!
[screams in pain]
God! No, no, no!
[crowd pounds]
[crowd pounds harder]
-[Rey] A doc! -[Seth] A doc! I need a doc!
-[bell rings] -[Tom] Oh, my God.
I need a doctor. The eye is out!
-[Samoa] It's out. -Rey!
[Rey screams in pain]
His eye is sticking out of his head!
It feels weird.
[Seth gagging]
[Doctor] Stay calm. Breathe slow.
Breathe slow, Rey.
[Doctor] Breath slow.
[Seth gagging louder]
Let's get him out of here.
Let's get him out.
Take deep breaths, slow breaths. Slow breaths.
[Rey moans in pain]
Okay. Keep pressure on it.
[Rey] What's going on?
[man] Get us help!
[total silence]
[Crowd begins to boo]
[crowd pounds harder]
[crowd] Rey! Rey! Rey!
[country rock music]
This was a long time ago.
We were at a party, drinking.
All of a sudden--
We're really going after it.
I look down and I'm like… why is Kurt attacking Vince?
Guys start coming around the car, trying to mess with us.
I've got my fair share of stories.
[heavy bell rings]
[country rock music]
[heavy bell rings]
We invite you to stay tuned on the WWE network
following The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
Undertaker, The Last Ride, Tales From The Deadman.
Gentlemen, I don't even know how to put into words what we just saw.
I think we all witnessed a special kind of evil out there tonight
and one hopes, you know, Rey Mysterio will recover.
Yeah.
Rey wanted so badly to avenge what Seth Rollins
had done to him and done to his family
and we can only truly hope that…
whatever Rey suffered here tonight
doesn't permanently alter his life.
[silence]
[crowd shouts from afar]
Bayley, you attained what some may say
was a nefarious victory earlier tonight
but after what just happened to Rey Mysterio
it must be hard to…
Look, I know.
I was a huge fan of Rey Mysterio growing up.
He's… you know, one of my favorites.
Look, Rey…
you have a long road ahead of you.
I don't know if you'll get a chance to watch us, I hope you do.
I just wanna tell you…
you're not seeing double vision
because I am still Bayley Dos Straps!
[silence]
And now let me introduce to you
my best friend, the legit boss
the standard, the blueprint
and soon-to-be two belts Banks,
Sasha Banks!
Now that's how you do an introduction, Kayla.
Do you have any more questions for us?
And no.
Because I'm the ultimate role model.
I already annihilated Nikki Cross today. I couldn't have beaten her any easier.
Go check on her, I think she's a little hurt.
And after Sasha beats Asuka tonight
we are gonna hold all the gold
and everything is gonna be right in the world!
That's exactly right, Kayla.
Go get the champagne and put it on ice and bring it ringside
because in just a couple of minutes, I will become two-belts Banks
which means it's time to celebrate.
-Bye. -Woo!
Got to go.
[silence]
[rock music]
[Tom] Bayley ought to be ashamed of herself.
Banks versus Asuka is still to come tonight.
Also, the first-ever Wyatt Swamp Fight
the universal champion Braun Strowman versus Bray Wyatt.
Will this finally end where it all began for Strowman and Wyatt?
It was years ago
in that fitted mob of a swamp
the evil incarnate
the split-tongued father of lies
the eater of worlds.
[sinister music]
The world is a very scary place.
[man] Stop lying to the children!
The ones who were meant to protect you are the ones that you should fear most.
All that you shall leave behind
is smoke
desolation
and damnation.
[sinister voice]
I became his horseman
the bringer of pain and pestilence.
The apocalypse.
I loved…
every…
second of it.
[suspense music]
[Braun] I've done everything in my power
to lock…
that side of me away.
Here comes the monster among men!
Strowman is annihilating everything in his path.
A monster of a universal champion!
[Braun] For years, his siren songs were silenced with a whisper.
But then…
What's wrong, brother?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
[sinister ambiance music]
Now, in order for us to move forward
we must first take a step back
to where it all began.
[tension rises]
[man] You know where to find me!
[Braun] To destroy him, I must become him.
I created you, Braun.
Therefore, it is my duty
to destroy you.
[Braun] I must drown the serpent
in his own savage swamp.
[man] This is a place
where all the horrors of the world
feel right at home!
I am ready to walk through the gates of hell
and slap the devil himself
in his face!
That monster that I created
is just waiting to come home.
[evil laugh]
I have to go home
and end him
before he ends me!
Let's go home.
Run.
[man] Still to come
the universal champion
Bray Wyatt will take on the Universal Champion Braun Strowman.
Both these men returning
to the gruesome swamp
for a Wyatt Swamp Fight.
[monstrous scream]
["The Future" playing, by CFO$]
[Tom] We are set for the Raw Women's Championship Match
here at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
["The Future" continues]
[Byron] The empress will stand in the way of the effort of Bayley
and Sasha Banks to control the women's division here in WWE.
[Tom] And tonight, The Horror Show at Extreme Rules
is brought to you in part by Tapout
available now at tapout.com.
Ever since capturing the championship
after the events of the Money In The Bank pay-per-view
Asuka has been out to prove herself
as the raw women's champion.
Tonight, she takes on one of the most formidable competitors
in the women's division.
[Samoa] Well, absolutely. Asuka, tonight, she has to deal
with, in my opinion
the best counter-wrestler in the women's division
a woman who sets traps
and is looking for championship gold in Sasha Banks.
[Byron] One thing we have seen from Asuka each and every week
she does not back down from a challenge.
She fears no one and Asuka, believe me
she understands how important this match is for her career.
[music ends]
[crowd applauds]
["Sky's The Limit, feat. Snoop Dog" playing, by CFO$]
[Tom] For Sasha Banks, it's very simple.
Can she, too, walk out of The Horror Show at Extreme Rules
as a double champion
after Bayley's successful defense
of the Smack Down Women's Title against Cross earlier tonight?
[Samoa] That isn't an easy question to answer
because Sasha Banks may be the best counter-wrestler
in the female division
but Asuka is an absolute offensive overwhelming machine.
She'll get started on you, she won't stop until there's nothing left.
[Tom] And Byron, this has come about because…
Sasha Banks initially was jealous
that Bayley was both Smack Down Women's Champion
and Women's Tag Team Champion
so Sasha wanted to try and duplicate the success
of the role model Bayley.
[Byron] Hence why on top of her laundry list of nicknames
Sasha Banks has added two-belts Banks to the equation
assuming that she gets past Asuka here tonight.
[Samoa] There's no such thing as jealousy. It's called ambition parity.
Read up about it.
[Tom] You heard Sasha earlier talking about putting a champagne on ice
presumptively just assuming that she's gonna put Asuka away.
[bell rings]
The following contest scheduled for one fall is for…
The Raw Women's Championship!
[crowd cheers]
Introducing the challenger
accompanied to the ring by Bayley
she is half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions,
Sasha Banks!
