Monday Night Raw is still pushing towards Extreme Rules next month and with the multi-man match now off the table, it appears that the company will have to reveal something much bigger at the final pay-per-view before SummerSlam if they are hoping for the WWE Universe to feel the hype.
This week on Raw the Tag Team Championship match was officially revealed for Extreme Rules, whilst a number of other matches were hinted with less than three weeks to go now until WWE celebrates the one night of the year that the company goes "Extreme."

As ever, on the road to Extreme Rules, there were a number of small speedbumps and here are just a few of them.
#3 Curtis Axel slipped
The B Team finally have their Tag Team Championship match against Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy at Extreme Rules and this week on Raw they sent quite the message to the Champions when Axel was able to pick up the win over Hardy in singles action.
The match wasn't a long one and came to an end when Axel reversed a superplex attempt onto a modified crossbody and shocked Hardy with the pin. The commentary team stated that Hardy slipped, but it appears that it was Axel who slipped when he was on the top rope. Watch the following clip closely and you'll spot the fact that Axel fell off the rope which is why the set up for the match was delayed.
The finish to the match did look a little bit rough since it came from out of nowhere, but it continues the build towards next month's Extreme Rules event and gives The B Team some much-needed momentum.
#2 "Baddest Woman in the Planet"
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon made sure that they pushed the fact that Ronda Rousey was "The Baddest Woman on the Planet" throughout her time in a feud with the WWE power couple leading into WrestleMania, but Alexa Bliss didn't get the memo this week on Raw since she called Ronda "The Baddest Woman on the Planet" before following up and stating that she was actually "Most entitled, spoilt brat in the planet."
Bliss doesn't usually slip up on her words, but the pressure could be getting to the three-time Raw Women's Champion since she was only put through a table a week ago by Ronda Rousey and has a lot more enemies than friends in the Raw locker room right now.
#1 Do those knees ever hit the target?
Alexa Bliss has a gymnastics background that has definitely helped her throughout the past few years when it comes to her career in the squared circle, but this week on Raw it was one of her signature moves that missed the target. Bliss has delivered the backflip into knees to the mid-section a number of times, but a handful of fans noticed this week on Raw that The Raw Women's Champion completely missed the target but was still able to get a near fall from the move that never was.
Bliss lost the match to Natalya, which leaves the Queen of Harts in an interesting position ahead of Extreme Rules next month.
