#6. The New Day (c) vs Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura - Tables match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship

An epic clash awaits

This could be the match that steals the show. Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura have had The New Day's number and have only been finding success against them.

On the SmackDown before Extreme Rules, Cesaro defeated Big E to earn the right to choose a stipulation for the Tag Team title match. He won and the duo opted for a Tables match at Extreme Rules.

It could be the only title change of the night, but the story of Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura having The New Day's number could conclude at Extreme Rules.


#5. Bayley (c) vs Nikki Cross - SmackDown Women's Championship

We're more than 280 days into Bayley's second SmackDown Women's Championship reign and had it not been for the five-day hiccup between the two reigns, she would have been well over 420 days into her first reign.

Either way, she's been the most dominant female Superstar in SmackDown history and her reign will be looked back on as perhaps the most significant Women's title reign in the four years since the title was introduced.

She faces Nikki Cross in an interesting match-up and while Alexa Bliss might be at ringside, we don't expect Bayley's title reign to end just yet.
