TONIGHT ON RAW: After Seth Rollins (the challenger for the WWE Universal Championship at Extreme Rules) got the last word in on the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar last week, “The Beast” plans on calling out “The Architect” once more. Although many are warning Rollins that this could be a setup for an ambush.
UPDATE: RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon announces that a trade took place last week that saw Buzz go to SmackDown Live in exchange for a SmackDown Live Superstar to arrive at a later date. As a result, the Fatal 5-Way Extreme Rules match at the PPV next Sunday will feature Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, Samoa Joe, “The Game” Triple H and Bray Wyatt!
IN TONIGHT'S MAIN EVENT: The competitors in that Fatal 5-Way Extreme Rules Match will square off in tag team action tonight as Samoa Joe and Bray Wyatt take on Finn Bálor and...well...nobody in that Fatal 5-Way has offered to team with Finn.
MATCH #1
(RIVALRY)
Non-Title
Normal Match
The Miz (w/Maryse) vs Darren Young (w/Bob Backlund)
WINNER: The Miz

Post-Match: After a competitive match-up, Darren Young offers Miz a handshake who in-turn just slaps it off and yells at Darren to get out of the champ's ring.
IN 12 DAYS AT WWE EXTREME RULES: With one win a piece against each other, “The Boss” Sasha Banks and Maryse will meet in a showdown to settle the score. When Maryse initially beat Sasha, she was satisfied with the sole victory and wanted to put Sasha in her rear-view mirror. Now that Maryse lost to Sasha Banks in their rematch, all of a sudden she's in favor of another match against Sasha.
BACKSTAGE: Maryse asks Emma to team up with her tonight against Sasha Banks and Bayley, promising Emma big things if they can pick up a big win.

Tag Team Match
Sasha Banks & Bayley vs Maryse & Emma

LAST WEEK ON RAW: The Miztourage picked up a huge victory as they knocked off The Hardy Boyz, likely dashing Matt and Jeff's hopes for challenging the RAW Tag Team Champions at Extreme Rules.
NEXT: If Heath Slater and Rhyno can knock off The Miztourage tonight then they will be one step closer to challenging The Bar for the RAW Tag Team Championships at Extreme Rules.
BACKSTAGE: The RAW Tag Team Champions, The Bar, thank The Miztourage for taking care of The Hardy Boyz for them and thank them again for handling Heath Slater and Rhyno tonight. The call Axel and Dallas charitable fellas for helping them so much despite them being The Miz's backup.
As The Bar leave, Curtis and Bo look at each other and ask them if The Bar plan on rewarding them with an opportunity at the RAW Tag Team Titles.
MATCH #3

BACKSTAGE: Without saying any words, Gallows and Anderson approach Finn Bálor and throw up the “Too Sweet” sign in what appears to be The Club members offering their assistance to Finn tonight. Finn, who is all smiles, leaves them hanging.
IN 12 DAYS AT WWE EXTREME RULES: Former Cruiserweight Champion Neville goes one on one against the reigning Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander in a Submission Match as Neville's Rings of Saturn threaten Cedric's reign! Is “The Age of Alexander” here to stay or will we once again see “The King of the Cruiserweights” reign?

After last season on RAW, Nia has experience dealing with the former RAW Women's Champion.
MATCH #5
Normal Match
Paige vs Nia Jax (w/Alexa Bliss)
Mid-Match: Alexa distracts Paige and later distracts the official by undoing a turnbuckle pad.
WINNER: Nia Jax
Method: Pinfall
Finish: Samoan Drop
Post-Match: Nia decides against leaving to stomp away at Paige, further softening Paige up for Alexa Bliss.
INTERVIEW: Finn Bálor doesn't care that he doesn't have a tag partner tonight. As far as he's concerned, tonight is just a preview since at Extreme Rules he's going to have to contend with four other Superstars rather than two.
MATCH #6
MAIN EVENT
Two on One Handicap Match
Finn Bálor vs Samoa Joe & Bray Wyatt
WINNERS: Samoa Joe & Bray Wyatt
Method: Pinfall from Wyatt on Bálor

SHOW CLOSER PROMO
The WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar once again calls out his opponent at Extreme Rules, Seth Rollins. As predicted, Brock attacks Rollins just when it appears that Seth is once again about to best Brock on the mic.
NEWS
The Miz picked up a non-title win against Darren Young. Despite the sportsman-like display from the challenger, the winner looked insulted that his opponent wanted to shake hands, and refused in a display of disrespect! No doubt this act will rattle the loser's focus, seeds of doubt possibly planted after tonight.
