We are live from the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, WA, as Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring.
We see photos of what happened during the Universal Title Match between Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin with guest referee Lacey Evans.
Seth says about last night. At Stomping Grounds, Baron Corbin thought he was going to take this title from him… Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch makes her way to the ring.
Seth says Becky kind of interrupted him and Becky asks if she did. Seth says he has to give Baron some credit. Last night, Baron was smart enough to know he could not outwrestle him and get a referee who he would not hit with a chair. He got a referee who would do anything in their power to get the title off Seth. Baron wasn’t smart enough to know that he has the best backup on the planet.
Becky says it pays to be the Man’s Man. They proved individually why they are the champions of their division. Lacey Evans had nothing when it came time to fight and tap out she did. Then Lacey tried to steal a title for someone else and it was not going to happen on her watch. That is when the Man slapped her head off her empty shoulders.
Baron Corbin’s music plays and Lacey Evans attacks Becky Lynch from behind. Becky punches Lacey and Seth pulls Becky off and then Becky with a forearm and kicks in the corner. Baron Corbin comes to the ring and Seth with punches and slingblade. Becky with an exploder to Lacey.
Baron says that Becky saved Seth again and he tells Seth to give his title to Becky so he can go home and make a sandwich for Becky. Lacey tells Becky to get her man out of here or she will get her hands on Seth again. Baron says if it wasn’t for Becky, he would be Universal Champion. Baron says that Lacey is the only real woman around and he would choose Lacey as his partner in a mixed tag match any time. Lacey accepts the offer and suggests the match takes place at Extreme Rules.
Becky says that is fine, but under one condition. When you lose, you are both done. No more chances. Baron and Lacey talk about it and Baron says they agree. Lacey says they will raise things with a stipulation of their own. Seth says he does not care and they accept the challenge. Baron says their championships will be on the line in a Winner Take All Match.
