WWE Extreme Rules 2016 Predictions

Kickoff Pre-show: No DQ Match
Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin
What Should Happen: I like Ziggler, but they should have Corbin win this and move on.  Ziggler can bounce back, but he needs a good storyline- until they are willing to give him one, use him to elevate others.

What Will Happen: Corbin wins with controversy, and this feud must continue

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Ziggler joins the Social Outcasts to replace Adam Rose


Texas Tornado Tag Team Match
The Usos vs. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson
What Should Happen: If "The Club"  (really, not Bullet Club, not Balor Club, and not an original name- just "The Club"?) is getting a real push, they can't have 50/50 booking with the Usos.  Gallows and Anderson win and leave the Usos lying.

What Will Happen: Gallows and Anderson cheat to win, leading to Reigns and Styles coming down for a brawl that has to be separated.

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Usos win to give them a push on their way to challenging New Day for the belts.


Asylum Match
Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho
What Should Happen: Someone needs to explain what an "Asylum Match" is and how it's different from a Hell in the Cell match.

The WWE never misses an opportunity to miss na opportunity with Ambrose.  They need Ambrose to go over big and clean here, especially if Jericho is leaving (as rumored)

What Will Happen: Still think Ambrose wins

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Jericho wins to keep him strong when the McMahons throw him out tomorrow night on RAW


Fatal 4 Way for the WWE Intercontinental Title
Cesaro vs. Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens vs. The Miz
What Should Happen: There is no bad scenario here.  Miz is great as a heel, and the other three would make fantastic champions.  I'll pick Sami because he's had the least buildup and could use the belt the most.

What Will Happen:  I think Cesaro gets the belt- Miz chases him for a few months, but Cesaro is over.

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: The match gets interrupted for a storyline I don't care about.


WWE Tag Team Title Match
The Vaudevillains vs. The New Day
What Should Happen: I'd pull the trigger here- the New Day have nothing left to do as Champions, and the Vaudevillains can be champions for Enzo and Cass or any other team.

What Will Happen: New Day retains to save the title switch to Gallows and Anderson

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Cass joins to make it a triple threat and wins the belts by himself (I like Cass, but I wouldn't job out two teams for him)



WWE United States Title Match
Rusev vs. Kalisto
What Should Happen: If Miz is going be the heel secondary belt champ, they need Kalsito to be the uberface champ.  I'd have Kalisto retain and then give him a story that's not a retread of Rey Mysterio, Jr.

What Will Happen: Rusev wins the belt to lose it to John Cena on Memorial Day

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Rusev wins the belt to feud with Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus


Submission Match for the WWE Women's Title
Natalya vs. Charlotte
Ric Flair is banned from ringside
What Should Happen: I like Charlotte- but there's so many good female wrestlers in the WWE I'd play hot potato with the belt for a few months.  Switch to Nattie.

What Will Happen: Charlotte retains to hold the belt until Sasha Banks is ready

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Charlotte retains to hold the belt until Eva Marie is ready


Extreme Rules Match for the WWE World Heavyweight Title
AJ Styles vs. Roman Reigns
What Should Happen: Reigns is not awful, but the WWE doesn't know what to do with him. The crowd wants to boo him, but they are trying to make Styles the semi-heel here.  I'd love to bring back Seth Rollins as Reigns' corrupter, who turns him against everyone

What Will Happen: Gallows and Anderson come down, turn on AJ (to explain his injuries), and then form the Balor Club as Finn Balor comes out as the leader and next challenger for Reigns.

What I’m Terrified Will Happen: Gallows and Anderson come down, turn on AJ, and then form the Club with new leader Randy Orton.
