legs weren’t moving. Michael Cole explains that the explosions
were because the crash happened where the show and stage are
powered from. That explains the power outages.

announcement. McMahon is pleased. McMahon says since he’s been
inundated with worrying about the condition of Braun Strowman
and Bobby Lashley, he has other things to do than be out here
and grace the crowd with his presence. However, since he is out
here, he wants to go back to last Monday’s RAW and talk about
Roman Reigns. They had the perfect setup. It was going to be the
demise of Reigns. Reigns must have been shaking in his boots
last Monday. Reigns knew he had no chance of beating them and
was scared to death.

Reigns last week on RAW. McIntyre says more of that waits Reigns
at Extreme Rules. McMahon wants to talk about the person Reigns
begged to save him, The Undertaker. McMahon has fought

says he is a hybrid of every generation and is not afraid of The
Undertaker. To be honest, he doesn’t give a damn about The
Undertaker. McIntyre heard a rumor and is here to fight. An
“Undertaker” chant fires up. McIntyre says if Undertaker is in
the building, he can either march down the ramp or magically
appear in the ring so they can tell him they’re not afraid. At
Extreme Rules, they’ll exterminate the legacy of The Undertaker.
Thunder claps sound in the arena and the lights flicker. The
lights then go out. Thunder bolts all of a sudden hit the ring
posts. The lights come back on, and McMahon and McIntyre look
worried. The bell tolls, and the lights go out. The Undertaker
then makes his legendary entrance to a huge ovation. Undertaker
makes the slow walk down to the ring. McMahon and McIntyre leave
the ring and exit through the crowd. Undertaker gets in the ring
and looks over at McMahon and McIntyre standing in the crowd.
An “Undertaker” chant fires
up. Undertaker says, “Roman Reigns never asked me for my help.
That’s not who he is, but if you need answers to the ‘why’, let
me explain to you who I am. I am and have been the reaper of
wayward souls for a long time and I’m here to collect your
souls. Now Shane, you had my respect — a little — for a while. I
mean, you gave me everything you had at Hell in a Cell at
WrestleMania… and you actually lived to tell about it. But just
like most mortal men, you fell victim to your own greed and ego.
You see, you may be the best in this world… but where I’m
sending you to, you’ll be nothing more than another couple of
lost souls suffering the torment and torture of the acrid
stench… of death. That will be for all of eternity. You two will
never Rest… In… Peace.”
Undertaker does the throat slash taunt while his music plays.
McMahon and McIntyre look unimpressed, but they still walk off.
We’ll have an exclusive
interview with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch later tonight.
We go backstage to see Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans. Corbin says
an Extreme Rules match is right up their alley. Corbin asks why
Seth Rollins would risk it all for his latest fling. Is she
worth it? Evans turns around and says Becky Lynch has fought her
entire life to make her dreams a reality. She defeated Ronda
Rousey in the main event of WrestleMania. Now Lynch has put all
her faith in Rollins. Evans says Rollins has wandering eyes. The
Man’s Man will not be able to keep his eyes off her when she
beats Natalya.
We go back into the arena to see The Undertaker making his way
up the ramp and posing for the crowd.

for the win.

Charly Caruso is backstage
with Ricochet. She mentions that AJ Styles doesn’t think
Ricochet is up to his level. Ricochet says it was an honor to
face Styles. If he had the honor to face him again, it’d be a
different result. Caruso asks if he would make a mistake…
Anderson and Gallows come up and say that Styles had him beat
from the get-go. Ricochet says if they did it again, he’d beat
Styles. They say it’s time for Ricochet to get put in his place.

them. It’s someone else and walk off.

that Ricochet said he’d beat him next time. Styles says maybe

a talk. They say Styles told them they lost their edge, but what
happened to Styles? Anderson says the Styles they know from
Japan would accept the challenge and slap Ricochet in the face.
Styles walks off and walks up to Ricochet. Styles says he heard
Ricochet was running his mouth. Styles says he’s taking the
title… tonight. Ricochet says he doesn’t know why Styles is
fired up, but he accepts. Styles gives him a vicious slap across
the face. Ricochet responds with a slap. Styles holds himself

to put their titles on the line. They fake outrage and try to be
funny.

calling themselves the WWE’s #1 couple. Lynch may have defeated
Ronda Rousey, but she pushed an 8-pound baby out of her uterus.

enough. Lynch hip tosses Mike into the ring and applies the

is the father of her children. Next time she wants to get
impregnated, she should ask Becky Lynch.
Paul Heyman walks up to
Charly Caruso backstage. Heyman says he is the advocate for Mr.
Money in the Bank 2019 Brock Lesnar. It has been a weird night
for Seth Rollins and a bad night for Kofi Kingston. That means
it’s a perfect night for his client Brock Lesnar to cash in on
them. Maybe Lesnar is here tonight… maybe he’s not. The Street
Profits walk up to him. They intimidate him with their shtick,
and Heyman looks weirded out. Heyman says he doesn’t have time
