Several Notes & Possible Spoilers for Tonight’s Extreme Rules Event

WWE heads to Baltimore, MD for tonight’s Extreme Rules event. Here are a couple of notes and possible spoilers for tonight’s show:

With only six matches announced for the card, the Fatal 5-Way main event is expected to receive a lot of time.
While there is no pre-show match announced for the show, it is very possible that they either add a cruiserweight match or R-Truth vs. Goldust.
With The Hardy Boyz winning every match heading to their bout against Sheamus and Cesaro, it is possible that they drop the titles.
The Drifter is expected to attack The Miz because he “owes him one”.
Per betting odds, Samoa Joe is expected to win the Fatal 5-Way. It should be noted that betting odds are not always correct.

Check back here at 7PM ET for our play-by-play coverage of tonight’s show. We will also have a Extreme Rules discussion on our new social media site, RingsideTalk.net.

New Match Announced for Extreme Rules

Ahead of tonight’s Extreme Rules event, WWE has announced that Kalisto will face Apollo Crews on tonight’s Kickoff Pre-show.

They wrote the following on their website regarding the bout:

Apollo Crews will look to once again represent The Titus Brand tonight when he squares off with Kalisto on WWE Extreme Rules Kickoff, streaming live on WWE Network.

In an effort to prove himself worthy of The Titus Brand, Crews faced off with The King of Flight two weeks ago in a semi-friendly match on Raw. However, when Kalisto overcame Crews, a disappointed O’Neil volunteered to show his protégé how it’s done by going one-on-one with the former United States Champion himself. O’Neil bested his masked opponent with the help of a hand full of tights, which he informed Crews was just the way to showing his man the ropes.

Can Crew make O’Neil happy by besting Kalisto? Find out on WWE Network, tonight beginning at 7 ET/ 4 PT, streaming live on the award-winning WWE Network.

Vader’s last match was in a six-man tag with Keiji Muto & AKIRA against Fujinami, Riki Choshu & Shiro Koshinaka at Korakuen Hall in Japan back in April. Vader passed out after the bout due to an apparent head injury he suffered during the bout.

As previously noted, Vader indicated last November he only had two years to live due to suffering from congestive heart failure. He has been lobbying for a WWE Hall of Fame induction before he passes.

WWE Extreme Rules Results – June 4 2017

Welcome to Ringside News’ coverage of WWE Extreme Rules 2017!

Let’s start at the top for a change: the Kick-Off show begins at 7:00 PM EST, and the main show starts at 8 PM. The Kick-Off show will see another rematch between Kalisto and Apollo Crews, with Titus O’Neil in Apollo’s corner. Originally the pre-show match was supposed to be the mixed tag match but it was changed just today. So join us for the Kick-Off show and get the results of this match and the rundown of the entire card.

Two tag team matches take place on the main card tonight, one of which is The Hardy Boyz Vs Sheamus & Cesaro for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships. This match will take place inside of a steel cage and the stipulation is fitting because things have gotten personal between the two teams. The other match is the mixed tag team match with Rich Swann & Sasha Banks against Noam Dar and Alicia Fox. This match was on the pre-show but was moved to the main card, as far as I can tell. The match doesn’t really have a stipulation, besides the genders, but it will look to settle the score once and for all between Noam Dar, Alicia Fox, and Rich Swann.

Dean Ambrose puts his Intercontinental Championship on the line against The Miz on tonight’s show. This match is kind of the opposite of every other on the card tonight, as Dean Ambrose will lose his title if he gets disqualified against Miz. This stipulation was put in place because The Miz claims Ambrose cannot win matches without getting crazy, and also to differentiate it from the rest of the card. The odds are already stacked against Ambrose, but there is a strong chance Elias Samson may interfere and attack The Miz – reflecting his “eye for an eye” lyric on Raw this past week. Let us know who you think will walk out with the gold!

Speaking of gold, Neville stands a strong chance of losing his tonight, as he faces Austin Aries in a submission match. This is the third PPV in a row that Neville and Aries will have gone toe-to-toe and it seems like the chances of Neville retaining are super slim. Aries has been run through the gauntlet time and time again by Neville and TJP, but tonight the odds actually favour him, and the only way to keep things going is for Aries to grab a win against the King of the Cruiserweights.

Alexa Bliss battles Bayley in a Kendo Stick-On-A-Pole match, following one of the worst WWE TV segments in recent memory. Last Monday, Bliss gave us a Bayley, This Is Your Life segment, but what transpired was a lot more like Jerry Springer than The Rock ‘n’ Sock Connection. This left us less-than-excited for the title match tonight, especially considering the gimmick of the match means that there won’t be any use of the Kendo Stick for the majority of the match. I expect this match to be as good as it could be, simply because of how good Bayley and Alexa are, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bayley take the win!

The main event tonight is the first-ever Extreme Rules Fatal 5-Way between Finn Balor, Samoa Joe, Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns.

Kelly Kelly’s Husband Goes Off on Fan Who Called Her A “Self-Centered Worthless Pig”

Former WWE Diva Kelly Kelly posted this photo and message on Instagram reflecting on her visit to Afghanistan years ago with WWE:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BUsH-BulZE1/

One male fan didn’t like her post and wrote the following response:

“Hahaha you post a picture of yourself on #MemorialDay could you be anymore of a self centered worthless pig?”

Her husband Sheldon Souray had the following remarks to say towards the fan’s negative comments:

“looks like you lost a fight with a barbell there you meathead. Does it make you feel like less of a man that a young lady that was/is adored and admired by so many brave men and women protecting our country for dipshits like you?!! Does it bother you that My wife is a young successful powerful woman with a heart of gold that put her life on the line to put a smile on a few faces?! Whatever the reason is that you felt compelled to write a moronic post on her page, just shows what an absolute piece of shit you are. I can’t respond to every big dumb idiot like yourself that trolls a superstar like @thebarbieblank but I couldn’t let it slide that you are a giant clown. So next time your trolling her social media looking at her stunning pictures that her fans really enjoy, keep your mouth shut. It’s hard to be dumber than you look but you’ve proven your point.”

Kelly responded to her husband sticking up for her with the following:

“that’s my man always having my back !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you baby!!!! #killedem @bigguyheat take a walk you troll because my man just showed you whose boss!!!!!”

WWE Interested In Another Top ROH Wrestler

Aside from WWE being interested in signing Adam Cole to an NXT developmental deal, there is another wrestler that they are also interested in.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dalton Castle is on their radar and the company may attempt to pursuit him. It’s being said that his deal with Ring of Honor is up this month and WWE has shown “great interest” in him. The feeling is that he could be a major Superstar in NXT if the two agree to a deal.

If WWE does decide to reach out to him, he will not be debuting for the company right away if a deal is signed. WWE has a new policy where talents must wait at least 90-days until after their ROH contract runs out to appear on their television. This was done because of past legal issues between WWE and Ring of Honor.

Possible Spoiler for Sunday’s Intercontinental Title Match at Extreme Rules

Dean Ambrose is scheduled to defend his Intercontinental Championship against The Miz at Extreme Rules with the stipulation being that the title will change hands should Ambrose get disqualified.

It’s being speculated that Ambrose could get disqualified and lose the championship at the hands of Elias Samson. The Belief is that to follow up on one of the lyrics to his song this past week, which included the phrase “an eye for an eye.” If you remember, The Miz attacked Samson during his debut match and is likely the person to whom the “an eye for an eye” line is directed at.
