Backstage, Kevin Owens tried to convince Angle to call off the match between him and Braun Strowman and even offered to organize his office and tickets to go see Shania Twain on tour who is apparently a friend of KO. Angle wasn't having any of it and told him the match had been set and nothing could be done to change it.
Roman caught up with Angle backstage and demanded a match against Lashley at Extreme Rules. The match was all but confirmed and Angle told us that Lashley wanted the same thing.
No Way Jose was supposed to face Mojo Rawley after the events of last week and Mojo denied Jose the match yet again.

Jose came to the rescue but Rawley sent him into the apron back first, taking him out.

Nia dropped Mickie right off the bat and James tried her best to get Jax off her knees. Mickie hit some big kicks but was dropped by Nia again before she fled the ring. Alexa came to the aid of Mickie James as the match proceeded outside but Natalya was there too to give Nia some backup. The two duos argued outside the ring as we broke for commercials.
Mickie was in control as we returned and hit Nia with a baseball slide. James hit Nia with devilish kicks and tried to damage her legs to get some advantage in the bout. Mickie hit a huge dropkick to the injured left knee of Nia and made her fall flat. Mickie refused to let go of Nia's leg but Nia turned the hold around on James.
Nia hit a headbutt and was met with a big boot from James. Mickie missed the heel kick and was hit with a sit-up powerbomb. Alexa tried to interfere during the pin and Nia took out Alexa from ringside and got the three count on Mickie right after.

#7 Braun Strowman vs Kevin Owens
KO escaped the ring as the bell rang and ran out of the arena to the backstage area as the referee started counting. The match seemed like it was over and the referee counted to ten and the bell was rung ending the match in favor of Braun.
Backstage KO tried to hide in a garage and Strowman chased him but couldn't locate KO. Braun was in the parking lot, infuriated, and managed to sniff out KO who was hiding in a portable toilet. Braun taped the toilet shut from the outside and wheeled him back into the building.
KO was being dragged through the backstage area, trapped inside a port-a-potty, screaming his lungs out as Braun brought him back to the ringside area. Strowman wheeled Owens and his toilet to the main stage and threatened to drop it down to the floor. Strowman then backed up and tackled the port-a-potty head-on, sending it crashing down as the crowd chanted "Holy Sh*t!". KO was badly injured and covered in sludge as the officials dragged him out of the wreckage and the match was finally called.
Result: Braun Strowman def. Kevin Owens
