Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss title match confirmed for WWE Extreme Rules

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Alexa Bliss is getting another shot at the SmackDown Women’s Championship.

It was confirmed tonight that Bayley will defend her SmackDown Women’s title against Bliss at Extreme Rules. Nikki Cross defeated Bayley in a non-title match on SmackDown to win the title shot for Bliss.

Bayley retained her title against Bliss at Stomping Grounds on Sunday. Cross was in Bliss’ corner for the match. Bayley accidentally hit Cross with a suicide dive when Bliss pushed Cross in the way, and Cross tried to get into the ring and go after Bayley. Bayley got her knees up on a Twisted Bliss attempt soon after that, then hit the Bayley-to-Belly to retain.

On Raw, Cross blamed herself for Bliss’ loss and wanted Bliss to get her rematch.

The Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is hosting Extreme Rules on July 14. Here’s the updated card for the pay-per-view:

  • The Undertaker & Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre
  • Universal Champion Seth Rollins & Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defending against Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans (winners-take-all stipulation with both titles on the line)
  • WWE Champion Kofi Kingston defending against Samoa Joe
  • SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley defending against Alexa Bliss
  • WWE Cruiserweight Champion Drew Gulak defending against Tony Nese

Ahead of tonight’s SmackDown, WWE confirmed another one of the top matches for Extreme Rules.

Kofi Kingston will defend his WWE Championship against Samoa Joe at the pay-per-view. Their program began on last night’s Raw, with Joe attacking Kingston and putting him in the Coquina Clutch after Kingston defeated Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in singles matches.

WWE also posted a video where Dolph Ziggler was unhappy about Kingston vs. Joe being made for Extreme Rules.

Tonight’s SmackDown will feature Kingston responding to Joe’s attack.

Kingston retained the WWE title against Ziggler in a steel cage match at Stomping Grounds on Sunday, while Joe lost the United States Championship to Ricochet.

Extreme Rules is taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 14. Universal Champion Seth Rollins & Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will face Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans at the PPV, and Roman Reigns & The Undertaker will team against Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre.

Rollins & Lynch vs. Corbin & Evans has a winners-take-all stipulation, with both the Universal and Raw Women’s Championships on the line as part of the match.

The Undertaker is officially set for a match at Extreme Rules.

Roman Reigns & The Undertaker will take on Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre at Extreme Rules. The pay-per-view is being held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 14.

The match was set up by The Undertaker’s surprise appearance on tonight’s post-Stomping Grounds edition of Raw. Shane & McIntyre faced Reigns in a handicap match where they could be in the ring at the same time and didn’t have to make tags. Undertaker made the save for Reigns and took out both Shane & McIntyre.

This will be the second time that The Undertaker has wrestled in 2019. He defeated Goldberg at Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia earlier this month.

In what appeared like it was going to be Undertaker’s retirement match at the time, Reigns defeated Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 

Universal Champion Seth Rollins & Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans has also been confirmed for Extreme Rules. The Universal and Raw Women’s Championships will both be on the line, with the winning team getting the respective titles.

After it was set up at Stomping Grounds, WWE has made a mixed tag match official for Extreme Rules.

Universal Champion Seth Rollins & Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will team against Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans at Extreme Rules. Rollins and Lynch’s titles will both be on the line in the match, with the winning team getting the respective titles.

Dave Meltzer reported in today’s Daily Update that Rollins & Lynch vs. Corbin & Evans was planned for Extreme Rules.

Rollins & Lynch kicked off tonight’s post-Stomping Grounds episode of Raw. They were interrupted by Corbin’s music, with Evans then ambushing Lynch. Rollins & Lynch fought Corbin & Evans off, then Corbin & Evans proposed the mixed tag match for Extreme Rules.

Lynch accepted under the condition that Corbin & Evans couldn’t get another shot against Rollins & Lynch if they lost. Corbin & Evans wanted another stipulation, and Rollins accepted without hearing what it was. Corbin then said Rollins and Lynch’s titles would both be on the line in the match.

Rollins retained the Universal Championship against Corbin in the main event of Stomping Grounds, while Lynch retained her Raw Women’s title against Evans in the opening match of the main card. Evans was the special guest referee for Rollins vs. Corbin but was taken out by Lynch at the end of the match.
