There was nowhere for Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross to hide at WWE Extreme Rules.
The feud between the two men began in August when Kross returned to WWE, attacking Drew on SmackDown. Since then, Kross has been trying to drag McIntyre into the darkness, even distracting him during his WWE Championship Match at Clash at the Castle.
At Extreme Rules, Kross and McIntyre faced off in a strap match, one which Kross controlled by targeting the injured shoulder of Drew McIntyre. Drew would fight back and get in position for a Claymore, but Scarlett intervened and sprayed Drew in the eyes with pepper spray. This would allow Kross to capitalize and pick up the victory.
A complete rundown of the action from the match can be seen below:
