WWE Extreme Rules Predictions

These cards are massive. Way too many matches and I'm a bit too pressed for time to give long details. Anyway, if done right, this actually has a chance to steal the show. Two great stables with a stipulation that has potential. Sometimes Tables matches are dull, but if they can go the Hardys/Dudleys route from the original match, we've got a banger. Just give me less of the fans chanting "we want tables." I'm going with SAnitY, who badly need a win.

Winners: SAnitY

I really like both guys, but this feud has been boring. I'm gonna pick Finn to win. However, that's a guy who has done a whole lot of nothing over the past year.

Winner: Finn Balor

This might have the big match feel they were gunning for if Lashley wasn't involved in shit feuds since his return. A big win or two would make him seem like a real threat to Roman Reigns. Instead, it's clear he's not on Roman's level. Big Dog gotta eat, baby.

Winner: Roman Reigns

I really enjoy most of what the WWE does. However, they're been bad in a few aspects lately. One: They've gone way overboard with Braun. It's too much and I'm pretty bored of him by this point. Two: Angles like the port-a-potty one with Braun and Owens. It's just not funny at all. Three: And this one goes back for years. They rarely ever put on good cage matches. Remember Seth/Orton in 2015? Or Bray/Cena in 2014? Braun wins for obvious reasons.

Winner: Braun Strowman

Their Raw main event was very good and went nearly thirty minutes. Still, an Ironman match can be tricky to book. I wonder how this plays out. Also, Dolph is still boring as champion. The only guy to make him interesting in recent memory was The Miz. I'm gonna say Seth regains the gold.

Winner: Seth Rollins

When you come up short in winning the WWE Title, five or six times, you move down to the US Title? This is kind of an interesting matchup, because it's two guys with charisma who aren't great on the mic. I'm picking Shinsuke because the dude has to win something at some point. Right?

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura

I've heard people whine and moan about Carmella's title reign, but I love it. Is she a technical wizard? No. But, she's playing the ultimate opportunist role better than anyone since Edge. She beat Charlotte once because of the Iiconics and the second time because she outsmarted her. She beat Asuka because of James Ellsworth. It's a brilliant run. Still, I think Asuka wins here, but she kind of died in the water when Charlotte beat her.

Winner: Asuka

I saw people complain that Daniel Bryan isn't in the main event picture. I get that. I also get that the company might not be sure how long Bryan's sticking around, so why invest a ton in that? Instead, they put him with Kane to reunite one of the most tag teams of the past twenty or so years. I think they get the titles for a feel good run.

Winners: Team Hell No

The B Team has won basically everything heading into this match. That's usually a sign for a loss at the PPV.

Winners: Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy

This match sucked at WrestleMania and again when they rematched it. Nia's character flipping for the Ronda feud didn't help her sympathy. It's clear what happens here, right? Alexa is Charlotte 2.0. They're booked way above and beyond everyone else. Nia will lose because Ronda/Alexa is the money match for SummerSlam.

Winner: Alexa Bliss

Other than the Tables match and the Team Hell No reunion, this is the only truly interesting match on the show. Rusev is finally getting a WWE Title and it comes against AJ Styles. AJ's still one of, if not the best wrestler in the world. People like to forget that because his chemistry with Owens ruined most of 2017 and facing Shinsuke "phone it in" Nakamura has killed his 2018. But, the dude had two bangers with Jinder Mahal and was awesome against basically everyone not named Owens or Nakamura. Expect Rusev and him to deliver one hell of a main event. As great as this is for Rusev, AJ will retain.

Winner: AJ Styles
