As per Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, the advertised six-man tag team match pitting The Bloodline against The New Day was slated to headline the show, but WWE decided to book a triple threat between Reigns, Lashley, and Big E on Monday afternoon to draw the strongest ratings possible.
During and after the tag team match, an irate Bobby Lashley attacked everyone in his sight and demanded to face both Big E and the Tribal Chief that night. His request was granted, but he was unable to win the bout. The show saw a viewership increase to 1.790 million from last week’s 1.670 million.
Roman Reigns will battle ‘Demon’ Finn Balor at WWE Extreme Rules
Reigns’ run as Universal Champion has been unstoppable, and it’ll go down as one of the greatest title reigns in recent memory. The Head of the Table, however, has a huge obstacle he needs to overcome in the form of a demon.
This Sunday at WWE Extreme Rules, Reigns will put his title on the line against The Demon King in an Extreme Rules match. The Demon has never lost a match on the main roster, and he may remain undefeated when the dust settles.
Balor is the first-ever Universal Champion, and he’ll do everything in his power to reclaim what was once his. Roman isn’t fazed though, as he vowed to give Balor a beat down and a trip to the ‘Island of Relevancy.’
