This year’s Memorial Day edition of Raw featured a double main event. Find out what happened to set up Extreme Rules, just six days away.
Previously on WWE Raw, the five competitors in the main event of Extreme Rules all got some work in. Roman Reigns took on Bray Wyatt, but a wonky finish led to Reigns teaming up with Seth Rollins against Wyatt and Samoa Joe later that night.

And, uh, Finn Balor beat Karl Anderson. That’s not as important as Balor being confronted by Paul Heyman ahead of the match. But it’s something!
We also got the long awaited debut of The Drifter, as Elias Samson took on Dean Ambrose in a non title match. The Hardy Boyz got to pick the stipulation for their match at Extreme Rules and didn’t pick a ladder match, and Enzo Amore got beat down backstage by unknown assailants. I bet they were top guys!
This week, Kurt Angle has already made a double main event for the last show before Extreme Rules. In the first, Finn Balor, Bray Wyatt, and Samoa Joe battled in a triple threat match. For the second, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins faced off in a singles match.
There’s a lot that had to happen to finalize the card for Extreme Rules this Sunday. Before Raw went on the air tonight, it was announced that Alicia Fox and Noam Dar would team up against Sasha Banks and Rich Swann. What other matches were made for the pay per view?
