I wanted to share my speculation on what I think will be the opening and closing matches at the Extreme Rules PPV. This does not include the pre-show, where I am assuming the Cruiserweight Title match will be taking place. I am talking about the main card of the PPV.
Opening Match
Let’s start with the opening match of the main card. WWE usually tries to start things off with a great match in order to get fans invested right away.
My guess is that WWE kicks things off with the RAW Tag Team Title match between the Revival and the Usos.
I think that this could be one of the best matches of the night if given enough time. Both teams are extremely talented and will likely want to showcase their talents. I think it would be smart to start off with this match as we know that all four guys will bring it and they will get the crowd into things right away. The RAW Tag Team Title match is my pick to be the first of the main card.
Main Event
As for the main event, it comes down to two matches for me. That would be the mixed tag team bout: Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch vs Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin. Or, the Undertaker and Roman Reigns vs Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre. I could easily see either of these matches going on last at the event.
I am actually going with the Undertaker’s match going on last as my pick. Fans seem to be sick of both the Becky/Lacey and Seth/Baron feuds. I think it might kill the crowd if they save that match for last. Roman and the Undertaker teaming together is something new and I think most fans would be okay with it being in the main event slot.
Do you agree or disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below.
