WWE's next pay-per-view, Extreme Rules, takes place on 15 July, and while last night's Raw didn't deliver swathes of major developments, it did bring a couple of changes to the card.

The company had already announced three bouts prior to Raw, but Kurt Angle scrapped a proposed multi-person number one contenders match featuring Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley, and others. He explained that this was down to contractual issues with Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, who hasn't been seen since the Greatest Royal Rumble (27 April). 'The Beast Incarnate' isn't expected to wrestle again until SummerSlam (19 August).

While that bout was pulled, Extreme Rules gained Raw Tag Team Champions The Deleters Of Worlds vs. The B-Team during the broadcast, which should finally pay off weeks of comedy in the red brand's threadbare duos division.

The lineup's other two bouts were put together last week. Angle teased a Lashley vs. Reigns singles match on Raw, but this is yet to be announced.

Here's how the card currently looks:-
