We get our first promo for Great Balls of Fire in July and I like that they’re going full 50’s on it, rather than be all about fire and try to be tough. Here’s the trailer:
The commentators confirm that the winner of the next match will face Brock Lesnar at Great Balls of Fire. Bray Wyatt comes out first for the huge Fatal 5-Way match.
Extreme Rules Fatal 5-Way Match
The Winner Becomes Numbers One Contender
Bray Wyatt Vs. Seth Rollins Vs. Samoa Joe Vs. Roman Reigns Vs. Finn Balor
The bell rings and Bray Wyatt goes after Bray Wyatt, while Rollins goes after Samoa Joe. Roman stands in the ring and watches the chaos unfold. They all spill to the outside and still Roman watches.

Bray comes back inside and takes the fight to Roman but gets punches into the corner. Roman hits a Samoan drop on Bray, then Samoa Joe appears and tries to land one of his own but Roman reverses and lands a Samoan drop. Balor enters and attacks Roman. Reigns looks for the Samoan drop again but Balor climbs down and onto the apron. Balor looks for an enziguiri but Reigns blocks it and knocks Finn from the apron. Now Seth is in the ring with Roman but before they can do much, Bray and Joe comes back.
Joe tosses Seth from the ring and looks for a suicide dive but Rollins slides back in as Joe flies out, then Rollins hits a suicide dive on Joe. Inside the ring, Finn dropkicks Bray Wyatt, then stomps him out of the ring. Rollins tries to slide in but Balor stomps him back out. Then the same thing to Joe. Balor then hits a tope onto all three men outside of the ring. Finn stands tall…only for Reigns to hit him with an uppercut. Reigns looks for a drive-by kick but Joe takes him out in mid-air – to the delight of the fans.
Joe slams Roman into the barricade, and Joe seems to be a big fan favourite. Joe and Bray team-up to beat Roman. They toss him into the steel steps, then grab a side of the steps each and run them into Seth, then around the ring to Finn. And then back around to Roman as well for a big cheer. The fans give them a standing ovation.

Finn then hits Bray and moves out of the way, allowing Joe to run headfirst into a chair in the corner. Roman then hits Bray with a drive-by as he hangs on the bottom rope.
Roman powerbombs Finn before unleashing multiple clotheslines to Bray in the corner and a big boot to Joe. Roman is fired-up and getting a mixed reaction. Roman takes to the corner and powers-up for a Superman punch but Samoa Joe drags him out of the ring and the two of them trade blows. Bray then attacks Roman from behind and hits a Urinage Slam on the announce table! Bray looks to come back inside but Rollins knocks him off the apron, then brings Bray inside and hits a springboard attack for a near-fall.
