WWE adds Kalisto vs. Apollo Crews to Extreme Rules pre-show
Rounding out the card for tonight’s pay-per-view, WWE added Kalisto vs. Apollo Crews to the Extreme Rules pre-show this afternoon.
Kalisto defeated Crews on Raw two weeks ago in a match that was part of a storyline where Kalisto was disappointed in Crews for being involved with the Titus Brand. Titus O’Neil then got a win over Kalisto on last week’s Raw by holding onto Kalisto’s tights while pinning him.
Both Kalisto and Crews arrived on Raw as part of the roster shakeup in April.
There are now seven matches set for tonight’s PPV. The lineup is:
- Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe vs. Bray Wyatt in an Extreme Rules fatal five-way number one contender’s match
- Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss defending against Bayley in a kendo stick on a pole match
- Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose defending against The Miz (Ambrose will lose his title if he gets disqualified)
- Raw Tag Team Champions The Hardys defending against Cesaro & Sheamus in a steel cage match
- WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville defending against Austin Aries in a submission match
- Sasha Banks & Rich Swann vs. Alicia Fox & Noam Dar in a mixed tag team match
- Kalisto vs. Apollo Crews (kickoff show)
