Sasha Banks and Rich Swann vs. Alicia Fox and Noam Dar

Result: Sasha Banks and Rich Swann defeats Alicia Fox and Noam Dar via pinfall.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

If you’re looking for a humorous take away from Extreme Rules, go view the entrance for Rich Swann. The WWE crowds rarely react for 205 Live Superstars, but once JoJo said, “From Baltimore, MD,” everyone got up and popped for the hometown wrestler. Have to love those cheap pops, right?

Dar and Fox didn’t really stand a chance of winning this, especially after the heel win The Miz had just got in the prior match. Plus, the WWE Cruiserweight Championship will need a new competitor, as well as the Raw Women’s Championship, if Alexa Bliss wins her match.

In a rare instance, Swann got the hometown win, too. When does that ever happen? WWE didn’t allow Banks, AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair to do this, in recent months, so it was somewhat surprising they let this happen.

Elias Samson Drifts into the Ring

Elias Samson appears in the ring, with his guitar, and gets massive heat the moment he starts talking. He starts singing a song about how “Baltimore is bathed in filth,” and gets nuclear heat. He finishes his song and ends it.

This was the greatest live music performance ever, on WWE programming. Nothing will top it, not even Flo Rida or Pitbull.
