Big Show v Matt Hardy

Ecxtreme Rules

Promo: Out to the ring strides NXT General Manager Mick Foley, with something under his arm covered by a black clth:

Promo: Foley goes through with his cheap pop, then gets down to business, this is the Extreme Rules Pay per View, a stipulation invented by ECW, and ECW was all about being Hardcore, so after getting WWE Management to agree to it, what better place and time to reveal and bring back.........................

and with that he takes the cloth off the item he's holding. to reveal....................

THE HARDCORE TITLE!!!!!!!!


So tonight, Mick Foley will leave the Hardcore Title in an office backstage, and the first superstar to claim and walk out of the building with it, will be the NEW Hardcore Champion......................but bear in mind, the 24 hour stipulation remains active, challengers can appear at any time..............


Brie Bella vs Summer Rae for the Women's Championship

JBL - Summer Rae

Kurt Angle - Summer Rae


Brock Lesnar vs Daniel Bryan for the World Championship

JBL - Brock Lesnar

Kurt Angle - Daniel Bryan


Cody Rhodes vs Goldust in a First Blood Match for the WWE Championship

Batista - Cody Rhodes

HBK - Cody Rhodes


And with that final prediction it's now time that things became EXTREME!!!!!



Commentary: With no more hesitation it's time to get extreme, and we start off with two of WWE's most respected athletes, Jeff Hardy & Kofi Kingston in a ladder match to not only finally decide who is the master of High Flying, but also give the winner a future shot at either the Intercontinental Title or Tag Team Titles...........


Kofi Kingston v Jeff Hardy

Ladder Match


Winner: Kofi Kingston

Kofi stands at the top of the ladder proudly holding the Title shot contract and the moniker of king of the ladder matches, as Jeff Hardy makes his way to the exit, refusing to look back...............

Backstage: Dusty Rhodes walks into Cody's locker room, where Cody is calmly even arrogantly lounging back with the WWE Title over his shoulder, he asks Cody to change the stipulation for tonights match, he still has time, his family are proud of him, he doesn't need to go down the road he's heading toward.
Still seated Cody tells his father that he has no intention of changing the stipulation, because he wants to see his brother bleed like a stuffed pig............then standing up and looking his father straight in the eye, before uttering "just like you used to", then barges by his father and walks out.............
Commentary: After that comment by Cody, there is almost a loss of words, but will that fire up Goldust' later tonight?
Now onto the culmination of a 2 month feud as Nikki Bella & Katie Lea collide in a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

Katie Lea v Nikki Bella

Falls Count Anywhere


Winner: Katie Lea via Pinfall.

And so with that rivalry seemingly settled, Nikki must now turn her attention to Melina and the Diva's Title, and speaking of Titles, it's now time for Motor City Machine Guns to back up their claims on Friday that they will win the Tag Titles with a decision inside the ring, even though it's a Cage Match, which can be won via escaping the cage................

(c) Beer Money v Motor City Machine Guns

WWE Tag Team Titles

Steel Cage


Winners & STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Beer Money via Escaping the Cage.

Backstage: Earlier tonight, Mick Foley brought back the Hardcore Title, explaining that whoever took possession of and walked out of the arena with it, would be the NEW Hardcore Champion, and R-Truth and Heath Slater were eyeing each other up...................the Hardcore Championship battle was about to begin...........


R-Truth v Heath Slater

Hardcore Title


Winner & New Hardcore Champion R-Truth via Pinfall.


Ryback v (c) Jack Swagger

Submission Match

United States Title


Winner: Ryback via Submission.


Commentary: Up next is the WWE Womens Title match between current Champion Summer Rae and her opponent who in recent weeks has seemingly become unpredictable, Brie Bella.................

and then the commentary team are astounded by the arrival of James Mitchell, who without uttering a word or acknowledging them takes a seat at the commentary desk.

 

(c) Summer Rae v Brie Bella

WWE Womens Title


Winner and still Womens Champion: Summer Rae.


Post Match: Having been silent all the way through the match, James Mitchell then utters the following "After tonight, She will return and she will not come alone".................and then he leaves................but what did that mean?

Backstage: Dusty Rhodes meets with Goldust, he informs Goldust that he may not like it, but tonight he HAS to bring Cody back to earth...........for his own good........................however Goldust can't see him making his brother bleed, he will try one last time to get through to Cody with no conflict.
 
Pre-Match: Cody enters the ring, but immediately grabs a microphone, he's not waiting for the announcements, he wants this match started...............
Goldust answers the call and enters the ring, and as he does so, Cody demands the bell be rung to start the match, however Goldust makes one last plea to save their relationship, to keep the family solid, shake his hand and Goldust will forfeit the match................
Cody hesitates, then holds his hand out, Goldust moves to offer his hand, but is then sucker punched by Cody...............which Goldust instinctively then strikes back..............and immediately regrets it................Cody touches his cheek.............with a sly grin on his face, he had Goldust right where he wanted him, he then steps back.............as Goldust looks despairingly...............Cody gets into fight stance..................and the match will go ahead...............Goldust realises there's no way out.

(c) Cody Rhodes v Goldust

First Blood

WWE Title

 

Winner and still WWE Champion: Cody Rhodes.

Post Match: Cody stepped over his beaten and bloodied brother as he exit the ring, then on reaching the top of the entrance ramp held aloft the WWE Title, slyly grinning, as Goldust struggled to get back to his feet, but looked back to Cody with despair...........

After that vicious and uncomfortable match, we now move onto another highly charged and personal match, as long time rivals Edge & A J Styles will clash, in an unsanctioned match...............

Edge v A J Styles

Unsanctioned Match

Mid Match: Unsurprisingly the ring wasn't going to contain these two warring opponents, the fight was taken to the back where anything they could use, they used on each other.


Winner: Edge via Pinfall.

Post Match: Edge was victorious, ending the match with an Edgecution on the Parking Bay concrete...........

Coming up next the Main Event as Daniel Bryan finally gets the one on one World Championship match against Brock Lesnar, could this be Bryan's big moment, or will Lesnar conquer once again?
But with a last minute stipulation added, this match is now a KNOCKOUT Match..............

(c) Brock Lesnar v Daniel Bryan
Knockout Match
World Heavyweight Championship

 

Winner & STILL World Heavyweight Champion: Brock Lesnar via Knockout.


Post Match: After a gruelling matchup which showed Daniel Bryan's never give up attitude, which was ultimately decided by 3 F-5's and a ladder shot to the face, Lesnar stood tall standing over the body of Bryan with the Championship held aloft..................
