We are back and we see Drew Gulak and Shane McMahon talking to a beer vendor for giving him a chance to be Roman's tag team partner.

Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring.

Rey says he is going to keep it short and simple.  He stood in this ring six weeks ago with his arm in a sling and he had to do one of the hardest things he had to do in his career.  He had to surrender his United States Title.  Rey says he was told it would be a long time for him to come back but Rey trained harder and he came back hungrier.  He beat the doctor's predictions and now he is back.  He says he is so ready to go and compete.  Rey makes an open challenge to anyone in the back. 

Match Number Three:  Rey Mysterio versus Bobby Lashley

Rey attacks Lashley as Bobby enters the ring.  The match starts and Rey with kicks and a drop kick.  Rey counters a power slam attempt with a DDT and he drop kicks Bobby into the ropes and Rey with a 619.  Rey goes up top and is caught by Lashley and Lashley with a flatliner and spear for the three count.

Lashley says last week, he was the only man standing and you better believe that he will be the last man standing on Sunday, at Extreme Rules.

We go to commercial.

We are back and AJ Styles, Luke Gallows,and Karl Anderson walk into the back.  Kayla asks why did AJ attack Ricochet last week.

We see Bayley and Nikki Cross in split screen as they get ready to talk about their matches later on the show.

We are back with a look at what happened last week between Mike and Maria Kanellis.

We see Maria in the back and Mike Kanellis walks in with flowers.  He says he is so sorry about what happened last week.  He says the news caught him off guard.  He is excited to have their second child.  They talk about how much they love each other.  Maria says she loves ice cream and Mike says he loves ice cream.  Maria wants ice cream and pickles and Mike realizes that she is placing an order.  Mike asks if she wants non-fat ice cream and Maria yells at Mike for calling her fat.

Maria asks what kind of man taps out to a woman.

We go to Bayley and Nikki Cross who are in separate rooms to discuss tonight's Beat the Clock Challenge.  

Nikki is asked about whether she feels any pressure to win.  Nikki says she feels like the whole world is on her shoulders and she needs to win this for Alexa.  She owes everything to Alexa and does not know where she would be without Alexa.

Bayley says Alexa is using Nikki.  You are the reason Alexa has the rematch.  Alexa is using you for Extreme Rules.

Nikki says she is sick of Bayley running down Alexa.  You have been jealous of Alexa since day one.

Michael interrupts and explains the Beat the Clock concept.  Bayley will be facing Sarah Logan.  Nikki will be facing Dana Brooke.

Ricochet has something to say before his match.  He says when AJ Styles congratulated him on beating Samoa Joe and making the challenge, Ricochet says he thought he got to face a man he has respected for years.  Before he could celebrate one of his biggest victories, AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows gave him one of the biggest beatings of his life.  He faces AJ on Sunday.  We know what is going to happen and Luke Gallows will not be coming alone.  He will have Karl Anderson and AJ Styles.  In the end, he will fight all three.

AJ Styles thanks Ricochet for reminding them who he is.  AJ has some advice.  In the WWE, we move pretty quickly so he tells Ricochet to slow down and appreciate the moment.  Gallows is going to stomp a mudhole in you.  While we are talking about appreciating a moment, let's talk about last week, and take a look at a video package.
