Welcome to Ringside News’ results for Extreme Rules 2019.
Tonight’s show is to be headlined by the mixed tag team match between Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Baron Corbin, and Lacey Evans. Of course, this is a winners take all match in which Lynch and Rollins’ Raw Women’s Championship and Universal Championships are on the line. Heading towards SummerSlam, I don’t think many of us are expecting a shock result here.
The real main event that most want to see is Kofi Kingston Vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship. This feud could be amazing and Joe is long overdue some TV time considering his feud with Rey was cut at the knees at every turn. Whether or not Joe finally gets the strap remains to be seen.
The other huge match tonight, which to be fair could be the main event, is The Undertaker and Roman Reigns Vs. Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre. The Undertaker’s inclusion in this match is a spanner in the works but considering it’s under No Holds Barred rules means it should be a fun one regardless.
There’s also the Last Man Standing match between Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman, the United States Championship match between AJ Styles and Ricochet, Aleister Black Vs. Cesaro, The Revival taking on The Uso’s, and a few more. It’s actually quite a stacked card and, as of now, there’s only one match scheduled for the Kick-Off Show.
And that’s the preview for Extreme Rules 2019. Let us know what you’re excited to see by following us on Instagram and Twitter, and by downloading the Ringside News app. Enjoy the show!
Kick-Off Show
The Extreme Rules kick-off panel consists of Coach, Beth Phoenix, Charly Caruso, and Sam Roberts.
We see a highlight reel for the Shane McMahon/Roman Reigns feud. While it seemed like that might be the main event, it will in fact open the show. Beth Phoenix says the no holds barred stipulation benefits the Deadman. Roberts says he gets excited like anyone when Undertaker is around but he thinks the stipulation benefits Drew and Shane. They ponder if Roman and Undertaker can put their egos aside to overcome the tandem of Drew and Shane.
Coach mentions that Finn Balor Vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship will be on the Kick-Off Show. We see Kevin Owens backstage with Kayla Braxton and he says he doesn’t work for Shane McMahon, he works for WWE. The panel says Owens Vs. Ziggler could steal the show.
Next up is the Last Man Standing match between Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman. They talk about if Braun is fit for tonight, because they haven’t seen him in weeks. Roberts says this match will be carnage and they better have the arena prepared.
We see Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans backstage, she’s drinking tea and he’s wearing a snazzy shirt. Corbin says he plans on breaking Rollins’ back with a chair, or maybe he’ll put him through a table, or use Evans’ teapot to hit him. She tells him he won’t be using her teapot, but he can feel free to use a Kendo stick. Evans says she has one with Becky’s name written on it. She says tonight they will not only take Seth and Becky’s titles but destroy their relationship.