-[crowd boos] -[Bayley cheers in high pitch]
And her opponent, accompanied to the ring
by Kairi Sane
she is
the Raw Women's Champion
Asuka!
[Tom] Kairi Sane at ringside in the corner of Asuka
much like Alexa Bliss in the corner of Nikki Cross earlier on tonight.
And as we saw the conclusion
of the Smack Down Women's Championship match
earlier on tonight
very controversial, considering the involvement of Sasha Banks
helping Bayley retain
[Byron] And Asuka has done her homework.
She understands, yes, I have to defeat Sasha Banks
but I also have to contend with Bayley at ringside.
[Tom] Well, Byron, this could repeat itself.
What we saw earlier tonight.
[Byron] It could!
[Tom] Asuka tying up with Sasha Banks
in defense of the Raw Women's Championship.
[Samoa] And smartly so, Asuka pushing Banks into the corner
making her carry that weight.
[Tom] Sasha Banks and Bayley tonight
if Sasha Banks is successful
Bayley and Sasha will complete their takeover
of WWE and the women's division.
[Byron] Asuka right now has a lot of fans
and not only in the women's division as well as Smack Down
cuz there's a lot of superstars
who don't wanna see Sasha and Bayley with all the gold.
[Tom] Let's be honest.
The one thing that Sasha and Bayley have taken advantage of
is because they're Women's Tag Team champions
they can go to any brand in WWE.
They've been on Raw, NXT, and Smack Down as of late.
So, that opportunity allowed Banks to go and challenge Asuka for the title.
[Tom] Maximizing the championship advantage.
These ladies have found an opportunity, and they're making the most of it.
[crowd shouts]
[Tom] Sasha Banks, a four-time Raw Women's champion in her own right
two-time Tag Team champion, former NXT champion.
[Tom] Oh! Now driving Asuka to the canvas!
[Byron] Sasha Banks helped spearhead the women's evolution
which just celebrated its five-year anniversary.
A true trailblazer in this division.
[Tom] So many people-- wow!
the kick right to the face of Banks.
So many people this week have been talking about Flair, Lynch,
Banks, and Bayley.
Do not forget about Asuka's contributions
to the women's division.
[Samoa] That counter-wrestling I was talking about!
That's what I was talking about!
Sasha right into the bank statement and Asuka is in a terrible way.
She's in a terrible way!
[Tom] Asuka was going to the bottom rope.
Banks released the submission, Joe, against--
[Samoa] Stomping the hand of Asuka!
[crowd boos]
That is a wise veteran move from the boss.
[crowd boos]
[woman] Talk about it, guys.
[Tom] Oh! And down goes Asuka.
Joe, you're a gifted submission competitor in your own right.
Off the Meteora, here's the cover for the title and a kickout.
If you make the grip very difficult there for Asuka
that's gonna hurt the attempt at the Asuka lock later on.
[Samoa] Absolutely, it is key.
[Tom] Shoulders down, shoulders down.
[Samoa] For Sasha to weaken those arms.
[crowd pounds]
[Tom] Now Sasha Banks trying to out power the Raw Women's champion.
Shoulders down, gets the left shoulder up.
[crowd pounds]
Asuka trying to make it difficult. Battle of wills right now
between Banks and Asuka!
[Samoa] The strength of Asuka, that bridge.
[Tom] Knee right to the midsection.
And the champion gets her shoulder up again!
-Now Asuka-- -[Samoa] That flying arm bar!
-[Tom] Oh! Arm bar by Asuka! -[Samoa] She's got it out.
She just needs to get that thumb up.
[Tom] Center of the ring
Banks trying to roll over, roll towards the ropes.
Yes, that'll break the submission.
[Byron] Asuka displaying her submission prowess.
[crowd applauds]
[Tom] Oh!
Asuka has spent every opportunity since Money In The Bank
to prove herself as a champion against Nia Jax
and Charlotte Flair. And now trying to do that
against The Boss, Sasha Banks.
-[Tom] Oh, God! -[Samoa] Oh!
[Byron] Oh, yeah. Try again, try again, Sasha!
[Tom] I'm Just firing up The Raw Women's champion!
[Byron] A different strategy from The Boss!
[Tom] And now, Banks in a frenzy that doubles over the empress.
[Samoa] Ain't no problem that knee can't fix.
[referee] Watch the hair.
[crowd cheers]
[Tom] Sasha Banks out of the corner-- oh!
Beautiful counter!
Great job by Asuka and Kairi Sane loving it!
[crowd pounds]
[Byron] That's how quickly Asuka can change the complexion of a match.
Using Sasha Banks's own movement against her!
Knee to jaw.
[Tom] Ask Bayley what that type of impact feels--
Asuka and a hip attack. Down goes Banks!
The Champion versus Champion match
weeks ago on Raw
where Asuka leveled Bayley with a spinning back fist.
[Byron] See the concern on the face of Bayley.
She knows that Sasha is in the deep waters now.
She's in serious trouble here against the empress.
[Tom] It's Nice that Bayley is concerned about anybody
considering her comments about Rey Mysterio.
[Byron] Don't even get me started.
[Tom] Down goes Asuka.
Title can only change hands via pinfall or submission inside the ring.
Advantage, of course, to the champion, Asuka.
[Samoa] Watch out for Banks!
[Tom] Went for the sunset flip through the ropes!
-[Samoa] Finishing off that bomb! -[Tom] Trying to pry Asuka.
-[Samoa] Oh! -[Tom] Ouch!
-And Asuka able to counter. -[Samoa] Asuka's got more in mind!
[Tom] Oh! And knee right to the face and down goes Banks!
[crowd cheers]
[Byron] Sasha Banks might be done!
[Tom] Watch this one more time. Boom! The sliding knee attack
and down goes the blueprint.
[Samoa] Victory is not secured. She needs to get Sasha back in the ring
and finish up the job.
[Byron] Sasha's words are coming back.
What was it about she was--
She was saying she would defeat Asuka in minutes.
[Tom] Now, trying to set it up, trying to set up the Asuka lock
and Banks, oh! Sending Asuka
into the middle turnbuckle face first.
[crowd applauds]
Now, Banks with the double knees to the ribs!
And-- oh! Banks taking advantage of the environment, Joe.
[Samoa] Oh, absolutely, just steel bars into the ribs
is no good for anybody.
[Tom] Cover, cover for the title! And a kickout by Asuka.
[Byron] Bayley enjoying, far cry from the concern
she had a few minutes ago.
[Tom] Again, there you can see the right knee of Sasha Banks
is pinning the right hand of Asuka to the canvas.
[Samoa] That's a short finger lock. Is that legal?
[Tom] The official allowing this to continue.
[Samoa] Oh!
Now, the official trying to admonish Sasha Banks.
-Oh, my God! -[Sasha screams in pain]
[Samoa] Get her off--
[crowd pounds]
That's torturous, Tom.
[crowd] Asuka! Asuka!
