Smackdown Live

2 weeks till Extreme Rules

Lilith Ace walked around backstage when she was stopped by Renee.

Renee: Ms. Ace, do you know the condition on Rahzel?

Lilith: Rahzel is at home, resting on doctor's orders. His ribs are damaged and he suffered internal bleeding. If he stays home for the next 2 weeks, he may be 100% at Extreme Rules.

I have no worries though. An injured Rahzel means a very angry Rahzel.

As for Raij and Brick, they will be in a tag team match tonight since they like working together.

Ruby Riott was sitting backstage in a dark room.

Ruby: Hello everyone. Here with me is my fellow member of 6ixx, Raij.

Raij: Thank you very much for having me.

Ruby: I know this is a hard subject to talk about. Back in NXT, how well did you know Rahzel?

Raij: Rahzel was Someone who you could train with, talk about life and whatever going on with you. He was genuine man.

But that what snakes do to you. He focus his time, trying to be NXT Champion when we were Tag Champs. He would worry about himself before others.

Rahzel is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Ruby: What a terrible person. 2017, he finally showed his true colors when he attacked you on your birthday and when you were injured. What went through your head after he beat you down?

Raij: It wasn't fear or a broken heart. He beat up a defenseless, injured person with two more men. Rahzel showed the world how low he can be.

Even more low on that same year, he beat up Brick in front of his daughter. Rahzel would use our personal lives to hurt us.

But, he forgot that we know his personal life as well.

Ruby: That's right, Raij. In 2018, why did you betray Brick?

Raij: Because I thought Brick was going to pull the same stunt Rahzel pulled. I showed him that I wasn't gullible or the weak link of The Boyz.

But...I was wrong and Brick, I'm sorry for hurting you and betraying you.

You hear that, Rahzel. I'm man enough to say I was wrong. Something you can't do due to your ego.

Ruby: Speaking of egos, Smackdown Live General Manager, Lilith Ace. Wife of Scottie Ace and Rahzel's Sister-In-Law.

Rahzel wins The King of The Ring Tournament to receive a WWE Championship Match at Summerslam. Now, he's in a United States Championship Match with Brick and you.

Isn't she abusing her power?

Raij: She had it out for me since she got the job. How many chances did Scottie receive for The United States Championship around Wrestlemania? Too many.

Now, Rahzel gets two title opportunities within two months. It's not fair for superstars like us.

At Extreme Rules, either Brick retains or I win. But one thing is for sure.

Rahzel doesn't walk out as United States Champion. He might not be walking at all.

Ruby: Thank you for this interview.

Renee stood on the side of the stage for her interview.

Renee: Joining me at this time, The United States Champion, Brick.

Brick walked out to join Renee.

Renee: Brick, you will join your former partner and opponent at Extreme Rules, Raij in a Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match against his 6ixx teammates, the champs, Jasper Goodnight and Dekker.

Do you trust him?

Brick: I'm not as stupid as Raij is. I don't trust him in a match against his teammates. But he knows that I will break him like I did to Rahzel last week.

So, if he likes breathing, he better know his role.

Renee: Earlier tonight in a interview, Raij says you two will do whatever you can to make sure Rahzel doesn't get The US Title.

Brick: He's right. Raij can work together while we dispose of The so-called "Big Bad Wolf."

But after that, Raij is going to go to be right next to Zell in the hospital. You two will learn that nobody can stop me.

Tom

: We've heard from Raij. We've heard from Brick. Live, via satellite from his home in Charlotte, NC. The man who was taken out by 6ixx and Brick. Rahzel.

Thank you for taking the time for this interview.

"More like wasting my time when I should be beating two fools up right now."

Tom: Rahzel, there was an report on your condition. The doctors consider that you don't go to Extreme Rules at all.

"The doctors don't control me. I'm going to go to Extreme Rules, destroy Raij and Brick, and take The United States Championship.

"I find it ironic that Raij wants Brick help to get rid of me. Even joining up with Jasper and Dekker. He proves my point that he needs someone to hold his hand.

"But Brick won't do it. Neither will I. He better get ready to do battle.

"Brick on the other hand, he knows I'm gunning for him and he can't escape the inevitable.

"I'm not waiting till Extreme Rules. I'll be there next week."

Tom: Oh...hold...yes ma'am...okay. Rahzel, I just been told General Manager, Lilith Ace that you're banned from next week's Smackdown Live.

"Banned? Lilith, you should know me by now. You can't stop something that's unstoppable."

Brick walked backstage after leaving Raij to the wolves. Lilith joined The US Champion.

Lilith: What happened, Brick? You two were doing great. But you two are going to need tie loose ends because next week, the two of you will be facing a team that knows all about teamwork.

A somewhat dream match as The RowdyRuff Boyz vs Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, 2/3rds of The Shield.

But to make sure you don't flake off again, it will be a Lumberjack Match.

Tom: Raij and Brick vs Seth Rollins and The WWE Champion, Roman Reigns in a Lumberjack Match. Also Rahzel looks to invade Smackdown against Lilith's wishes. What will he do and what will Lilith do?
