We return from a KFC advert to see Elias Samson in the ring. He gets fantastic heat when he’s introduced. Samson said he’s going to play a song he wrote while walking along the boardwalk today. “Please, hold your applause until the end of the song”.
The spotlight is on… the guitar has been strummed… @IAmSamsonWWE has something to say to the @WWEUniverse! #ExtremeRules pic.twitter.com/fKcjqElOZK

Samson plays his song, calling Baltimore “bathed in filth”, and saying all the people are the same, and the city is “depressing”. He gets good heat throughout the song and it was a bit different from his usual songs. The commentators moan about him afterwards.
WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Kendo Stick-On-A-Pole Match
(C) Alexa Bliss Vs. Bayley
The bell rings and confidently moves away from the pole and tells Bayley to go get it, but as soon as Bayley moves Alexa yanks her to the ground. Bayley hits Alexa’s head off of the top turnbuckle and Alexa responds with a big right hand and Bayley rolls from the ring.

Aleax starts climbingup the turnbuckle to get the Kendo Stick but Bayley climbs up from the apron and they battle atop the ropes. Bayley grabs the Stick but both women fall from the top rope to the floor and suddenly it’s a race to grab the Stick laying in the ring. Both women slide inside to grab the stick but Bayley knocks Alexa back outside and lands a belly-to-back suplex. Bayley returns to the ring and grabs the Kendo Stick.
Bayley chases Alexa around the ring before they go back inside and Alexa begs her not to hit her. Bayley very slowly lifts the Stick above her but Alexa tackles Bayley and grabs the Stick for herself. Alexa goes to work, laying shot after shot into the back of Bayley.

Bayley catches Bliss with a sudden Bayley-to-Belly but she’s too hurt to make the cover. The Kendo Stick lays propped in the corner and Bayley moves to grab it but Alexa shoves her into it. Alexa hits Bayley with the Kendo Stick again and then the Bliss DDT for the surprisingly quick win!
Winner: Alexa Bliss
The announcers mention that Bayley seemed to hesitate when she had the Stick. They also remind us that, on the Kick-Off Show, Nia Jax said she is next in line.
