Pre Show
Paige and Becky Lynch roll into the pre-show panel to weigh in on the Women's title match. They do a good job breaking down the match.
Dudley Boyz/Big Cass pre-show segment
The Dudley Boyz come to the ring. They talk about how if anyone should be on a show called Extreme Rules, it's them. Bully leads the crowd in an ECW chant. Then he tells them not to act like a bunch of sheep, doing what they say. He claims that ECW went straight into the toilet after they left it. Bubba says that all of the "New era" superstars are going into the toilet too.
They then make fun of New Jersey and look to leave.
But Big Cass has something to say about that. He comes out and says Bubba doesn't tell D-Von to get the table because D-Von ate the table and everything on it. He then defends the New Era of wrestlers as doing what the Boyz did but doing it better and in front of millions of people.
Cass gets into the ring and is immediately double teamed. However, he gets out of the way of Bubba, who hits D-Von, and then Cass hits D-Von with a big boot. He then peaces, letting the Boyz know there's only one word to describe them.
Since they used Cass here, it makes me think we won't get a surprise Enzo return after the tag match tonight.

Backstage, Miz does an incredible interview backstage where he does a movie style monologue (with music in the background) about how this is his time. He ends up not liking the first take so does it again. It's great.
Rusev & Lana are in the Social Media Lounge w/Tom Phillips. Rusev said he's already called his mom to tell her he won the US championship and she congratulated him. One of the Twitter questions is "What does Machka mean?" Lana asks if everyone is an id*ot and hasn't used Google or a smartphone.
Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler
Dolph starts with a flurry but Corbin neutralizes him pretty quickly. He ties up Zigs in the ropes and unloads on a defenseless Ziggler. Eventually, Dolph is able to sidestep a charging Corbin and toss him out of the ring. The Lone Wolf is back in quickly but now Dolph has the advantage, working quickly on the bigger man.
Dolph gets a near fall of a Sunset flip but Corbin kicks out and huge Deep Sick for a near fall of his own. Ziggler is able to hit a big DDT and a Fame Asser but only gets a 2 count. Ziggler misses a superkick and Corbin hits a blatant, but legal, low blow, which floors Ziggler. This leads to the End of Days for the 1-2-3
Corbin def. Ziggler via pinfall

The Usos vs. Anderson/Gallows in a Texas Tornado match
The Club doesn't even make it to the ring as the Usos meet them on the ramp and the fight is on. That early jump gives the brothers the advantage.
The crowd is soundly booing the Usos.
The fight spills from the ring, which was brief, back outside and the teams are now pretty even. However, the Club gets the advantage after Gallows knocks one Uce against the ring post and then both members hit a modified Boot of Doom on the other brother on the floor. (Anderson delivered the kick from the apron.)
Anderson & Gallows have control now, doubling up on one of the brothers in the ring. Jimmy, who is outside, tries to come in and the Usos have control briefly, but the Club takes it back. Inside the ring, KA hits a nasty kick on Jey on the mat and then Gallows hits his big boot when Jey is finally able to stand.
They go for the Boot of Doom but Jimmy is able to stop Anderson from the outside. The match breaks down, with members of the team trading big moves. This ends with all four men down. Karl is up first & kicks Jey Uso out of the ring and follows him out. He sets up a kick, but Uce is up and hits superkick of his own instead. And then he does the Umaga corner slam to Anderson against the barricade.
Gallows slides out and tosses Jey over the barricade and grabs the ring bell to use against Jimmy Uso in the ring. Jimmy avoids being hit with the bell and lands a superkick to save himself. However he goes to the top rope and misses a splash! Anderson slides in and both Club members hit their Magic Killer double team for the win.

Kalisto trying to use his speed and agility early on, but Rusev just swats him down when he tries for a corkscrew from the rope. This leaves Rusev to dominate the smaller man.
There's a loud "Let's go Rusev!" "Rusev sucks!" chant.
The Bulgarian works the midsection of the champ for a long while, including with a Torture Rack! Howver Kalisto uses his knees to reverse the Torture Rack into a Sleeper! Rusev seems to be fading... but just falls backwards onto Kalisto. However, the smaller man is able to hit a DDT from the middle rope to put the big man down. And this time he hits the corkscrew from the rope and then a hurcanrana that slams Rusev's head into the mat for a 2 count.
Rusev ends up outside the ring and Kalisto slides through the ropes and huricanranas Rusev into the steps. He slides the challenger into the ring and goes for the pin but only gets a 2 count. He goes for the Salida Del Sol, but Rusev pushes him off and slides out of the ring. Then Kalisto hits a moonsault from the top rope onto Rusev onto the floor!
However, the champ goes back up to the top rope and this time Rusev slams him onto the apron! The ref calls the doctor over as Rusev paces in the ring. Rusev then pulls Kalisto into the ring to set up for the Accolade but the ref stops him! He goes for the Accolade a second time but the ref stopes him again. Rusev ignores the ref for the third time, locks in a BRUTAL Accolade, and Kalisto quickly taps.

Good thing Rusev won since he already told him mother that he had.
