#5 Roman Reigns wins clean

Is it time for The Big Dog to claim his yard?

When Roman Reigns says that WWE is his yard, his promo signifies a certain truth. It refers to the fact that he is the top guy in the company and will be the featured attraction, whether fans accept him or not. How often have we seen him take a pin over the past few years? How often have we seen him lose on pay-per-view?

I think it is extremely possible that Roman Reigns lays Bobby Lashley out and picks up the big win. This would take him back into the Universal Championship picture and set the stage for him to become a full-time champion. I think a title change at SummerSlam is quite imminent in light of certain events at UFC.

Will fans revolt and leave the building if Roman Reigns stands tall again? I have a feeling that they quite possibly could!

#4 Dean Ambrose costs Roman Reigns the big match

Could we see a heel turn from Dean Ambrose?

Fans have been waiting months for their beloved Lunatic Fringe to return from injury. However, maybe the Ambrose that returns is not the one that fans have waited so long to see! Maybe the Ambrose that returns is a darker version of the character we love dearly. It would certainly put an interesting spin on things.

Here's what could potentially transpire at Extreme Rules, this weekend. Just when Roman Reigns is on the verge of picking up a big win, Dean Ambrose's familiar music hits, sending the crowd into an absolute frenzy. And then Lashley uses that distraction to pick up the big win.

This could potentially put Lashley in the Universal Championship picture to go one on one with The Beast. It could give us the dream match of a babyface Roman Reigns against a heel Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam.

#3 Drew McIntyre costs Roman Reigns the big match

Is this man gunning for the Universal Championship too?

Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins on RAW this week. This is not a usual occurrence unless the company is really invested in you. We've seen some interesting face-offs between Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns in the past. Could we see McIntyre enter the Universal Championship picture at Extreme Rules, with a big interference?

If McIntyre has to cost either of the two men the big match, I think he would pick Reigns. Reigns vs. McIntyre seems like a big program over the coming months. Not only will it be a fresh new feud for Reigns, it will elevate McIntyre to the very next level.

#2 Double disqualification

Could both men get counted out or disqualified during this match?

Maybe neither of these two men gets a shot at the Universal Championship. Maybe both of these men get a shot at the Universal Championship. Whatever the case may be, there's a big possibility that this match ends with neither man scoring a win. Let me outline a few possible scenarios for you.

Maybe Brock Lesnar interferes and takes out both men. Maybe both men use foreign objects or get counted out. Ultimately, when all is said and done, neither man manages to defeat the other!

This could potentially lead to a big triple threat match at SummerSlam this year. On the other hand, it could also see someone new like Drew McIntyre potentially becoming the next challenger.

#1 Bobby Lashley wins clean

It is

time for Lashley to shine?

Fans have wanted a match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar for a long time now. It is clear that Lesnar's time in WWE is quite limited. It is also clear that the winner of the Reigns vs. Lashley match will potentially be The Beast's next opponent. And this brings us to the match at hand.

If Lashley were to win, chances are the crowd will not revolt at the outcome of the said show. If he wins, we could get a potentially new Universal Championship feud. It would also create a new superstar capable of pinning Reigns clean.

As I said before, feel free to let me know how this match could potentially play out. I'm quite curious to know what you guys think!