[Tom] And again, we talked about how badly is the hand of Asuka damaged.
Both hands at this point in the match.
[crowd] Asuka!
[Byron] We're seeing the vicious side of Sasha Banks come out
against the Raw Women's champion.
[Tom] Now Sasha Banks, Sasha Banks…
Into an arm bar here.
And Joe, some good positioning by Banks.
[Samoa] Absolutely. The bridge all the way across Asuka
making her carry all that weight and ripping that arm socket out.
[Tom] Both arms trapped.
[crowd shouts]
[Samoa] Interesting version on the stunt.
This is…
-[Tom] Oh! -[Samoa] Oh!
That is gruesome!
[crowd pounds]
[Tom] And Bayley just soaking it all in on the outside
the other half of the Women's Tag Team
tries to dismantle Asuka.
Sasha Banks in close.
[crowd boos]
[Byron] Sasha Banks has Asuka--
[Tom] Banks into the cover to win!
And a kickout!
[Byron] Has Asuka right where she wants her.
Come on!
[crowd pounds]
[Byron] Now Sasha Banks can start to taste--
[Samoa] That shoulder of Asuka must be hurting like crazy.
-Huh, never? -Never!
Come one, Sasha, Let's go.
Come on.
[Tom] Banks talking trash and look at the strikes in the corner
close range against The Empress!
[groans]
[Byron] Oh, no.
[Tom] And double knees to the ribs of Asuka!
[crowd cheers]
Oh, and again with the knees! Here's the cover!
Hook to the leg, and a kickout by Asuka!
And the onslaught continues from Sasha Banks.
[Byron] The impact of the double knees from the boss
taking out The Empress.
[Asuka moans in pain]
Somehow Asuka's managed to hold on.
[crowd pounds]
[Samoa] The frustration showing through on Sasha Banks's face.
[crowd pounds and applauds]
Now is not the time to get frustrated.
[Tom] Oh!
Two of the most gifted superstars today.
And Joe, as you said, back to the shoulders.
[Samoa] Absolutely, she's got her into a very unusual butterfly lock
but very effective nonetheless.
[Byron] This has been a very sound strategy
from Sasha Banks.
[crowd pounds]
[Tom] Trying to do as much damage to the arms
the hands, the shoulders of Asuka
trying to hinder anything that Asuka could do
in the submission game.
[Samoa] You can't grip what you can't clutch
that takes the Asuka lock right away.
[Tom] And again, up close, Sasha Banks delivering those strikes.
-[Samoa] Oh! -[Byron] Oh!
[Byron] Sasha talked a little too much!
[Tom] And Asuka fighting up from off the canvas.
Oh! Keeping Sasha Banks in close!
-[Byron] One of the best strikers. -[Samoa] But look at Sasha.
She's got her trapped!
[crowd applauds]
[Tom] Oh! The spinning back fist! Down goes Banks!
Joe, you said it before. That nearly knocked out Bayley
in a match not long ago!
[Samoa] That may have knocked out Sasha!
[Byron] Trapped no more. Sasha Banks could be on the verge of a loss!
[crowd pounds]
[Tom] The only thing holding Sasha up are the ropes!
Trying to come to-- oh! Face first into the middle turnbuckle.
[Samoa] Or so you thought, Tom Phillips.
[Byron] Spoke too soon.
[crowd boos]
[Tom] And now Banks-- oh! Caught up by Asuka!
Oh! Double knees!
And down go both Asuka and Banks!
[Byron] Great resourcefulness from the champion.
[Tom] What a battle tonight at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules!
Asuka doing everything she can
to get back into this matchup against Banks.
[speaking Japanese]
[Byron] Kairi Sane cheering on her partner, Asuka
who is reeling from all the damage that's been inflicted by The Boss.
[Samoa] Banks in a dangerous spot.
[Tom] Went for the hip attack once more. This time, Banks able to evade!
Shot to the back of the neck of Sasha Banks.
[Byron] What's Sasha thinking?
Oh, no!
[Asuka screams]
[Tom] Trying to rip Asuka off of the apron.
[Byron] Asuka gripping that top rope!
[Tom] The Raw Women's champion trying to hold on!
And now tied up in the ropes!
And this is a great opportunity for Asuka!
[Byron] Now it's Asuka's turn!
[Tom] Now Asuka trying to turn it around on Banks.
[speaking Japanese]
This is how fiercely these two women are prepared to battle
for the Raw Women's championship!
And now Banks throws her into the barricade!
Into the plexiglass goes Asuka!
[crowd boos]
[referee] One!
[Tom] Banks has got to get Asuka back in the ring. Listen to this!
[Byron] That could be the difference maker in this match.
[Tom] And now Banks has got Asuka back inside the ring.
And this could be Sasha Banks's moment
to win the championship!
Off the top rope!
Frog splash!
Here's the cover on Asuka!
And the kickout by the champion!
And now turns into the bank statement!
Bank statement by Sasha Banks!
[Samoa] And she has her!
Oh, and she's got it hooked in dirty!
Asuka reaching!
She is a long ways away from those ropes!
[Byron] Asuka trying to maneuver her body.
[Tom] Is Asuka gonna tap out? Is Asuka gonna tap?
The champion trying to get to the bottom rope!
[Samoa] Crawl to that painful rope!
[Byron] Almost there!
[Tom] Trying to get into the bottom rope, Asuka grabs the rope!
And Sasha Banks finally relinquishes the submission.
[crowd applauds]
This was earlier on, the Frog Splash by Sasha Banks.
All the height behind this!
More damage done to the midsection of Asuka
and then transitioned immediately into the bank statement.
Ready for Asuka.
[Samoa] If we were scoring this
I have no doubt in my mind that Banks would be way ahead.
I'm the greatest ever, Asuka. You would not be here without me.
[Tom] Oh, again. The forearm shots now by Asuka!
[Byron] Sasha Banks running her mouth and-- oh!
Sasha Banks pays for it!
[Tom] And down goes Banks.
And now Asuka trying to find a way to put away this match!
[Byron] Asuka has got to act quick.
[crowd applauds]
[Tom] Asuka trying to psych herself up
against The Standard Sasha Banks!
[crowd pounds and applauds]
[Samoa] What is this?
[Byron] Asuka trying to muscle Sasha.
[Tom] Back into the center, into a cover!
Bridging into the cover, kickout by Banks!
It looked like Asuka was trying to set up for the Asuka lock.
Instead, opted for a pinfall attempt!
Whoa!
[crowd pounds]
High on the neck of the German suplex!
[Byron] And now Asuka is unloading on Sasha Banks!
[Tom] Again, this time the kick right to the face.
Asuka to retain her title!
Oh! Banks able to kickout at two!
[Samoa] Talk about a technical aspect.
Asuka is showing Sasha Banks a whole new world of pain in techniques.
[Tom] Watch, the pain that you mentioned, the German suplex
by Asuka, right on the back of the neck of Sasha Banks.
