Here's the final card of WWE Extreme Rules:

WWE Heavyweight Championship - Steel Cage: Seth Rollins © vs. Randy Orton

- One of the stipulations of this match is that Orton is banned from using the RKO. In addition, Kane will be the gatekeeper. Regardless of these, expect Rollins to keep the belt.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Daniel Bryan © vs. Bad News Barrett

- Yes! Yes! Yes! Bryan retains the belt.

WWE United States Championship - Russian Chain Match: John Cena © vs. Rusev (with Lana)

- Rusev gets buried again by Cenation.

WWE Tag Team Championship: Tyson Kidd & Cesaro © vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E, with Xavier Woods)

- It's sad that WWE no longer pays attention to the tag team division, so no matter who wins this one, no one will care. So much for Cesaro's momentum.

WWE Divas Championship: Nikki Bella © (with Brie Bella) vs. Naomi

- Paige, who was the #1 contender, was put out of commission by Naomi. Expect Naomi to win, and expect everyone else to go to the concession stands or take a piss break.

Last Man Standing: Roman Reigns vs. Big Show

- No one cares about either of these two.

Chicago Street Fight: Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper

- This fight goes to Ambrose.

Kiss My Ass Match: Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus

- What did Ziggler do to deserve this?

WWE Extreme Rules Results

Because Daniel Bryan was not medically cleared to compete, there was no Intercontinental Championship match. NXT's Neville stepped in and pinned Bad News Barrett with the Red Arrow.

Chicago Street Fight

Dean Ambrose landed the Dirty Deeds on Luke Harper over a stack of chairs.

Kiss My Arse Match

Dolph Ziggler rolled up Sheamus for the pin. After the match, Sheamus gave Ziggler a low blow and the Brogue Kick instead of puckering up.

WWE United States Championship - Russian Chain Match

John Cena © def. Rusev (with Lana).

Last Man Standing

Roman Reigns def. Big Show after spearing him through the Spanish announce table.

WWE Heavyweight Championship - Steel Cage Match

Seth Rollins © def. Randy Orton by crawling out of the cage. Even though the RKO was banned in this match, Rollins used it against Orton. Tonight's RAW will probably explain that the stipulation applied only to Orton. Whatever.

[Moly_Sigang]

In the weeks prior to this PPV Kane seems conflicted. And i thought he was going to betray the Authority and somehow help Orton win. But meh, he didn't.

i think cena may turn heel (bad guy character) soon... or at the least testing the waters. watching raw last night you can see it.

As much as I want to see Cena turn heel, it won't happen. WWE is too afraid they'll lose sponsors due to Cena's association with the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Besides, if he turns heel, the crowd will pop heavily, which means they'll turn him face again and then we'll have the dueling chants ("Let's Go Cena!"/"Cena Sucks!") all over again.

yeah that's been the hold back so far. Cena shared on the WWE podcast they were planning to turn him heel vs the rock back then and he brought all new gear for the heel turn but WWE couldn't pull the trigger.

If you heard the announcers last night you can see they're trying to set him up as a heel, even though WWE prob won't pull the trigger.

So you want G.L.O.W, P.O.W.W, W.O.W, or to a very lesser extent W.E.W?

Who doesn't want G.L.O.W.?

We may not agree on much my friend, but this... this is true.

On Con.tv (free roku channel) they had a movie dedicated to the rise and fall of G.L.O.W. It brought back some good memories. Was funny and informative.

And i still maintain that the WWE has gone so far off the rails that the anime

Wanna Be the Strongest in the World is more entertaining than the WWE is now!

The TNA ship is sinking fast. Oh wait - it already sank. Why is this company still around?

Just a week ago, news broke out that Destination America (a cable channel nobody watches) decided to cancel Impact Wrestling by late September 2015. TNA fired back by saying the report was false and, to no surprise, they're threatening to sue everyone spreading the news for defamation. Guess that's their only means of income.

