Roman Reigns started the match only to receive a Glasgow Kiss from Drew McIntyre and hit the ring post hard. This forced the masked man to enter the match and stun the two heels with high-flying moves inside the ring. He flew around the ring for sometimes before McIntyre turned him inside out with a match-ending Claymore. The masked man revealed himself to be Cedric Alexander whom Roman Reigns saved from getting a beatdown to end this week’s WWE Raw.

Now Shane and Drew did not gain the upper-hand for the past couple of weeks since The Undertaker was there in the building on WWE Raw. So they sanctioned the tag team match on last night’s show where Shane would choose the teammate of Roman Reigns. Furthermore, The Undertaker could not interfere, at all,
“The Scottish Psychopath and “The Best in the World” turned their tag team battle against The Undertaker and Roman Reigns into a No Holds Barred Match at WWE Extreme Rules next Sunday in Philadelphia. With that showdown looming, Reigns will have to team up with a partner of McMahon’s choosing against “The Best in the World” and McIntyre on Monday’s Raw, as first reported by Sports Illustrated. Plus, if The Undertaker interferes in the match, he’s out of this Sunday’s matchup.”
Well, THAT makes sense.
