One of the biggest matches of the night at Extreme Rules will be Bobby Lashley vs Roman Reigns. There is no stipulation or Title on the line but it is a feud that has become very heated over the past few weeks.
So what is going to happen and who is going to win? Let’s speculate a little bit.
To start, I think that this match is going to end up being the main event. This feud has received the most television time from WWE over the past few weeks and we have also seen Reigns matches go on last without a Title being involved (like his match against Samoa Joe at Backlash). Looking at the Extreme Rules card, I can’t make an argument for any other match being the final one of the night.
As for the match winner, it is pretty tough to predict. You could have a case for both guys possibly winning. My gut says that it will be Roman Reigns. I feel like WWE is going to do Roman vs Brock Lesnar again at Summerslam. The reason is to give us a conclusion to what happened in their match at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Lashley vs Lesnar would be fun but I have a hard time betting against Reigns here.
Another factor in my decision has been Lashley’s run so far since returning. He hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire over the past few months. His work with Reigns has been good but who can forget his terrible feud with Sami Zayn? I am not sure if Lashley has enough momentum right now for a World Title match.
As for the finish, I think Reigns will win in a way that keeps Lashley looking decently strong. I am going to guess that Lashley kicks out of a spear before ultimately falling to the ‘Big Dog’. That way you can maybe sell a future rematch between the two for the Universal Title down the road.
That is how I see it going. What about you?
