WWE Extreme Rules 2017 results and review

Here are the results and my review of WWE Extreme Rules 2017


Kickoff Match: Kalisto defeated Apollo Crews. Titus O’Neil got on the apron to argue with Crews. Kalisto walked up Titus to hit Salida del Sol on Crews for the pinfall victory.
-> good match for a KickOff show. Wrong winner for my taste. 7 of 10 points.

1. Intercontinental Championship Match; The Miz defeated Dean Ambrose (c). The stipulation for the match said that if Ambrose was disqualified, he would lose the championship. Miz tried to steal the title by ordering Maryse to slap him, but the referee saw through it and ejected her. As she was being ejected, Miz tossed Ambrose into the ref. The ref though Ambrose did it on purpose for some reason and threatened to DQ Ambrose. During the confusion, Miz hit Skull-crushing Finale to become a 7-time Intercontinental Championship.
-> finally The Miz is IC champion again. Best thing for this title. Great match and hopefully time for a new feud like The Miz vs Austin Aries. 8 of 10 points

2. Sasha Banks and Rich Swann defeated Alicia Fox and Noam Dar. Swann pinned Dar after a phoenix splash.
-> what a waste of star power. 5 of 10 points just for Sasha being in this.



3. Kendo Stick on a Pole match for the Raw Women’s Championship: Alexa Bliss (c) defeated Bayley. Bayley pulled down the kendo stick first, but Bliss was able to use it repeatedly and hit a DDT to retain the championship.
-> and another failure of womans wrestling potentials just to have a gimmick match. Good, Alexa keeps the title for 3 of 10 points.

4. Steel Cage Match for the Raw Tag Team Championship: Cesaro and Sheamus defeated The Hardy Boyz (c). Jeff Hardy escaped the cage first, but climbed back in to hit a Whisper in the Wind from the top of the cage. He apparently re-entered him in the match, as Sheamus and Cesaro were the first team to escape despite Matt Hardy exiting the door first and being unable to drag Jeff to the floor in time. Sheamus and Cesaro are the new Tag Team Champions.

-> great steel cage match but a little bit rubish at the end. New champs and hopefully the start of the transformation the the BROKEN HARDYS. 8 of 10 points.

 

5. Submission Match for the Cruiserweight Championship: Neville (c) defeated Austin Aries. Aries made Neville tap out to the Last Chancery on the floor, but it didn’t count. Neville was able to hit a Red Arrow to Aries’ back and lock on the Rings of Saturn to get the submission victory.
-> After 2 title changed already on the show, everyone knows that ARIES will not win this one. Great match again between these two with Neville keeping the title. 8 of 10 points too.

6. Fatal Five-way Match: Samoa Joe defeated Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt. Balor hit Coup de Grace on Roman Reigns, but Joe pulled him off the pinfall with a Coquina Clutch. Balor passed out in the hold, giving Joe the win. Samoa Joe will face Brock Lesnar at Great Balls Of Fire.
-> best match of the evening. Great actions between all 5 of them. Surpring winner with Samoa Joe for me. 9 of 10 points.
