We hear from Karrion Kross and Scarlett. Kross says that Drew McIntyre has been trying to lure him out of the darkness for quite some time, and that McIntyre has been on top for some time as well. Kross says he is the kind of guy one has to put in the hospital to put down, and at Extreme Rules, he will take McIntyre to a point of no return, as they both want the same thing and only one has it; because of that, they are bound together through suffering. He says that once the world knows what he has seen through the cards and McIntyre is out of the way, he will soon become undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Kross says that when the strap is on, he will drag McIntyre through hell and leave him lying to burn away forever when he has had enough. (Right after this, a QR code is show; it leads to this.)
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Austin Theory. Theory says that Brock Lesnar and Tyson Fury may have ruined his cash-in attempts, then calls Wales "Europe's version of Winnipeg." He then says Drew McIntyre embarrassed himself more than he did to himself before McIntyre shows up behind him. McIntyre watches Theory as Theory says that he is not very smart, then McIntyte puts his hand on Theory's shoulder and says "You. Me. In the ring. Now."
Austin Theory is accompanied to the ring by Alpha Academy (Chad Gable and Otis) before the next match.
Drew McIntyre beats Austin Theory by disqualification after Otis pulls McIntyre out of the ring to throw him into the ring steps.

Backstage, Max Dupri is met by Maximum Male Models (Mansoor, Mace, Maxxine Dupri). Mansoor and Mace say they will make Dupri proud, and Maxxine Dupri says it will be when they break the Canadian record for the longest pose. The pose is soon ruined by Hit Row (B-Fab, Top Dolla, Ashante "Thee" Adonis), and they start over.
Backstage, Shotzi says that Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, Iyo Sky) showed what they were all about - a bunch of scheming jackals - and says she will shove her nose and her boots wherever she wants. She says Bayley will find out what it is like when her boots stomp all over her.

Liv Morgan gets up and goes after Ronda, and security has to separate both of them.
Backstage, Drew McIntyre, Johnny Gargano and Kevin Owens have a conversation. The three of them agree that Austin Theory needs his ass kicked, then Kevin Owens only to run into Maximum Male Models, then Sami Zayn. After telling Maximum Male Models (Maxxine Dupri, Mansoor, Mace) that one of their hands needs to be higher to be more effective, Owens tells Sami he needs a new shirt.
Backstage, Shinsuke Nakamura checks out Mansoor and Mace posing, as does Sonya Deville.
Imperium (GUNTHER, Giovanni Vinci, Ludwig Kaiser) head to the ring. Kaiser says there have been few things more insulting to the mat than the presence of The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland, Butch). Vinci says none of them exhibit the qualities of a champion, and that GUNTHER is what a champion looks like. GUNTHER says that he will beat Sheamus next week and grind him down for the final time and enjoy the look of defeat in his eyes when he breaks his spirit once and for all. He then says Imperium will obliterate all three of The Brawling Brutes before Sheamus shows up. Sheamus says Imperium loves talking a big game about The Brawling Brutes, then says that while Ridge Holland and Butch are stuck in Florida, he is here, and he is more than happy to kick all three of their heads right off their shoulders. Sheamus pulls out a shillelagh as Vinci and Kaiser charge at him and lays them out with it, then confronts GUNTHER. Sheamus tosses the shillelagh out of the ring and tosses his hat off, then both men brawl. Sheamus nails GUNTHER with a knee to the jaw, but Vinci and Kaiser stop the Brogue Kick, allowing GUNTHER to rip Sheamus's shirt off in the corner and chop him several times before hitting him with a powerbomb. As Imperium leaves, Sheamus grabs the microphone and says "Is that all you got?" He tells GUNTHER he will have to do better than that, then Vinci and Kaiser gang up on Sheamus. GUNTHER then knocks Sheamus out with his own shillelagh.

Bayley beats Shotzi. After the match, Bayley hits Shotzi with another Rose Plant before putting a ladder out from underneath the ring and placing Shotzi in the middle of it. As Bianca goes up top, Bianca Belair shows up. Bayley retreats, but as Bianca saves Shotzi, it proves to be a cheap shot. Bianca gets Bayley up for a K.O.D., but Bayley escapes over the top rope.
