Extreme Rules WWE Championship Match: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. Kane
These two were such good friends.
But Stephanie McMahon challenged Kane's manhood or something, so they're not anymore.
No actual idea what an "extreme rules" match is. Sounds like the time back in 1993 that The Undertaker was in a "Rest in Peace" match, and the match came and went without anyone knowing what that meant.
Six-Man Tag: Evolution vs. The Shield
All three members of Evolution had designs on Daniel Bryan's WWE Title the night after WrestleMania, but just as HHH was going to start a title shot against a beaten-down Bryan, we had an interruption.
They thwarted Evolution's hopes.
The next week, Evolution struck back.
Seems only natural the two sides should face each other in an actual match, so here we are.
Cage Match: John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
John Cena beat Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania, but Wyatt has vowed to continue in his quest to unleash the demon within Cena. Fans have been singing along with Bray's rendition of "He's Got The Whole World in His Hands," because sing-along is ****ing catnip to wrestling crowds and they'll sing along with literally anything, but Bray is of course referring to this as the crowd turning on Cena.
He struck the ultimate blow last Monday night when he led a whole children's choir to the ring, singing along with him. It was awesome.
Intercontinental Title: Big E (c) vs. Bad News Barrett
Bad News Barrett ran through some competition to win the honor of #1 contender to the Intercontinental Title. He appears to be in the middle of a big push.
Big E has been shown watching Barrett's push from a monitor in the back, so that's his part in the build to this match. It would be bizarre if this wasn't a title change.
Triple Threat Elimination Match: Cesaro vs. RVD vs. Jack Swagger
Cesaro and Swagger broke up a month ago as a tag team, with Cesaro defecting to Paul Heyman's camp instead of turning babyface. RVD is thrown in as a token babyface here for a triple threat, I guess just so that they don't have an awkward heel vs. heel match where the crowd inevitably heavily favors Cesaro.
Swagger interfered in Cesaro's match with RVD in the IC Title #1 Contender tourney, allowing RVD to win.
RVD then disrespected Zeb Colter backstage, causing Cesaro to come wreck RVD's match in the tournament finals, and the three got into a fight. That leads to this.
Divas Title: Paige (c) vs. Tamina
Paige won the Divas Title from AJ Lee on the April 7th Raw after WrestleMania. Tamina won a battle royale on Main Event after that to become #1 contender. I can't imagine she has any shot at unseating Paige here, but who knows.

This will be pointless and unwatchable.
