Maybe Drew beats Lashley and then gets jumped by LARS

They intentionally put Bryan and AJ on Smackdown because they knew they’d upstage Edge and Orton and they most certainly did.

I legit loved that Miz/Morrison music video

I refuse to believe Edge/Orton will be the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever in a world where King Mabel vs Diesel at SummerSlam 1995 happened.

"Apollo is putting things into Cruise Control"

- Michael Cole

Supposedly the taping for the Edge vs. Orton match was around 30-35 minutes in length so depending on what WWE did for edits and post-production, likely going to be another lengthy match from them.

here we go

WWE going "ALL IN" on that greatest match ever marketing ploy

That Backlash hype video was pretty much just about the Edge vs. Orton match and nothing else for tonight.

I also heard



I didn't see any outcome spoiler though

owenbrown marking out for iiconics r/n

Yeah Fightful reported earlier that happened and WWE keeping it hidden since they don't want normal fans to know the match was taped beforehand.

The IIconics are somehow worse than ever before

They looked way better during last Monday's Triple Threat tag match.

Doesn't help the crowd hasn't been that active during it.

I miss Ronda Rousey...wish she would come out and defeat all six of these women for the tag belts right now

Sasha keeps doing all the work to keep the tag belts

Women's tag title match was decent at best.

Nikki and Alexa somehow managed to pull off one of the worst ever looking double team moves.

Can't believe Strowman went from Revenge of the Nerds and Bloodsport to WWE Champ, what a guy.

Very cheerful/upbeat logo for EXTREME RULES

:lol: at the piss throwing replay getting the epic music treatment.

Also bit weird they had that as part of the hype video since supposedly WWE quickly cut out that segment from SmackDown's replay on tv.

Sheamus a lot smaller/leaner than he used to be

Ouch at Jeff's head smacking off the mat.

Sheamus pretty much just dropped him without bothering to help protect his fall.

For a feud meant to be very personal, this match doesn't feel like it at all.

I feel its more likely some sort of gimmick match with him and Sheamus. A fall off the wagon match or something

Lol

Hardy got beat clean

I didn't expect a clean win for Sheamus, that's the first surprise of the night.

Jeff vs. Sheamus was decent at best.

Probably the sloppiest match Sheamus and Jeff have had in their WWE careers considering the amount of miscues that happened.

She's not like most girls!

God I hope this is short

Lol chink in the armor

Ugh

Nia's been calling a few spots a bit too loud. Botchamania is going to have a field day with this match if Nia keeps at it.

A double count-out, Lame

:| a double countout finish.

Is WWE trying to purposely make this show as dull and boring as possible so that Edge vs. Orton looks even more great by comparison?

Braun has a pretty snazzy titan tron
