Bengaluru, June 26: WWE boosted up the Extreme Rules match card as two more championship matches were added during last night’s Smackdown Live.
First up, the WWE Championship will hang in the balance in a fresh matchup when Samoa Joe challenges Kofi Kingston in a singles contest. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss is set to get yet another opportunity against the Smackdown women's champion Bayley in a rematch from Stomping Grounds.
Both these title bouts will be cross-brand affairs where superstars from Raw challenge the champions from Smackdown and will be built on the Wild Card Rule.
Last night, the show in Portland kicked off with the breaking news that Kofi Kingston will put his title on the line against the Samoan Submission Machine at Extreme Rules. But Dolph Ziggler came out to claim another shot at the champ and challenged him to a 2-out-of-3 falls match in the main event. And he added If he wins, he will be added to the title match making it a triple threat affair.
Cross won the match with a simple roll-up and earned the title match opportunity for her buddy, Little Miss Bliss at Extreme Rules. So, it looks like The Goddess of the WWE will not shy away from championship hunt just yet.
