Match 1 - Daniel Bryan (c) v Bad News Barrett v Sheamus v R-Truth for the Intercontinental Title inside a Steel Cage.
Over the next few weeks, Bryan defends his championship against a variety opponents, having already knocked off Ziggler this past Monday night. Sheamus continues to avoid fighting the champ like a man, instead resorting to sneak attacks backstage and after the matches. Barrett, lingering in the background, keeps reminding us that he's due a rematch and will do so on his own time.
On the final RAW before Extreme Rules, there's a Tag Team match between Sheamus and Barrett against Bryan and Truth. Those from our little island pick up the win and cut a promo after the match. It winds up when Barrett tells Sheamus "he's got some bad news" and hits the Bullhammer on the Irishman.
At Extreme Rules, those two battle against each other for most of the match before turning their attentions to Bryan. Truth, finds his way to the top of the cage but then suddenly his fear of heights hits home again and he starts climbing back down. Bullhammer catches him before Bad News eats a Brogue Kick before Sheamus catches a flying knee to the mush. Bryan retains.
Winner - Daniel Bryan

Match 3 - Paige v Bella Twins for the Divas Title
Despite AJ leaving WWE, the Bella Twins continue to make Paige's life a misery. In the weeks leading up to Extreme Rules, Paige is given a different partner every week but constantly loses. The Bellas get even more confident and then laugh at Paige when she wants a shot at the Divas Title. So Paige says she'll take on both Bellas on her own if the title is on the line. Eventually they agree.
The stipulation is though if Brie pins Paige, then she wins the title rather than retaining it for Nikki. So when Brie goes for the pin, Nikki gets a cob on and breaks up the pin. This lead to the twins arguing. In the meantime, Paige recovers. Knocks Brie out the ring before hitting the Rampaige on Nikki to win her third Divas Title.

Match 5 - Miz v Mizdow in a First Blood Match (do they even still exist?)
The two finally split and are given a match at Extreme Rules. They simply want to tear the other apart and the only way to settle it is in a First Blood Match. Miz has some dirty tricks though and while the ref's back is turned, uses a fake blood capsule to try to and show he's won the match.
The ref buys it as well, awarding the victory to Miz, much to the disappointment of the fans. After the match though, Mizdow gets his revenge by hitting a skull crushing finale on a steel chair, busting Miz open in the process.
Winner - Miz

All six look strong going into Extreme Rules, picking up victories over others on the roster (including former World Champs like Ziggler, Kane, Big Show and Mark Henry). It's really difficult to pick who's going to win the match though of course the fans all think it's Reigns. The match is as exciting as anything else on the card, ensuring all six men look strong coming out of it.
It breaks down to the two former members of the Shield, Reigns and Ambrose. Reigns hits the Superman Punch on Ambrose, who falls into the ropes and does his clothesline, knocking Reigns down. Ambrose goes to the top rope, hits his elbow drop and gets the victory.

Main Event - Seth Rollins v Randy Orton for the WWE Title in a Street Fight
Despite Triple H, Seth Rollins and the entire Authority thinking the future is now, Randy Orton has other ideas. He gets the Authority to give him his match for the WWE Title by putting on the line that he'll never challenge for the title again while Rollins is champ.
The match they deliver is as good as the one from WrestleMania. They don't use a lot of the stipulation, instead rely on good old fashioned wrestling. They give everything they have to the other, both countering the other's finishers. Eventually, Rollins picks up the victory when he hits Orton with the Curb Stomp on the cinder blocks. Orton is out cold, Rollins is laughing evily as the Authority joins him in his celebration.
Winner - Seth Rollins
