There's no disputing it, WWE has never been cooler! It's so cool right now! It's the coolest it's been since the New Generation!

Here are the matches for this show, all of which are noted for how cool they are, almost ice-cold you could say! There are some really good wrestlers on this card who will probably have great matches, and yet in spite of that it's remarkable how cool these guys somehow still are!
  • Finn Bálor (C) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
  • Drew Gulak (C) vs. Tony Nese for the Cruiserweight Championship
  • Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler
  • The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) (C) vs. The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) for the Raw Tag Team Championship
  • BRAUN! vs. Bobby Lashley in a Last Man Standing match
  • Ricochet (C) vs. AJ Styles for the United States Championship
  • Aleister Black vs. Cesaro
  • Daniel Bryan and Rowan (C) vs. The New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods) vs. Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker) for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship
  • Bayley (C) vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a Handicap Match for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship
  • Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship
  • The Undertaker and Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre in a No Holds Barred tag team match
  • Seth Rollins (C) and Becky Lynch (C) vs. Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans in a Last Chance Winners Take All Mixed Tag Team Extreme Rules match for both the Universal Championship and Raw Women's Championship

Nakamura wins the IC belt on the loving preshow.

Calling this now, Balor is turning heel and joining AJ and the good bros.

This was utterly baffling. Not that Nakamura won, but that they did this on the pre-show.

I hope these guys are at least getting paid mad cash because holy gently caress what a waste.

What match would you have had instead?

It's not my job to find them alternates, but they shouldn't be putting ANY title match on the pre-show, it makes the belts look utterly unimportant.

Another thing that makes the belts look utterly unimportant is shoving their match into the corner of the screen and playing an ad for the show we're already watching.

if baron pins becky he is womens champion?

If Baron pins Seth, then Lacey becomes Women's Champion and Baron becomes Universal Champion. If Lacey pins Becky, then she becomes Women's Champion and Baron becomes Universal Champion.

If Becky or Seth win, then the guys who have lost every single match against them for the titles don't get to fight them for the titles again.

It's.... garbage.

if you just took out the part where Shane is supposed to be taken seriously as a competitor this would all be at least logically fine but they just have to give him the high spots

Yeah take Shane out of the equation and it all seems fairly straightforward if uninspired booking. But for some reason they try and make out Shane to be legitimately a threat to actual wrestlers.
