#4 Brock Lesnar interferes in the Universal Championship match at WWE Extreme Rules

Extreme Rules 2021 would see Roman Reigns defend his Universal title against "The Demon" Finn Balor. As exciting as this match-up is, a clean finish would hurt one of the stars. It's highly unlikely that Reigns will drop his title this Sunday, but The Demon losing clean might lead to some major fan backlash. Remember, he is undefeated on the main roster.

Instead of a clean finish, we might see Brock Lesnar interfere in the Universal Championship match at Extreme Rules. It has already been announced that Lesnar will face Reigns at the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view. His interference might lead to that match becoming a triple-threat, also involving Balor.

This would ensure WWE can extend the feud between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar to multiple pay-per-views, rather than just wrapping up with a singles match at Crown Jewel.


#3 Keith Lee returns as a monster heel at WWE Extreme Rules

Extreme Rules 2021 could see the return of former NXT Champion Keith Lee to WWE TV. Lee hasn't appeared on RAW for over a month now but continues to wrestle dark matches before shows.

Recent reports suggest that Vince McMahon is planning to change his character up and make him a monster heel. Following these reports, he was seen bringing back his old bearded look and was also addressed as Keith "Bearcat" Lee in his dark match earlier this week.

We might see Lee return at the event this Sunday, destroy United States Champion Damian Priest and begin a feud with him. His stay on the main roster so far hasn't been great but that could change soon.
