- In Ring Promo with The Miz: Miz makes fun of Damien Sandow and mocks Summer Rae. Bad News Barrett interrupts Miz. Barrett says they are in England, not Hollywood and the fans want to see Barrett. Barrett claimes he'll crush Miz, like he will crush Daniel Bryan and the "Yes Movement" at Extreme Rules.

- In Ring Promo with Dolph Ziggler: Ziggler mocks Sheamus for running away because he's a bully. Sheamus tells Ziggler he can kiss his arse. Ziggler says Sheamus can kiss his. Sheamus says that Ziggler literally will kiss his arse because at Extreme Rules it'll be Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler in a "Kiss My Arse Match". Ziggler accepts.
