WWE takes over the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Sunday night and boast seven Championship matches. Once again Brock Lesnar isn't expected to be part of the show since he recently made his return to UFC.
Despite the fact that the Universal Championship isn't on the line at the one pay-per-view of the year where WWE goes extreme, there are other matches on the card instead that will be able to take its place.
Despite this being the most extreme pay-per-view of the year that usually boasts some of the best gimmick matches, there aren't many matches on the card that have stipulations this year which could be why Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns are set to main event the show in the first-ever Extreme Rules main event that doesn't have a stipulation.
#5 Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler will steal the show
Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler collide in a 30-minute Iron-man match for the Intercontinental Championship this weekend and looking at the card it is obvious that this will be the one to steal the show.
Rollins has proved his in-ring ability and stamina over the past few months whilst Ziggler is widely considered to be one of the best wrestlers in WWE currently. With Drew McIntyre at ringside, there could be another element to this match on the night that could turn into McIntyre and Ziggler using the numbers game to their advantage.
Ziggler has been a show stealer throughout his career and since this is the first Iron-man match that has taken place at Extreme Rules, this could be one of the best that the event has ever seen.
#4 Braun Strowman's feat of strength
Braun Strowman steps into his first steel cage match in WWE since he defeated The Big Show last year and sent the giant through the side of the cage. Strowman is a monster and he has been pushed as one over the past few months with him tipping cars and even spearing Kevin Owens off the stage whilst he was inside a porta-potty on Raw.
Strowman is a former Strong Man competitor and WWE has always taken advantage of the fact that he is strong, so expect Owens to be thrown through the cage or for Strowman to break the cage apart on Sunday night to show off just how dominant he really is.
#3 Interference
There are a number of matches on Sunday night that interference would be expected to happen since disqualification has been taken away.
Alexa Bliss' match with Nia Jax is one of the matches that would most obviously include Ronda Rousey, who has already announced that she is at ringside as she continued to sit out her suspension from Raw.
James Ellsworth may be in a shark cage above the ring on Sunday night, but he will also find a way to interfere in Carmella's match, whilst another far-fetched theory could see Brock Lesnar make his first WWE appearance since April to attack Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns in their main event match.
#2 The WWE Universe will boo the main event
Bobby Lashley isn't the most popular star in WWE right now, which is why he's a strange choice for a feud with Roman Reigns, who was booed out of the building at WrestleMania when he faced Brock Lesnar in his fourth consecutive main event.
The WWE Universe has been very vocal about their feelings towards this match over the past few weeks, so expect fans to once again take over the event.
It has reached the point where WWE will be expecting it, but now that beach balls are banned, it is unknown how the crowd will find something to occupy themselves with whilst Lashley and Reigns fight in the main event.
#1 Title changes
Seven WWE Championships are on the line on Sunday night, which means that the odds are in the favor of the challengers this month.
The likelihood is that the United States Championship and the Raw Tag Team Championships will be the ones to change hands, since Jeff Hardy is struggling with injury and The B-Team could be the dark horses of the show.
The odds ahead of the show also suggest that Asuka could finally defeat Carmella for the SmackDown Women's Championship, whilst Team Hell No are expected to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in their first pay-per-view tag team match in more than four years.
Shinsuke Nakamura hasn't had the best year after failing a number of times to list the WWE Championship, but his drought could be over this weekend when he faces Jeff Hardy for the United States Championship and betting odds suggest that he could be victorious.