[crowd pounds]
Now, that one got blocked by Banks. Banks went for a kick of her own.
Asuka, another German suplex!
[Byron] Asuka is in a different zone right now!
[crowd cheers]
[Tom] And Asuka with a hip attack
wipes out Banks!
Shoulders down. Oh! And a kickout by The Boss!
Asuka continues to throw everything she can think of
at Sasha Banks
but credit to one-half of the champions
kicking out yet again.
[Byron] Watch the impact, the hip attack
and wisely Asuka not wasting any time now
heading to-- we assume the top rope!
[Tom] Kairi, the other half of the Kabuki Warriors backing up Asuka.
Went for the dropkick. Banks able to--
-Sidestep it and-- -[Samoa] But Sasha did not!
[Tom] Cover for the title, and a kickout!
[Byron] What a match!
What a match between Sasha Banks and Asuka
for the Raw Women's Championship!
[Tom] Watch this. Went for the dropkick.
Oh! Just missed it.
Banks able to sidestep, and then bam! Came in hard with the knee strike
but still Asuka endures.
[crowd pounds]
[referee] One!
Two!
[Byron] Sasha Banks has got to be asking herself, as is Asuka
what do I have to do to put my opponent away?
[Tom] Banks knew she had to go through this
to become a double champion just like Bayley.
You have to get through, arguably, one of the greatest superstars
in the world today, Asuka.
[crowd shouts]
Now Asuka-- whoa, whoa, whoa! Trying to rip Banks off the top!
[Byron] Sasha almost went flying.
[Samoa] North-south elbow, just mean, top of the head.
[Tom] And down goes Asuka in a heap.
Asuka looked like she was thinking about a superplex.
And Banks is laughing it off.
[Byron] Sasha Banks is wasting valuable time here.
She should be attacking.
[crowd pounds]
[crowd shouts]
[Tom] Sasha Banks trying to position herself
Closing in on the Raw Women's Championship.
Oh, and Asuka able to slow up Banks.
[Byron] Sasha Banks took too much time!
[Samoa] It doesn't look good for Sasha Banks.
[Byron] Oh, no!
[Tom] Asuka with the grip around the waist
trying to set up for this off the top!
-[Tom] Banks escaped the punishment! -[Samoa] She flipped out!
[Tom] Double knees in the corner!
[Byron] Sasha Banks dodged one there, and now she's not wasting time.
[Tom] Oh! And a great opportunity for Sasha Banks
but slipped on the ropes, Joe.
[Samoa] She injured her knee.
[Tom] Watch this. This was moments ago here.
It looked like Asuka was setting up for a super German suplex.
Credit to Sasha Banks, able to land on her knees.
[crowd pounds]
[Samoa] That may have started the knee problems, Tom.
[Byron] This could be a serious situation for Sasha Banks
heavily favoring the left knee, after the impact of that fall.
No! Get out of my face, ref!
I'm the next champion!
I have to be.
[Samoa] Banks committed to the cause.
[Asuka screams]
-I have to be the champion! -[Asuka] I'm the champion!
[Samoa] Oh!
[Tom] And now Banks trying to fight through the pain!
Asuka doing the same!
[Byron] You could hear it from both. It's about championship passion!
Who wants it more?
[Tom] Trying to get Asuka down to the canvas.
[Samoa] Trying to get that shoulder lock.
-[Tom] The Asuka lock. -[Samoa] She needs to throw those hooks.
-[Tom] Can she bring Sasha down? -[Byron] Watch Bayley.
[Tom] And now Bayley trying to get involved.
Kairi Sane there to backup Asuka
and going at it on the outside now!
[Byron] Kairi Sane. Oh, whoa!
Bayley to belly. And meanwhile, back inside the ring.
The distraction of Banks. No, Asuka for a cover.
Now Sasha Banks…
Sasha Banks went for it!
And now-- oh! Asuka, cover, cover!
It's counter for counter. And Sasha Banks appeared able to kickout
And now Asuka… Asuka lock. Asuka has a hold of it.
[Byron] Can Asuka fully lock it in?
[Tom] Sasha Banks trying to roll out of this.
And Bayley tossing one of the titles in!
Trying to-- oh, no, no, no!
There's a tap. There's a tap, ref!
Sasha Banks just tapped out to Asuka!
[Bayley] I'm not doing anything!
[Tom] Oh! And down goes Bayley.
And again, like we saw in Cross versus Bayley earlier tonight
involvement on the outside
on the half of the champions.
[Samoa] This referee is not in control.
[Byron] It seems like the plan did backfire for Bayley.
And now Asuka can hopefully turn her attention back to Sasha Banks.
Sasha Banks was tapping out to Asuka.
Asuka had this finished.
[Byron] Sasha's got the title.
[referee] Drop the title. Let's go.
-Knock it off. What are you doing? -What do you mean?
-You can't use the belt. -I'm not gonna use it.
-You can't use it. -What are you doing?
[Tom] Oh!
Asuka went for the green mist!
[the referee screams]
[Byron] Surely inadvertently. I mean, Asuka was targeting Sasha Banks.
[Tom] Oh, and now going for the Asuka lock!
[Byron] Wait, watch Bayley again!
[Tom] Bayley to the back of Asuka.
[crowd boos]
But the official can't see because of the green mist!
Didn't see any of it!
[Samoa] I've never seen a ref blinded!
[Byron] What?! Ripping the shirt off the official!
[Tom] What is going on?
[Samoa] That's sanctionable.
-Are you kidding me? -She's in a referee uniform.
[Tom] She's not an official referee, Joe.
Banks has crawled into the cover!
[Byron] No! What?
[Bayley] Ring the bell! Ring the bell!
Ring the freakin' bell!
-[Samoa] Let's figure this out. -[Byron] You gotta be kidding me.
[bell rings]
[Byron] What? No.
[crowd boos]
You can't be serious.
[crowd boos]
There's no way.
Bayley just handing the Raw Women's championship to Sasha Banks.
[Bayley] Look at that idiot!
[crowd boos]
["Sky's The Limit" plays]
[Byron] What is going on?
[Tom] There's no way this seriously stands.
[Samoa] A new champion.
[Tom] This is what happened in the later moments.
Asuka went for the green mist on Banks
but instead, hit the official with the green mist.
[Byron] Look, and Bayley interjects herself into the match
attacks Asuka with the championship.
-[Tom] The official never saw it. -[Byron] Bayley is not an official.
-She's wearing the uniform! -It doesn't matter, Joe!
[Byron] Bayley is not a WWE official.
She has no authority to count the pinfall in this match
and award the Raw Women's Championship to Sasha Banks!
[Bayley] You did it!
[Byron] This is a joke.
Two-belt Banks!
You're amazing!
[Tom] And the Golden Role Models
completed their takeover of WWE.
[Samoa] Do you believe now? Do you believe now, Byron?
[Asuka] That's mine! I'm the champion.
