5 Shocking things which can happen at Extreme Rules

We are less than a week away from the night when WWE goes to extreme limits, Extreme Rules. Seven championships will be defended on the upcoming PPV. Not to mention, the latest added Steel Cage match between Braun Strowman and Kevin Owens will be a treat to watch.

Ronda Rousey mentioned in an exclusive interview with Renee Young that she will be in the front row during the match between Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax for the Raw Women’s Championship. Never before in the WWE, a front row ticket was used just for watching the match. The wrestling fans around the planet would expect Ronda Rousey to honour this tradition.

Last week on Raw, Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley got engaged in a physical confrontation. It took almost the entire roster of Monday Night Raw to separate these two men. Undoubtedly, this match could turn out to be the most intense match of the night.

With so many interesting matches on the card, few surprises are bound to make their way to treat the WWE Universe. Here are the top five on the list.

#1 A fall from top of the cage

Owens took a devastating fall at the Money in the Bank PPV.

For the last couple of weeks, Braun Strowman has made it a point to punish Kevin Owens. He threw the “Prize Fighter” from the top of the ladder at Money in the Bank match, the match which he also went on to win. Last week, he again threw him off the stage which could have caused severe injury to the victim.

As predicted along with its stipulation, the Raw General Manager not only made the match between these two Superstars but also stipulated it to take place in a Steel Cage.

Although there are a couple of possible storylines for Strowman and Owens, in the light of the recent past it looks very likely that Mr. Owens could be taking another huge fall. This time it could be from the top of the cage.

With the “Monster Among Men” guarding the ground of the Steel Cage, Kevin Owens might be willing to take the aerial route. However, the quickness of Mr. MITB is no secret and it could prove fatal for his opponent.

#2 Ronda Rousey unintentionally causes Alexa Bliss to retain

Ronda almost made Nia submit at MITB. Could these two collide again at Extreme Rules?

Ronda Rousey is in a terrifying mindset since she lost the championship opportunity at Money in the Bank PPV thanks to Alexa Bliss. Her anger got the better of her next week on Raw, and she ended up with a 30-day suspension.

It is safe to assume that the “Rowdy One” is going to get involved in the Raw Women’s Championship match. Given the match is an Extreme Rules match, she could go at lengths to seek her revenge on the “Goddess”.

However, she might end up competing with Nia Jax to get her hands on the reigning Women’s Champion. This can cause a distraction which can favour the champion to retain the championship.

#3 Jinder Mahal interferes

Mahal has been taking quite a different role in the recent weeks.

Over the last one year, Jinder Mahal has been a significant part of WWE PPVs. Surprisingly, he isn’t competing at Extreme Rules. However, this doesn’t rule out the possibility of him interfering in other matches.

For the last couple of weeks, Jinder Mahal has been a peace-preacher in the Raw locker room. However, being one of the top heels on the WWE roster today, he surely knows when to strike.

It is possible that the “Modern Day Maharaja” interferes in Finn Balor’s match against Baron Corbin. The Canadian-Indian Superstar is not on good terms with the Raw General Manager, and helping the “Constable of Raw” can provide him a solid support from the authority.

#4 Team Hell No gets defeated

Would they get the job done?

Team Hell No was reunited recently when Kane made his return to SmackDown Live. General Manager Paige didn’t let the moment slip through her fingers and gave them the opportunity for the tag-team championships.

However, the next PPV after Extreme Rules (SummerSlam) is one of the Big-4 PPVs for WWE. It would make more sense to have Daniel Bryan compete in a singles match at SummerSlam.

If WWE think-tank has those plans in their minds, Team Hell No’s match at Extreme Rules could just be a way to keep the leader of the “YES” movement out of the mix until SummerSlam. Let us know what you think about this in the comments section below.

#5 Dean Ambrose Returns

Dean Ambrose could save the day for Seth Rollins.

Seth Rollins is certainly at a disadvantage in the 30-minute Iron Man match for the Intercontinental Championship. His loss against Drew McIntyre in the main event last week on Raw guaranteed that Scottish Superstar would indeed be present at the ringside during the championship match at Extreme Rules.

The only way for the “Architect” to even the landscape for his match would be to have a backup of his own. Who else would be a better person to look for support other than his Shield-brother, Dean Ambrose.

The “Lunatic Fringe” was shelved before WrestleMania 34 due to a vicious attack by Samoa Joe. Since then, the WWE Universe is eagerly waiting for his return. Could Extreme Rules be the much anticipated night for the fans?
