We're gearing up for one of WWE most brutal nights as bitter rivalries get
decided and what are sure to be some of the craziest matches of the entire year.
I'm Ryan Pappolla with all you need to know ahead of a highly anticipated
Extreme Rules.
[MUSIC]
>> Bayley climbs that ladder this Saturday night at Extreme Rules,
she could be the next Raw Women's Champion >> When you got the gold,
you got the power.
When you got the power you can take control.
>> History will be made when Bianca Belair and
Bayley compete in the first-ever Women's one-on-one Ladder Match.
Both Belair and
Bayley have both climbed the ladder of success to multiple title reigns.
But the EST has proven to be the class of WWE since WrestleMania.
After being sidelined for close to a year, Bayley brought Dakota Kai and IYO SKY
into her ranks to form Damage CTRL, and set their sights on a title takeover.
Dakota and Iyo would take the first step in that plan by defeating
Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah for the WWE Women's Tag Team Title.
This week's Raw ended with Bayley on top of the ladder
holding the covenant Raw Women's Title.
Well, which superstar will make the journey to unhook the championship when
it's all in the line tonight.
[SOUND] >> [NOISE]
>> And Liv Morgan going to Rousey, and
Rousey with a kick to the midsection and the champion goes down.
And now, Liv Morgan using the bat to her advantage.
>> She can use this weapon at Extreme Rules next week where anything goes.
My goodness, a very judge-like swing by Liv Morgan, almost took out Rousey.
And now Ronda with Piper's Pit,
the bat goes flying, Liv hit hard.
>> Liv Morgan is out to earn respect the SmackDown Women's Champion,
and she's proving she'll go to any lengths to do it.
Morgan shocked the WWE Universe with a brutal splash onto Lacey Evans a few
weeks ago.
But now she'll need to dig even deeper in a rematch with Ronda Rousey.
The two superstars will go to battle in an Extreme Rules Match where all
disqualification and count out rules go out the window,
as the winner must pin their opponent or make them submit.
The Baddest Woman on the Planet has been on a path of destruction since her
controversial loss to Morgan at SummerSlam.
So with a number of brawls and arrest and a recent beat down of Natalya will all
end with Rousey reclaiming the title at Extreme Rules?
>> When's the last time you held a championship?
>> [NOISE] >> Wait, the last time you faced for
the Heavyweight Championship is with your boy Roman and he choked your ass out.
How about this?
Remember the last time you main evented at WrestleMania?
Wait, you haven't >> But your wife Becky has.
>> [NOISE] >> I'm seeing a trend here,
it seems like you've come up second to Roman, you come up second to Becky, and
this Saturday, bro, you're gonna come up second to me.
>> Matt Riddle and
Seth Freakin Rollins have spent months trying to tear each other apart, and
now the rivals will bring a new level of carnage inside the Fight Pit.
The Fight Pit is constructed with steel around the barrier in place of ring
ropes with a catwalk around the outside for extra punishment.
A pin won't cut it, as the winner can only be decided by submission or knockout.
An extra wrinkle has been added with the announcement of MMA legend
Daniel Cormier as the guest referee for this all-out war.
Rollins earned the win over Riddle at Clash at the Castle, but
Riddle is one of the few active superstars with experience inside the Fight Pit,
as he stepped inside the steel with Timothy Butcher and NXT.
With nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide, will it be the Original Bro or
The Visionary who will emerge from the vicious clash?
[SOUND] >> You see, I don't quit.
So Finn I'm gonna challenge you.
At Extreme Rules.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> For
the first time ever, Edge versus Finn Balor.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> In an I Quit match.
>> Wow, the ultimate challenge for Finn Balor.
>> Edge and Finn Balor aren't just out for a win.
They're out for eradication.
The Rated-R Superstar is looking to dismantle the group he founded,
while Balor looks to eliminate the biggest threat to
their existence >> The two superstars will engage in
the brutal and humiliating showdown that can only end with one competitor saying
the words I quit.
The Judgment Day knocked edge out of action with a brutal steel chair attack
only to have the WWE Hall of Famer return demanding this showdown.
So can Edge overcome the Judgment Day when he battles Balor tonight?
[SOUND] Is time running out for Drew McIntyre and the WWE locker room?
The repeated assaults by Karrion Kross in an ominous fireball from Scarlet seem to
have kept the Scottish Warrior guessing where the next attack will come from.
Fortunately, all the action will remain right in front
of his face when he meets Kross in a strap match tonight.
The two superstars will be tied together with a leather strap that is equal part
restraint and instrument of punishment.
So which warrior will endure the pain and win by pin fall or submission?
[SOUND] It's always fight night in Philadelphia and the Brawling Brutes and
Imperium won't be leaving anything in the tank.
The Irish take on an Extreme Rules showdown is that the feature of plenty of
bludgeoning weapons for maximum destruction.
The Intercontinental title once again evaded Sheamus last night and
the Celtic Warrior will surely be looking to unload his frustration.
Imperium was victorious the last time these two teams met in a six man tag team
match on September 9th.
But will the Brawling Brutes feel right at home in the confines of an old fashioned
Donnybrook match?
[SOUND] So who will steal the show and
push the limits of what's possible at Extreme Rules?
Do not miss a second of the action tonight at 8 PM Eastern, 5 PM Pacific,
streaming up peacock in the US and WWE Network everywhere else.
