This is part 5 of our Extreme Rules 2021 live coverage (part 4 is here, which features Sasha Banks’ return).
Up next is the main event of the evening, and it is an Extreme Rules match for the Universal Championship.
“The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns makes his way out first, followed by “The Demon” Finn Balor.
Roman has been the Universal Champion for 391 days. This match will determine if Roman’s match against Brock Lesnar at next month’s Crown Jewel PPV will be for the Universal Championship or not.
The match begins and Roman is showing his strength by dominating The Demon. The fans are chanting “We Want Tables”, but Roman takes out a Kendo Stick from under the ring and says he’s not a puppet and will do whatever he wants to do.
Balor takes out a joined set of Kendo Sticks and attacks Roman with it.
Finn now takes out a Table from under the ring and the crowd popped big time, but Roman took down The Demon with a Clothesline and pushed the Table back under the ring and said “no tables” and the crowd booed that move.
Roman takes a Steel Chair and begins attacking The Demon. The fans are still chanting for Tables.
Balor takes out the Tables again and puts it in the ring. Roman takes advantage of a distracted Demon and hit a Drive By, which sent Balor head-first into the ring post.
Roman and Demon are fighting in the crowd now and Roman is wearing a face mask now. Balor puts Roman through a Table in that area.
