Samoa Joe made a colossal statement on RAW last week when he attacked Kofi Kingston. It was made clear that Joe will be the next challenger of Kingston and they are set to face each other at Extreme Rules. Within two weeks of this rivalry, the two men have garnered the attention of the WWE Universe.

WWE doesn't want these wrestlers back - Find out now!

The two men crossed paths in a Tag Team match on RAW this week. Joe put Kingston in a Coquina Clutch, and the latter passed out. Since winning the WWE Championship at the Showcase of Immortals, Kingston was undefeated. After a winning streak of 21 matches, he lost a match.

While Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler failed to do it, Joe made a massive statement this week. The victory will make Joe a credible challenger before heading to Extreme Rules. Judging by the scenario, this week, Joe has a big chance to win the WWE Title.

#1 Didn't do right: Alexa Bliss's easy defeat

It is no secret that Alexa Bliss will be challenging Bayley at Extreme Rules. It will be a rematch of Stomping Grounds, where Bliss failed to defeat Bayley. The Goddess will be aiming to become a three-time SmackDown Women's Champion at Extreme Rules.

Nikki Cross was the special guest of 'A Moment of Bliss' this week. Carmella interrupted the segment and challenged Bliss for a match. The Goddess accepted the challenge but lost to Carmella within a few seconds. It was certainly a shocking loss, as Bliss is set to fight Bayley in less than two weeks. In my humble opinion, the match should not have taken place and it was not a good way to build momentum before Extreme Rules.
