When they came back from the video, there was another chant for Punk in the background.
Wee-L-C Match: Hornswoggle (with 3MB) vs. Hornswoggle (with Los Matadores)
They have a little person ring announcer, referee and even a little person commentary team dressed as the regular announcers. Short Sleeve Sampson was playing a mini-version of Jerry Lawler.

Los Matadores came over to check on him. Hornswoggle went for a dive but messed up and bounced off the ropes in a comedy bit.
Torito went under the ring and retrieved a tiny chair. He used it as a springboard to nail a big kick to Hornswoggle. Jinder Mahal got involved but was headbutt in the ground. Hornswoggle got a small ladder but asked for a bigger one. It was a step ladder. He went to the top and went for a splash but Torito easily moved out of the way and covered him for a two count.
Hornswoggle slammed Torito as they went to a commercial. When they returned, 3MB attacked Los Matadores as they checked on Torito on the floor. They showed all these cool spots that took place DURING THE COMMERCIAL. Argh! Hornswoggle nailed Torito with a chair. He dove off the chair and nailed a sitdown splash. That was rude.

He made the little people commentary team move and placed Torito atop the table. Hornswoggle did a flying elbow off the apron, destroying the table. The crowd popped for that.
The crowd chanted, “This is awesome.â€

Hornswoggle nailed him with a chair and placed him on a table outside. Drew McIntyre nailed a tope con hilo to the outside but Torito moved and Drew destroyed the table in spectacular fashion. Torito nailed a splash on Hornswoggle and scored the pin.
Your winner, Torito!
Well, that was a hell of a spectacle.
Zeb Colter was interviewed. He said that the three way shows three sides of America. RVD is the people who think everything is cool and OK, which would destroy the country. Cesaro and Paul Heyman are the people who steal and scheme and Swagger is the hard working American. He promised Swagger would win and then they can get the hell out of New Jersey.
The panel showed what happened on Raw with Evolution and The Shield Monday. The panel discussed the match. Booker said that if The Shield wins tonight, they make their mark. He said they are unproven and can be proven tonight. Sheamus said they are hungry and Evolution is a big meal for them. Riley said if they work together and have the perfect match, The Shield will win but Evolution doesn’t need to have the perfect match to defeat them.
EXTREME RULES 2014
They had a great video package pushing the top three matches.
Elimination: Rob Van Dam vs. Cesaro (with Paul Heyman) vs. Jack Swagger (with Zeb Colter)
Heyman cut a promo and said WWE only gets it right once a year. He said that it’s when the tribe of extreme get together and celebrate….that his client Brock Lesnar ended the Undertaker’s streak. The crowd, which was about to chant “ECW†booed that. It was pretty funny actually. He said that the 11th commandment of Extreme is Thou shall not boo Heyman. He said the new commandment is to cheer the new Heyman Guy, Cesaro.
All three faced off. They began slugging it out and kicking at each other. The former Real Americans worked over RVD, then turned on each other. Cesaro drilled Swagger with a number of uppercuts.

RVD nailed Rolling Thunder on Cesaro for a two count. RVD nailed a Hollywood Star Press for a two count. RVD went under the ring and pulled out a trash can. Cesaro dropkicked it into him as Rob was returning the ring. This match is just a great, physical bout.
Cesaro rolled RVD in and then tossed the can in. He went to nail RVD with it but RVD took him down for a pinfall combination. RVD nailed a Van Daminator with the trash can. He placed it on Cesaro and went for the Five Star Frog Splash but Cesaro moved and Rob crushed the can. He may have cut the side of his head on impact. Cesaro nailed the Neutralizer on the can and covered RVD.
Your winner, Cesaro!
This was just a great, physical bout with all three really working their asses off and taking it too each other. Lots of really good sequences and brutal spots. Loved this.
Backstage, WWE World Heavyweight champion Daniel Bryan was being checked out by a doctor backstage. Stephanie McMahon showed up and said that she wanted Bryan to know that she can’t control Kane. She said that it’s hard for her to admit but she can’t. She said that she’s afraid for Bryan, for his wife and his mother because they will have to witness what’s going to happen to him. She gave him the option not to compete and instead surrender the title. He told her, “Get out of my face†and said he was walking in as champion and will walk out, somehow, the same way. She told him he’s going to be walking out as Kane’s bitch.
Alexander Rusev vs. Xavier Woods & R-Truth: Handicap Match
Lana came out and made sure to show off her ass before announcing Rusev was now living in Russia and they dedicated this match to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Yes, they did.
Rusev attacked them as they entered the ring. Truth was tossed into the barricade. He removed the apron from the ring and ran Woods into the “steel†under the ring. Rusev killed Woods with a Northern Lights suplex on the floor, then attacked Truth.

As a spotlight for Rusev, it was good. Truth looked competitive here when he was on offense.