["Sky's The Limit" continues]
[Tom] We'd like to extend a thank you to Kevin Rudolf
for Watch Me Now
an official theme song of The Horror Show at Extreme Rules
available now on Apple Music and Spotify.
Byron, I'm just--
is Sasha Banks really the Raw Women's champion?
I repeat, just because Bayley steals the shirt from the referee
and puts it on, does not make her a referee. She is not an official.
As far as I'm concerned, Asuka is still the champion.
This has been a wild night here at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
We do wanna take a moment regarding the situation with Rey Mysterio
from earlier on, the first-ever Eye For An Eye match against Rollins.
I wanna check-in with our broadcast colleague
Charly Caruso who's standing by in the trainer's room
awaiting a medical update on Rey.
Thanks, guys.
After that sickening conclusion to the Eye For An Eye match
I've been told that Rey Mysterio is currently on his way
to a local medical facility where WWE medical personnel
tell me that he's being treated for something called globe luxation.
Now this injury is absolutely horrifying, but there is some good news.
Doctors say that if the optic nerve is not severed
and that the nerves that connect the eye to the rest of the head
are completely damaged
that there is a chance that Rey Mysterio can maintain his vision.
For more updates and developments
on Rey's condition, you can visit wwe.com.
Guys, back to you.
Thank you, Charly. So, something positive regarding Rey Mysterio.
Yeah, we will definitely keep our fingers crossed for the health
the long-term health of Rey Mysterio.
The Horror Show at Extreme Rules continues here tonight.
On the raw side, we are about to see the WWE Championship match.
The champion, Drew McIntyre defends against Dolph Ziggler
in a match where Ziggler has yet to name the stipulation.
After reaching the pinnacle of sports entertainment at WrestleMania
Drew McIntyre is now walking into the unknown.
[Drew] It took me 19 years to get my first WWE championship.
[Tom] Drew McIntyre fulfills his destiny!
[Drew] I am not just on top of the mountain.
[Tom] Drew McIntyre showing that he is indeed WWE champion.
[Samoa] Drew McIntyre is the damn mountain.
[Byron] Claymore and Drew McIntyre
is still your WWE champion!
[Drew] To all the superstars out there
if you deserve an opportunity at the title
you get an opportunity.
[pop music]
You've forgotten the Drew McIntyre comeback story.
Years ago, you were here, and you got fired.
[Dolph] You came to Monday Night Raw…
because of me.
You and I went on to become dominant Tag Team champions
because of me.
And now, you are the WWE champion because of me.
While you were shuffling around trying to find yourself
I was here.
For 15 years
I have been a part of some of the most unforgettable moments
in WWE history.
[Tom] Dolph Ziggler is Mister Money In The Bank!
We got us a new world champion!
All I ask is what I am owed
a WWE title match.
[Drew] You've become exactly what we used to despise.
You have become an entitled jackass.
Being that we're family, I'm gonna allow you
to pick the stipulation of our match.
[suspense music]
At Extreme Rules, you're gonna lose
and it's gonna be because of me.
[Byron] To put that big of a stipulation in the hands of Dolph Ziggler is crazy.
-I have his word. -Oh, stop.
[Tom] What does this mean on the way towards Extreme Rules?
Very, very close.
[music ends]
[Drew] I allowed Dolph to pick the stipulation for our match.
He could technically pick a cage match.
He could pick a no-holds-barred match.
And it'll be the same result every time.
Drew McIntyre would still be the WWE champion at the end.
The stipulation that I chose for The Horror Show Extreme Rules
is…
a secret.
You are the same old Drew McIntyre.
You are a backstabber!
[epic music]
[Drew] To make history there.
You used people, Dolph.
I was your hired gun, your muscle.
I did all the dirty work for you.
The Horror Show this Extreme Rules
I'm gonna maim you.
I am gonna torture you.
And it's gonna be because of me.
[Tom] What stipulation will Dolph pick for his WWE title opportunity
against Drew McIntyre?
[Dolph] Drew, I created you.
And at extreme rules, I will destroy you.
[music ends]
[monstrous scream]
["Here to Show the World" playing, by Downstait]
[Tom] Dolph Ziggler walking into The Horror Show at Extreme Rules
with tremendous control, Joe.
What is a man like Ziggler capable of?
with this decision at his disposal?
[Samoa] Well, at a cerebral level, Tom
Dolph Ziggler is capable of anything
and keeping this stipulation secrete
I mean, it only plays to his advantage.
I have something special for you tonight.
[Byron] Dolph Ziggler said earlier today that he's never felt more confident
going into a championship match in his life.
We've also heard through the grapevine that whatever Ziggler has in mind
is something we have never seen before.
[Tom] Whether you like it or not, credit to Ziggler
the fact that he has picked the stipulation
yet he has not declared it
and he's waiting until the last second to make that known to Drew McIntyre.
[Samoa] It's a brilliant piece of strategy.
["Gallantry" playing, by CFO$]
[Tom] Since winning the championship at WrestleMania
the WWE champion Drew McIntyre has said
what is meant to be will be.
But the truth of the matter is tonight did the confidence of Drew McIntyre
overcome him when allowing Dolph Ziggler this much power
in a championship match?
[Byron] Drew McIntyre is at a disadvantage
because he doesn't know what Dolph is going to choose
what stipulation Dolph has in mind.
But the reason Drew McIntyre is taking this route
is because he doesn't want Dolph Ziggler to have any excuses
any reason to complain
when Drew McIntyre believes he will defeat Ziggler here tonight.
[Samoa] There's no difference between belief and buffoonery.
I got to admit, Drew McIntyre has been every bit
the fighting champion that he's advertised as.
But the problem here is
he has let his ego get ahead of him.
He has given Dolph Ziggler all the cards to play tonight.
I guarantee you, he'll play every one.
[Tom] We know how motivated Drew McIntyre is coming into this matchup.
The mind games that Ziggler has tried to play up until this point.
Ziggler perhaps has unlocked
the Scottish psychopath
someone Ziggler knows very well.
[Byron] Scottish psychopath is bad news for Dolph Ziggler.
[bell rings]
-Do the announcement, go ahead. -Choose your fate.
The following contest scheduled for one fall is for
the WWE Championship!
Introducing the challenger, residing in Hollywood, Florida
weighing in at 218 pounds
Dolph Ziggler!
This is the last time for you.
You blew it, you blew it. Go ahead.
And his opponent
from Ayr, Scotland, weighing in
at 265 pounds
he is…
the WWE champion…
Drew McIntyre!
[crowd pounds and applauds]
Yeah. Before we get that belt-- excuse me.
Thank you, thank you. Now that we're ready to go
you made a big mistake, Drew.
I'm smarter than you. You underestimated me
and you signed the contract
and let me pick the stipulation
and everybody wants to know what it is.
This WWE title match
will be…
Extreme Rules…
for Dolph Ziggler only.
Oh! That's not it. You got that, ref?
