In the first Strap Match held at WWE Extreme Rules since the 2013 edition, Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross collided for the first time ever, with only 12 feet of leather between the two. Before the bell, Kross initiated mind games, throwing the strap outside of the ring to Scarlett, who pulled McIntyre into the corner and allowed “The Doomsday Superstar” to beat down the former WWE Champion. The fight then erupted into the raucous Philadelphia crowd, with the two behemoths beating each other to bits before finally getting back to the ring to officially start the match. Kross went straight to McIntyre’s weak shoulder, slamming McIntyre shoulder-first into the ring post. Kross then used the strap to brutal effect, silencing the Philly crowd with the sound of leather onto skin. McIntyre fought back, winning the “strap-off” before planting “The Harbinger of Doom” with the Future Shock DDT. Scarlett, however, once again got involved, stepping in front of McIntyre as The Scottish Warrior was about to connect with the Claymore. In a hideous act, Scarlett then blinded McIntyre with pepper spray, allowing Kross to connect with the Kross Hammer and pick up the victory.