BTW, TNA president Dixie Carter has been making claims that the company's income is "cash flow positive". That absolutely doesn't mean TNA is making money. Instead, parent company Panda Energy is simply tossing money in a bottomless pit to officially keep it out of the red. Oh yeah, TNA's also a tax write-off for Panda Energy.

Meanwhile, Eric Bischoff, his son Garett, and business partner Jason Hervey have sued TNA for breach of contract. According to the lawsuit, TNA owes Eric and Hervey over US$100,000 in unpaid talent fees, plus additional fees for legal services involved in the lawsuit. TNA also owes Garrett over US13,000 in unpaid talent fees. This is all just lunch money for Vinnie Mac. TNA's that financially incompetent?

So glad that Samoa Joe jumped the sunken ship for NXT.

Last week's RAW score the lowest rating since its near-death to WCW in 1997. Here's their attempt to spike ratings.

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

This week's RAW score the lowest rating since its near-death to WCW in 1997. With stuff like this happening, it comes as no surprise.

that's actually inaccurate, this week's Raw rating comes out tomorrow. LAst week's raw rating was what was the lowest.

having Brock on the show plus smash a caddy will prob drive the ratings up from last week.

[areaseven]

WWE Battleground is this Sunday, so here's the card:

WWE Heavyweight Championship: Seth Rollins © vs. Brock Lesnar
It's no secret that no one likes Rollins as the Champion, but expect him to win this match due to interference by J&J Security. Lesnar winning the title would be the better ending, but we'll have the exact same issue as last year, where he did not defend the title for over six months.

WWE Intercontinental Championship - Triple-Threat: Ryback © vs. Big Show vs. The Miz

This is gonna be a long piss break.

WWE United States Championship: John Cena © vs. Kevin Owens
Usually, it would be Cena burying Owens in this situation. But since Owens just lost the NXT Championship to Finn Bálor in Japan, there's a possibility that we'll see a new U.S. Champion.

WWE Tag Team Championship: The Prime Time Players (Titus O'Neil & Darren Young) © vs. The New Day (the two participants between Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods)

Though no one will show any interest on this, expect The New Day to regain the titles.

Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt

Reigns lost all steam after WrestleMania, so the only thing for him is to be introduced to Sister Abigail.

Randy Orton vs. Sheamus

The perfect time to take a piss break and run for some more beer.

Pre-Show Kick-Off - King of the Ring Crown: King Barrett vs. R-Truth

Bad News Barrett's promising reign as King of the Ring has been nothing but disastrous, as he jobbed to nearly the entire roster upon wearing the crown. If he loses this match, it would be the final nail to his coffin.

WWE United States Championship

John Cena © made Kevin Owens tap out to the STF to retain the title.

WWE Heavyweight Championship

So this is supposed to bee some sort of apology to the fans and an admittance that they screwed up over the whole streak thing? Well the damage is done, and I don't think anybody really wants Taker to win merely out of spite. I say let Lesnar win, destroy Taker annd make this his retirement match.

Nah, it's just WWE running out of ideas, plain and simple.

[renegadeleader1]

Well Hulk Hogan's done. The WWE just canned him, removed any mention of him from the websites, and revoked his hall of fame membership.

Initial reports mentioned they cut ties over racist remarks assumed to stem from an interview from 2012 where he dropped the N-bomb repeatedly in relation to the infamous Booker T video. Apparently it actually stems from transcripts of the recent sextape that was leaked online that Hogan is suing a website over.

The only good thing that's going to come from this is my WWE games with Hogan in it jumping in value.

[areaseven]

Here are the details:

WWE Terminates Hulk Hogan, Erases Him from Web Site

I don't know with you guys, but WWE is a bit hypocritical on their side. They fired Hogan for making a racist remark outside the business, yet they also fired Alberto Del Rio because he reacted to a racist remark from a WWE executive (Koko B. Ware was also fired for nearly exactly the same reason, but according to Vinnie Mac himself, he fired the executive involved in that incident). Also, WWE really does not have a good track record with diversity.

On a side note, given that there's still bad blood between Hogan and Vinnie Mac, it's not surprising that Hogan would once again leave the WWE on a sour note.