Just for me. And by the way, if I'm beating you up too bad
and you decide to take a walk and run away
you get counted out, I become WWE champion!
You get scared and can't take the heat
and you purposely get disqualified
I become WWE champion.
If you do anything…
anything
other than within the rules of a normal
sanctioned WWE match
I become WWE champion.
Thank you!
I always told you, kid
mine's bigger.
Now ring the bell.
[Samoa] Checkmate, Tom.
[Tom] I mean…
Dolph Ziggler, basically, has McIntyre forced
to play by two completely different sets of rules.
McIntyre has to be unbelievably careful in this match.
[Samoa] He should've been careful before giving a man like Dolph Ziggler
the choice of the stipulation.
[Tom] Did Drew McIntyre just let go of the WWE championship
for the last time?
[Samoa] This is the arrogance of McIntyre coming back to bite him.
[Byron] This puts Drew McIntyre in a very difficult position
because I guess this means--
[Samoa] Oh, here we go!
[Tom] Dolph Ziggler can stand outside of the ring
as much as he wants.
And a shot right to the face!
Ziggler can use weapons-- oh!
Ziggler doesn't have to get disqualified.
However, McIntyre does have to get back inside the ring
at some point by the count of ten.
[Byron] Yeah, whatever Drew McIntyre wants to do
McIntyre is bound by the rules of a regular WWE match.
[Samoa] Dolph keeps him distracted.
[Tom] And now McIntyre tossing Ziggler back inside.
Throw champion's advantage out the window.
-That doesn't mean anything now. -[Samoa] Absolutely.
There is no champion's advantage here
because Dolph Ziggler holds all the advantage.
Oh!
[Tom] And all the rage, all the anger that's been welling up
inside Drew McIntyre for weeks now
leading up to this matchup, he's got to be hesitant.
He needs yo think every step he makes.
[Samoa] Incorrect. He doesn't need to be hesitant at all.
This is what he needs to be doing.
He needs to keep him--
-Going for the claymore. -[Tom] Trying to end this!
And now Ziggler is in trouble.
Ziggler rolls outside the ring.
Ziggler cannot be counted out
because Ziggler is operating under Extreme Rules.
No count-outs, no disqualifications for Dolph Ziggler.
[Byron] Is key for Drew McIntyre to channel his rage properly
so he can leave Extreme Rules still the WWE champion.
[Tom] Count of two applied by McIntyre. To the eyes, rake to the eyes!
Seen all too much of that tonight.
And now McIntyre rolls back inside the ring.
[Byron] Dolph looking for a chair.
[Tom] And this is legal for Ziggler.
Ziggler pulling out a steel chair.
[Samoa] Oh, no!
[Tom] And blocked by McIntyre!
-[Byron] McIntyre cannot use it. -[Samoa] Better put that down, champ!
[Tom] Oh, went for the superkick and now McIntyre
Oh! Just ragdolling Ziggler.
And Ziggler rolls outside the ring.
[Byron] This is a smart strategy by the WWE champion
do whatever you can to prevent Dolph Ziggler from using--
Oh! Any weapon of his choice.
[Samoa] Great velocity on that suplex and even worse on that chop.
[Tom] And look at the pure muscle
of McIntyre, just tossing Ziggler. Count of four.
Ziggler thrown back inside. McIntyre of course beating the ten count.
[Byron] It goes back to the confidence we've seen
from Drew McIntyre ever since he won the WWE championship at WrestleMania.
[Tom] Shots just bouncing off McIntyre.
[Byron] Oh! Well, try again.
[Samoa] Yeah!
[Tom] Big clothesline. Ziggler to the outside.
[Samoa] Credit to the champ. Drew McIntyre, he's kept this match
well under his thumb.
[Byron] And right now, Drew McIntyre looks unfazed
from the stipulation that Dolph Ziggler came up with!
[crowd pounds]
[Tom] And now McIntyre
using the environment.
Ziggler sends McIntyre into the post!
Oh! And guys, here's the thing
Ziggler can continue to beat McIntyre outside the ring all he wants.
If McIntyre doesn't beat the ten count
Dolph Ziggler is WWE champion!
[Byron] This feeds right into the game plan now of Ziggler.
[Tom] Ziggler pulling out a table. McIntyre needs to get back inside the ring
count of six.
McIntyre does roll back inside.
[Byron] In the meantime, Dolph Ziggler will take his time to set this table up.
[Samoa] He can do whatever he wants, Byron.
[Tom] McIntyre rolls back outside.
Know he's gonna be in pursuit of Ziggler.
[Samoa] This did work out well at all.
[Tom] Look at this!
McIntyre, oh!
[Byron] Real smart move by Drew McIntyre.
[Tom] Nearly used the table, which would've been a disqualification.
[Byron] A little frustration shown
by the WWE champion
realizing "I'm not allowed to use that table".
[Samoa] He wanted to use that.
And how long can Drew McIntyre keep that control?
[Tom] The Scottish psychopath.
[Samoa] There's a reason for that. This man will snap.
[Tom] Look at the power into a powerbomb!
There's the cover to retain the title!
Oh, what a kickout by Ziggler!
McIntyre came into this match, he said, "I am going to maim you
I am gonna torture you",
but now, McIntyre adapting to this very unique situation.
[Byron] Up to this point, McIntyre has a--
I'll beat you until you're unconscious, Dolph.
I can do this all damn night!
[crowd pounds]
[Byron] Case in point, Drew McIntyre has adapted very well
telling Ziggler, "I can do this all night".
[crowd applauds]
You're pathetic.
Oh, gosh!
[Tom] And a low blow! Gentlemen, it's legal!
There's no disqualifications for Dolph Ziggler!
That is within the rules for Ziggler!
[McIntyre groans in pain]
My goodness.
[Byron] Without hesitation, Dolph Ziggler going low.
That'll stop you in your tracks.
[Tom] And Ziggler pulling out steel chairs
as McIntyre is writhing in pain!
And Dolph Ziggler showing how creative he can be
in this environment that he devised.
Steel chair to the back of the champion!
[Byron] Oh, the ribs!
[Samoa laughs]
[Tom] Oh! Trying to wear down
the colossus!
Oh!
[Byron] This is turning into the worst case scenario for Drew McIntyre.
[Samoa] Drew McIntyre wanted to be a fighting champion.
And congratulations. He's in the fight of his life.
[crowd pounds]
Oh!
[Tom] Oh, and the chair that was standing upright
went into the neck!
That was in the throat of Drew McIntyre!
Oh, god, high on the shoulder!
Now Ziggler into the cover to win the title and a kickout.
[crowd pounds]
[Samoa] How much damage was done to Drew McIntyre's windpipe?
Oh!
[Tom] God. High on the shoulder there with the steel chair.
But right now, the WWE champion's breathing
has been impaired
and so much damage has been done to his back.
[Samoa] You can't breathe, you can't fight.
[Tom] Now McIntyre on the outside.
McIntyre again has to beat the count of ten.
