WWE Extreme Rules: Live Updates and Results

Tonight the WWE holds it’s annual Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View live from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

The pre show opens up with Renee Young, Booker T, Jerry Lawler, and Corey Graves hyping up the show.

Out of nowhere, The Dudley Boyz are coming out to the ring. It seems like they are here to wrestle a match. The arena filled up pretty quickly when the music hit. They apparently came out just to talk about how extreme they are. A typical plug for ECW on the WWE Network. Bubba say that ECW went strait into the toilet because they left. He also says that the toilet is where the careers of the “new era” superstars are going. Devon says that they aren’t on the PPV because they are above extreme. And out comes Big Cass.

Cass says that the reason why Bubba wont say “get the tables” because they ate the table and everything on it. He goes on to list all types of food while the crowd says “How you doin”. Cass goes on a rant about the “new era” being better than them. Cass gets in the ring and instantly gets a two on one attack. The Dudley boyz beat him up, Cass sidesteps Devon and Devon takes out Bubba Ray. Cass comes out on top.

My guess is that Enzo will be back soon and this is the re-ignition of the Enzo and Cass Vs. The Dudley Boyz feud. Overall I give this segment a B-

The Miz drops one of the best backstage promo’s I have ever seen him in, and it seems like “The New Era” is going to be a major talking point tonight.
