5 things we wanted from WWE this week and what they delivered: 23rd May 2017

#1 What we wanted: Building the hype for Extreme Rules; What we got: The perfect hype building for Extreme Rules

Unexpected and awesome

Monday Night Raw expertly handled building the hype up for Extreme Rules. The banter between all the five men in the fatal five-way was great but what really built up the PPV’s main event was Paul Heyman making a surprise appearance to hype up Finn Balor.

He talked a great game and single-handedly put Finn over as a genuine threat to Brock Lesnar’s reign as Universal Champion.

The other great thing was the main event pitting the team of Samoa Joe and Bray Wyatt against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. The match played out perfectly as it underlined the “Every man for himself” feel of the fatal five-way.

Great stuff all around.
