The following matches are advertised for the WWE Extreme Rules event that will be held on Sunday in Orlando, Florida at the WWE Performance Center.
-WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt in a non-title Swamp Fight.
-Asuka vs. Sasha Banks for the Raw Women’s Championship.
-Drew McIntyre vs. Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Championship (Ziggler chooses the stipulation).
-Bayley vs. Nikki Cross for the Smackdown Women’s Championship.
-Big E and Kofi Kingston vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro in a tables match for the Smackdown Tag Titles.
-Apollo Crews vs. MVP for the U.S. Championship.
-Seth Rollins vs. Rey Mysterio in an eye for an eye match.
Powell’s POV: WWE added the Smackdown Tag Title match on Friday’s Smackdown and moved Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus in a Bar Fight to next week’s Smackdown television show. Ziggler will wait until Sunday to select the stipulation of the WWE Championship match. WWE is billing the event with “The Horror Show” slogan. Join me for live coverage of Extreme Rules on Sunday beginning with the Kickoff Show at 5CT/6ET. The main card begins at 6CT/7ET. Dot Net Members will hear an audio review co-hosted by Jake Barnett and I on Sunday night. ProWrestling.net Live will return on Monday at 3CT/4ET with Will Pruett and I taking your calls at PWAudio.net.
Imagine this card if WWE booking hadn’t been horrendous for most of the last 5 years.
