Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel feat. It wasn’t long before the focus of the segment changed to the WWE Intercontinental Championship, as The Miz and Maryse got involved.
Things get InZayn well The Miz interrupts Sami Zayn’s guest appearance on “The Highlight Reel”.
Since there was not a clean finish to the #1 Contender’s match on Raw, a win for Zayn tonight can put him in line for a title shot.
-The Vaudevillains vs. Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. Post-match, Colin Cassady came to the ring and laid out both of the ‘Villains and then Curtis Axel as well.
Natalya and Becky Lynch defeated Emma and Charlotte- Natalya won through submission and before it, she tapped Emma out. Sasha Banks appears to be lost in the shuffle these days. After the win, the show ended with Reigns and Styles staring at each other down. This led to a six-man tag match. The WWE Hall of Famer agreed to be Young’s new wrestling/life coach and to help “make Darren Young great again”.
Rusev throws Ryder around, and locks in the Accolade to pick up the quick victory.
Ready to battle Charlotte at WWE Extreme Rules, The Queen of Harts teams with The Irish Lass Kicker against the reigning titleholder and Emma.
-Fandango tried to teach Goldust new dance moves backstage.
-AJ Styles confronted Roman Reigns in his locker room to see if he planned on interfering in The Usos vs. Gallows and Anderson match later in the show. This resulted in a Six-Man Tag Match. AJ Styles and Roman Reigns’ feud continued to deepen and entangle, without becoming inconsistent or overly-complex. Zayn and Miz go back and forth for a while, and it is enough for Jericho get fed up and leave his own talk show.
It seems that Extreme Rules will be very similar to Payback in match rivalries, as the newly-formed ones after WrestleMania haven’t run their course yet.
