WWE Champion Kofi Kingston had little time to enjoy his Steel Cage Match victory over Dolph Ziggler at WWE Stomping Grounds after being on the receiving end of a brutal beatdown at the hands of Samoa Joe on Monday’s Raw. The Dreadlocked Dynamo kicked off the blue brand, promising Joe and the WWE Universe that he would not back down in the face of the Samoan shark and would plan on showing everyone the full range of his mettle in their title clash at WWE Extreme Rules.
Kingston was soon interrupted by Ziggler, who was still seething over his nail-biting defeat to Kofi this past Sunday. The Showoff informed Kingston that WWE management had declared that he would be added to the WWE Title Match at Extreme Rules if Ziggler could defeat Kofi tonight in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match!