Ziggler does not.
Oh, Ziggler… caught by McIntyre!
-[Byron] Oh, look out, look out! -[Tom] Ziggler over the announce desk!
Dolph Ziggler just got launched
I don't know how
by Drew McIntyre!
And the official has reset the count.
McIntyre trying to drag himself towards the ring.
Watch this power!
[Byron] Recovery time is valuable for Ziggler, as it is for McIntyre.
[Tom] McIntyre rolled back inside, He reset the ten-count
so, that buys the WWE champion more time.
[Samoa] He needs to press the advantage right now.
[Byron] More time to inflict more punishment on the challenger.
[Tom] And Drew McIntyre looks incensed.
[crowd shouts]
Count of one from the official. McIntyre has to be mindful.
[Byron] What is McIntyre planning to do to Dolph Ziggler now?
[Samoa] Watch out here.
-[Byron] Oh, no, no, no! No way. -[Samoa] Oh, no!
[Tom] Went for the belly-to-belly! Oh, God. And Ziggler takes out the leg.
-[Samoa] From high elevation! -[Tom] Famouser!
Famouser off the announce desk, but a count of five for McIntyre!
[Byron] How much did the impact affect Ziggler?
[Samoa] McIntyre needs to beat this count!
[Tom] Ziggler rolls back inside to the steel chairs.
Count of eight. And McIntyre beats the count!
[crowd pounds]
[both breathe tiredly]
And this match wears on here at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
And look at the anger on the face of the WWE champion.
-[crowd] Oh! -[Tom] And boom!
Now back inside the ring, off the famouser
McIntyre back up to his feet, able to gather himself on the apron.
[Byron] Pure adrenaline right now if you're Drew McIntyre
cuz his body has got to be ravaged in pain.
[Tom] And McIntyre, Joe, somehow going up top!
[Samoa] Finding the will.
[Tom] Trying to connect and now-- oh!
Going for the sleeper!
[Samoa] He's got the hooks in!
-[Tom] Ziggler with a sleeper. -[Byron] It doesn't matter!
[Samoa] There is no rope break!
[Tom] No rope breaks for Ziggler. No disqualifications for Dolph Ziggler.
McIntyre has got to fight his way out of this!
He's starting to fade. Down to a knee!
[Samoa] All the lights are going out!
[Tom] And the sleeper has helped Ziggler win plenty of matches
throughout his career!
[Byron] Is this how Dolph Ziggler is going to secure the WWE Championship?
[Tom] And McIntyre once again backup to his feet.
McIntyre finally breaks up the sleeper!
Remember, the chair shot to the throat earlier on.
Trouble breathing right now for McIntyre.
Oh, into the post!
And now Ziggler…
Ziggler going post to post with McIntyre!
[Byron] I'm starting to wonder-- oh!
[Tom] Clothesline by McIntyre!
[Byron] Drew McIntyre might be in over his head at this point
just as he musters a little bit of offense
but think about the damage to the throat, to the back that Dolph Ziggler inflicted.
[Tom] Boom! What a clothesline by McIntyre!
Joe, every time the WWE champion turns around
a rule that doesn't apply to him is being thrown in his face.
He's being bombarded by Ziggler.
[Samoa] This is a worst-case scenario for McIntyre
cuz he would love nothing better
than just to tear Ziggler apart with anything
but the minute he does, he'll be out of here!
[Byron] Oh, boy!
[Tom] Count of one for McIntyre! Oh!
Ziggler face first into the plexiglass!
McIntyre rolls back inside.
[Byron] McIntyre needs to manage the count while managing the pain
that he delivers to Dolph Ziggler.
[Tom] Valuable time here for McIntyre.
[Samoa] Also, valuable time for Ziggler
because McIntyre still has to pick up Ziggler's body
drag it into that ring deadweight and pin him to win.
[Byron] Hence why McIntyre is out there.
[Tom] Now tosses Ziggler back inside.
McIntyre trying to endure this difficult situation
these rules that were implemented at the last moment by Ziggler.
[crowd pounds]
[Samoa] We've seen this before, Tom.
[Tom] Setting up Ziggler out of the corner.
[Byron] The lifeless body of Ziggler propelled face first!
[Tom] Reverse Alabama slam!
Shades of the Scottish psychopath!
The man who backed up Dolph Ziggler
and could we be looking at the end of this match?
[Byron] Drew McIntyre can feel
that this could be the beginning of the end!
[crowd pounds harder]
[Tom] Oh, we could be ready for a countdown!
Three, two, one!
[Tom] A claymore countdown! Oh, God!
Oh, and the zig-zag off the steel chair!
-[Samoa] He might got him! -[Tom] Cover by Ziggler
for the title and a kickout by McIntyre!
[Byron] My goodness.
[crowd shouts]
[Tom] Ziggler able to hit the zig-zag
but, Joe, important to notice how Ziggler took out
the plant leg of McIntyre with the steel chair.
[Samoa] Oh, absolutely
this is an instance where you take away the power leg.
Drew McIntyre, he needs to throw those kicks so gingerly anymore.
[Byron] This has been a match of adjustments for McIntyre.
[Tom] That look of frustration now coming over Dolph Ziggler
who had the deck stacked against the WWE champion tonight!
Ziggler to the outside.
[crowd applauds]
[Samoa] I don't know how advantageous this is for McIntyre
having Ziggler on the outside, that is where he's at his most dangerous.
[Byron] McIntyre has done this several times in the match now.
When Ziggler is on the outside--
[Tom] Oh! A super kick!
[Byron] This time, the WWE champion paid for it.
[Tom] And a count of one. McIntyre has got to get back inside the ring.
But look where McIntyre is. Ziggler going up top!
[Samoa] Ziggler goes to the heavens. Off the top of the post!
[Tom] He's got the WWE champion where he wants him!
Oh, to the heart! Through the table, through McIntyre.
-[Byron] McIntyre might be finished. -[referee] Get back in, Drew.
[Tom] McIntyre has got to get back in before the count of ten!
[Samoa] It could be all over for the champ!
[referee] Two!
[Byron] Dolph Ziggler with the table that he set up earlier on in this matchup
paying dividends with an elbow to the heart of the WWE champion.
[Tom] Count of five for the WWE champion. McIntyre has got to get back in the ring
Ziggler doesn't.
McIntyre starting to stir!
-[referee] Eight! -[Samoa] It's looking bleak! Real bleak!
Count of nine!
McIntyre does beat the count!
[Byron] One second away from losing the WWE title!
[Dolph] No!
No!
[Samoa] And Dolph Ziggler is incensed.
[Byron] He thought Drew was done for.
[crowd applauds]
[Tom] Ziggler has got to be asking himself
how do I end this?
[Samoa] There's more left in Dolph's tank.
Oh! Give us a kiss!
[Tom] The Glasgow kiss headbutt and down goes Ziggler.
[Byron] McIntyre can barely stand.
[Tom] And McIntyre is relentless, however!
