3 huge matches WWE could be planning for Extreme Rules 2019

Even though WWE faced huge criticism over the recycled bookings of Stomping Grounds, the show exceeded expectations of both critics as well as fans alike. While the show was action-packed, WWE handing over a few major wins to fan favourites like Seth Rollins, Bayley and Ricochet was another talking point of the show.

With Stomping Grounds done and dusted, WWE has started building for their next pay-per-view – Extreme Rules. WWE has started building and hyping up the event in full flow.

WWE has already announced two blockbuster matches for the event. While Seth Rollins will team up with Becky Lynch to face the duo of Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin in a mixed tag team match, Roman Reigns will team up with The Undertaker to face Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon in a tag team matchup on July 14.

However, expect it to be the mere start of things as Vince McMahon would be looking to book an impeccable match card for Extreme Rules, given the low viewership and increasing competition.

So, without further ado, in this article, we take a look at 3 huge matches WWE could be planning for Extreme Rules.

#3 The Miz vs Bray Wyatt

It looks to be on the cards.

Bray Wyatt and his firefly fun house segments have been the talk of the town for the past month or so. However, speculation of a potential return of The Eater of Worlds to the WWE ring sooner than later has been making rounds all over the Internet for the last week and given how things unfolded last night on Raw, it does not seem too far.

Yes, Bray Wyatt's Witch, Abby was seen stalking The Miz during a backstage segment this week on Raw. Thus, a potential feud between the former leader of the Wyatt family and the A-lister leading to a classic match at Extreme Rules could be on the cards.

#2 Kofi Kingston vs Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship

Samoa Joe attacked Kofi this week on Raw

After losing his US title at the hands of Ricochet at Stomping Grounds, Samoa Joe returned last night on Raw to lay waste to Kofi Kingston.

Yes, Joe viciously attacked Kofi Kingston after the latter's win against Kevin Owens last night on Raw. Thus, a potential feud leading to a WWE Championship match on July 14 seems the likeliest scenario.

While speculations of a potential feud between Randy Orton and Kofi Kingston were making rounds ever since Super Showdown, it seems WWE has some other plans as of now. However, expect the feud between Joe and Kofi to be short-lived as WWE might be saving Randy Orton vs Kofi Kingston for Summerslam 2019.

A feud featuring Samoa Joe and Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship promises to be an entertaining one. Kofi's high flying moves and agility against Samoa Joe's intensity could prove to be a real treat for the fans.

#1 Ricochet vs AJ Styles for the US title

It would be a huge matchup.

After defeating Samoa Joe to win the US title at Stomping Grounds, Ricochet was confronted by AJ Styles backstage during a photoshoot. Moments later, WWE confirmed a classic match between the two for the following episode of Raw. However, Ricochet came up short against the former WWE champion in the main event last night.

While Styles showed sportsman spirit by raising Ricochet's arm for his commendable performance in the match, this is not over yet.

Given Styles picked up a huge non-title win last night, he is bound to get another shot at Ricochet, however, this time for his US title. Thus, WWE could book a classic matchup between the duo for the US title at Extreme Rules.

Furthermore, a heel turn for AJ Styles could also be on the cards in the upcoming weeks.
