Only one of these two stars walked out of Extreme Rules with their title.
Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross: B-

Is the Alexa Bliss/Nikki Cross partnership over now that Bliss has failed to capture a title?
Since Bayley had two opponents, she had to carry a lot of the action. Alexa Bliss was also returning to action after being "the sickest" she's ever been. For that reason, Nikki Cross was added to the match.

Despite Bayley doing most of the work and Bliss returning from sickness, the match was better than I expected it would be. It wasn't a great match, but for what it was, it did the job. There were going to be some moments where the two-on-one aspect would be taken advantage of, and Bliss and Cross both frequently tagged in and out of the match.
Each participant hit their usual moves and carried the action along for the duration of the match. Bayley's use of the elbow off the top rope is a good change in her move set since the Bayley to Belly isn't hugely effective. The tension between Bliss and Cross was further teased during the match, but they remained allies at the conclusion.
