Rumors on Possible Extreme Rules Role For Bray Wyatt
Earlier in the night, Orton took on Cesaro and the match ended when Tyson Kidd interfered. Kane then announced it was now a handicap match and if Orton lost, he was no longer No. 1 contender, but if he won he would get to pick the stipulation for his match with Rollins. Orton won after hitting Kidd with the RKO.
Rollins was slated to face Dolph Ziggler, but said he didn't want to and Kane announced that it would be Rollins vs. Kane instead. "The Architect" won after Kane hit him with a chokeslam and then laid down for the three.
Another major stipulation was added to United States Champion John Cena's title defense against Rusev at Extreme Rules. After Cena defeated hometown hero Bad News Barrett in an open challenge for the title, Rusev laid him out with a chain, revealing a Russian Chain Match as the stipulation for their clash.
A new match was made for Extreme Rules as England native Paige won a Divas Battle Royal to become the No. 1 contender for Nikki Bella's Divas Championship at Extreme Rules. Naomi turned on her after the match and attacked her while Nikki Bella was on commentary, but wasn't in the contest.

Bray Wyatt also had some promo time, once again cutting a cryptic interview.
