WWE Extreme Rules: 5 shockers & surprises from the event

#2 Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross’ clean loss

When we speak of a 2-on-1 handicap match involving two heels and a babyface, we expect something different to go down the line. Add a championship in the mix, and things can get even crazier if the story is told right.

Surprisingly, there were no mix-ups, no interferences, no distractions, and not much unfairness. Instead, Bayley got a clean pinfall win over Nikki Cross, who seemed to be en route a major singles push coming out of WWE Extreme Rules.

This was a disappointingly basic handicap match that really did nothing to advance the ongoing storyline between Bliss and Cross.

Fans were expecting either Sasha Banks to show up, or Alexa taking the pin in order to break Cross and Bliss’ team and give Cross a chance at the title individually.

With Cross taking the pin, and Alexa already losing to Bayley earlier, it seems like both women are out of the title picture as Bayley has now beaten both women convincingly.