Just keeps on coming!
And now McIntyre was setting up for the future shock DDT.
Shot to the injured knee!
Famouser again!
-[Tom] Now McIntyre! -[Samoa] Zig-zag!
[Tom] Another zig-zag! But somehow McIntyre is up!
[Tom] The ura-nage! -[Samoa] On the chair!
[Tom] Onto the chair! McIntyre in trouble!
[Tom] McIntyre kicked out! [Byron] Wow!
Just wow!
[crowd pounds]
[Dolph] No, I don't know what to do.
[Samoa] That's just about all that Ziggler did throw at Drew McIntyre.
[Tom] Well, what a series, Joe, by Dolph Ziggler!
Why won't you die?
[crowd shouts]
[Byron] Ziggler with a huge advantage coming into this match.
We are seeing the resiliency, the heart, the determination
of the WWE champion Drew McIntyre.
[Tom] And we are watching as Dolph Ziggler unravels.
[Samoa] I mean--
[crowd boos]
-[Byron] Dolph has used steel chairs-- -[Samoa] Tossing steel.
[Byron] What more can Ziggler do?
Why won't you die?
[Samoa] Whatever it is, it's gonna be good, boys.
My time!
[crowd pounds]
-[Tom] Now Ziggler. [Samoa] Oh, Ziggler is feeling it.
[Samoa] A countdown of his own.
[Tom] Oh, and a kip-up! Oh!
Claymore, claymore!
McIntyre hit the claymore!
Three! Two!
McIntyre overcomes Ziggler!
["Gallantry" playing, by CFO$]
[announcer] Here's your winner, and still…
the WWE champion…
Drew McIntyre!
[Byron] What a courageous effort from Drew McIntyre!
Drew McIntyre had to overcome everything
a change in rules, a changed environment
a bad leg, an injured throat
and still Drew McIntyre
able to recover enough to deliver the claymore
and walk out of here still WWE champion!
[Samoa] Yeah, he had to overcome everything.
But a lot of this is of his own design, he put himself in this position.
[Tom] But McIntyre did put himself in this position
but look where he stands.
[Byron] This is the last time
Drew McIntyre is going to let his opponent
pick any stipulation in a matchup.
[Tom] This was earlier on, with that steel chair!
A barrage of steel chair shots by Dolph Ziggler
but the WWE champion kept on coming.
[Byron] And Dolph Ziggler kept on coming
case in point, setting up a table
using it to his advantage
driving his elbow into the heart of Drew McIntyre.
And Dolph was hoping to win this match by count out
but it wasn't enough.
[Tom] And then this. Bam! The claymore from out of nowhere
and Ziggler was trying to tune up the band.
-[Samoa] Oh! -[Byron] Boom!
[Tom] The boot right into the face!
Ziggler wanted the super kick
but McIntyre claymored his head off!
[Byron] The one legal weapon
that Drew McIntyre had in his arsenal
the claymore secures once again
the WWE Championship
for Drew McIntyre.
["Gallantry" continues]
[crowd pounds]
[Tom] What is meant to be will be.
The WWE champion Drew McIntyre
victorious
tonight at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
["Gallantry" continues]
[mouths the words]
["The Greatest Show" playing, by SATV Music]
[man] Crafted
by history.
[dramatic glorious music]
Forged

WWE Championships.

Feel like a champion.
[music ends]
Welcome back to The Horror Show at Extreme Rules.
Of course, the damage still being shown here
after the successful Drew McIntyre's title defense moments ago
but it is now time for our main event. Ladies and gentlemen
Bray Wyatt fancies himself
as this modern-day Doctor Frankenstein
and he has created this monster in his own image
named Braun Strowman.
The problem is
Braun Strowman did not wanna follow
the evil path set out by Bray Wyatt.
So, now Bray believes
he needs to slay the monster
in the place where it was created
the Wyatt family swamp.
We've heard the tales from both Braun and Bray
of the horrors of the swamp
venomous serpents, alligators.
But the question on everyone's mind is, what sort of unforeseen terror
is lurking beneath the surface of the brackish waters?
Let's find out because it is time
for the swamp fight.

[cheering] Braun, Braun, he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can! Yeah!
Yeah. Get him, Braun. Go, Braun!
[both groant]
[action music continues]
Come on, Bray!
Where are you at?
Show your damn face!

[electric sounds]
[sinister children's laughter]
["Live In Fear" playing faintly, by Mark Crozer]
["Live In Fear" continues faintly]
Let me out of these chains, you bastard!
Welcome home, Braun!
What do you think of the place?
I hate you.
I hate you for everything you made me do.
Cry about it.
I bet you wanna hurt me, don't you?
Yeah, you wanna hurt me?
Truthfully…
you can't hurt me.
I'm already dead!
[Bray laughs]
But man
have I missed you.
Boy, I missed you.
And I've been watching you.
And I have to say…
I'm proud.
Yeah.
You have made something of yourself and the people, oh…
They… they love you, Braun, and it really gets my heart pumping.
But of course, I know
that your success it is borrowed, it is temporary.
When your 15 minutes is up
what will they think of you now?
What will they think of you?
Who will stand beside you?
Who will have your back?
I know the answer.
Because you…
can't see where you belong!
-I know where I-- -I don't care!
I can't tell for the life of me that you won't understand
that I am not your enemy!
[sinister music]
Can't you see?
The human race
it is a bacteria.
It's an infection.
They invade and they destroy
and that's all they know!
And you…
you're like me.
No, I'm nothing like you.
You're special
and you don't understand!
That's why you need me
because together
we could be like gods!
We will rule this place!
They will bow to us all!
How they will bow?
And as societies crumble
and governments fall
there we will be
ruling like what's prophesied!
Do you…
have any idea where I've been?
I don't care. I'm sending you back to hell, where you belong!
Let me tell you.
What I think
is worse than anything you could even fathom,
and then rotting in an endless pit
looking through my own eyes, not able to control my body
or anything it does!
And now, I'm here again, man.
I'm here and it feels good!
Look, daddy, I got my wings back!
And it feels good!
And I'm not going back!
No matter what, I'm not going back!
But you…
are a weapon
and I am the hand that wields it.
I know what I'm doing here!
I know what I'm supposed to be.
And in order for you
to become the monster you're destined to be
I have to destroy the monster you've become, Braun.
Bray, I don't care what you do to me.
I will never go back to doing your bidding!
You wanna see something…
really scary?
[sinister music]
[Bray whispers] Don't be afraid.
You remember the serpent, right?
[Braun screams]
[evil laughs]
[Bray] Come home, come home, come home.
Come home.
[action music]
[tension increases]
[woman] Braun.
Braun.
Braun
You don't need to do this.
[woman whispers] Braun, Braun.
Come home, Braun.
You know you've always wanted to be together.
Follow me, Braun.
[sinister music]
You know we've always wanted to be together.
We can be together forever.
This is what you've always wanted.
