This weekend, WWE will be presenting its 2019 Extreme Rules PPV, and the event will be headlined by Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins teaming up to face Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans. Both the WWE Universal Title and the Raw Women's Title will be on the line in the match, meaning fans could see two new WWE Champions crowned in the same bout.
In addition to the main event match, Kofi Kingston will be defending his WWE Championship against Samoa Joe in a bout which currently does not carry a stipulation.
Paul Heyman has promised that Mr. Money in the Bank, Brock Lesnar, may or may not decide to cash-in his briefcase at this Sunday night's Extreme Rules PPV, meaning it's very possible The Beast could be making an appearance.
Should Lesnar indeed get involved in the Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch match this Sunday night, let's take a look at 5 reasons why Becky Lynch needs to take an F5 at Extreme Rules.
#5 It's a total Paul Heyman move
This year's Extreme Rules will be the first PPV under new WWE Raw Executive Director Paul Heyman.
With Heyman making an impact on Raw in recent weeks booking Braun Strowman to put Bobby Lashley through the entrance set, and pushing fresh faces such as The Street Profits and Ricochet, Heyman has the opportunity to do something very bold this Sunday night.
Should Brock Lesnar attempt to cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase this Sunday night, it's almost certain that Becky Lynch will try her best to protect "The Man's Man," which could land Lynch on the receiving end of an F5.
What better way for Paul Heyman to follow-up on the huge statement he made on Raw with Lashley and Strowman, than to have his client, The Beast, take out The Man, Becky Lynch.
#4 It will officially bury WWE PG TV
With Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff being hired as the new Executive Directors of Raw and Smackdown Live, respectively, reports are indicating Vince McMahon has wisened up in recent weeks and is admitting WWE needs to move in a new, edgier direction.
Reports are also suggesting WWE might be looking to move away from its TV-PG model in order to regain the teenage demographic which has checked out of WWE in recent years.
To cap off this Sunday night's Extreme Rules PPV with Brock Lesnar hitting the F5 on Becky Lynch would send a clear message to fans that the WWE PG era is fully in the company's rear-view mirror, and the product is moving towards a much edgier tone. Additionally, the spot could be a manageable line for WWE to walk, as it wouldn't necessarily suggest intergender wrestling is on the horizon but would add the "anything can happen" factor to WWE that has been missing for quite some time.
#3 It would be a great answer to Slammiversary
Impact Wrestling turned a tremendous amount of heads this week when the company booked, for the first time ever, an intergender main event match at a PPV.
At this past Sunday night's Slammiversary PPV, Tessa Blanchard faced Sami Callihan in a singles match, and Callihan emerged victoriously. Despite Callihan's victory, a major show of respect took place after the bout as he extended a bat to Blanchard, acknowledging the history the two made at the PPV.
A great way for WWE to answer the big stride taken by Impact this week would be to have Brock Lesnar get physical with The Man, Becky Lynch. Should Lesnar hit the F5 on Lynch during the main event match at Extreme Rules, it would send the message that WWE is embracing all forms of entertainment, including having top male and female stars mixing it up in the ring.
#2 Becky Lynch's response would be epic
If there's one WWE star who could emerge hotter than ever after being hit with an F5 from Brock Lesnar, it's Becky Lynch.
The self-proclaimed Man in WWE is on her way to becoming the female version of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Austin was notorious for never backing away from a challenge by any opponent.
The above is not to suggest that Becky Lynch would ever have an actual match against Brock Lesnar, but her response on social media to being hit with an F5 could plant the seeds for epic retaliation from The Man.
Should Lesnar hit Lynch with his finisher, it would certainly fire up Seth Rollins to defend the honour of the WWE Raw Women's Champion. If the F5 spot at Extreme Rules eventually leads to a match between Rollins and Lesnar, watching Becky Lynch apply The Disarmher to a downed Brock Lesnar could draw a mega response from the live crowd.
#1 It would be the definition of EXTREME
The WWE Extreme Rules PPV was birthed out of the Extreme Rules match concept, which of course was used during the days of the WWE ECW brand.
When the ECW brand officially ended in WWE, the Extreme Rules match lived on and was utilized on Raw and Smackdown Live, before becoming its own PPV event.
Despite the Extreme Rules PPV event carrying an ECW-esque moniker, many fans have felt the show to be less than extreme in recent years, and WWE has the chance to change that this Sunday night.
In addition to booking several hardcore style matches for the PPV this Sunday night, should the PPV end with Brock Lesnar hitting a devastating F5 on Becky Lynch, the PPV would earn the word "Extreme" in its name.
