Extreme Rules is just a few short hours away and in a surprising turn of events for WWE not one of the scheduled matches have an Extreme Rules element to them. That being said the men and women of WWE are still set to put their bodies on the line for personal grudges and championship gold.
Both Becky Lynch and her former best friend Charlotte Flair are set to put their titles on the line against their respective opponents Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss, with Liv Morgan looking to get the last laugh against ongoing rival Carmella. Who will have the last laugh in a night that promises to be Extreme from start to finish? It’s time for our WWE Extreme Rules PPV Predictions:
Liv Morgan Vs Carmella
Elle: Could this finally be the start of a true levelling up for Liv Morgan? In the past Liv has seemingly been on the rise in WWE to only fall short or disappear for weeks on end. If not now, when does the momentum start to rise for Liv? Carmella and Zelina have been getting one up on Liv for weeks now so surely Extreme Rules will draw a close to the feud with Liv getting the last laugh? Prediction: Liv Morgan
Adam (TheInsanityInc): We’ve been let down by WWE before when it comes to Morgan when the WWE dropped her push after Money in the Bank. Having Morgan losing to Vega was an interesting curveball, but I think we’ll see the bounce back here. Perhaps setting Morgan up as the next challenger for the blue brand’s title? Prediction: Liv Morgan
Smackdown Women’s Championship: Becky Lynch Vs Bianca Belair
Elle: Ever since Becky returned to WWE she has been absolutely killing it with her tongue in cheek promos and I just can’t get enough of her new attitude. I think we’re all in agreement that whilst SummerSlam was somewhat cool, the 27 second match was a complete sham and totally undone all the previous hard work Bianca and the rest of the women’s division had been accomplishing months prior. With all that in mind Becky and Bianca need to really pull it out of the bag to make up for that match and when all is said and done I whole heartedly expect ‘The Man’ to stand tall over the E.S.T! Prediction: Becky Lynch
Adam: After the shambles of SummerSlam and the barely half a minute ‘match’ we’re going to finally see if The Man is back at her best in a proper contest. Unless the WWE robs us again and Hell, we know they will go to the match itself before announcing a change in the card. If we get a proper bout, then I think sadly for Belair her great run will come to a sudden halt with a loss here. But perhaps she’ll find a new home to thrive on after the upcoming WWE draft? Prediction: Becky Lynch
Raw Women’s Championship: Charlotte Flair Vs Alexa Bliss
Elle: I have to say I’ve enjoyed this feud far more than I originally anticipated and both women have been killing it in recent weeks with their promos. Whilst I really don’t want this to be another short title reign for Flair I can’t help but yearn for a title run for Bliss sooner rather than later. Fans are still somewhat hot on Alexa and I would much rather they bite the bullet and give Bliss the belt before fans start to sour to the unique gimmick and concept like they have with other superstars in the past. Whilst Bliss may not need the belt, give her another toy for her playground giving her even more ideas to play off. Prediction: Alexa Bliss
Adam: I suppose this one comes down to whether we’ll get a proper match or one with supernatural shenanigans involving Lily and who knows what else. Along with if the WWE wants their golden girl Flair to keep a title. I think that Bliss is deserving of a title run after so long being out of the picture, let alone making her character so fun and entertaining. But we all know that often more than not, the Superstars most deserving of gold don’t always get what they should. Whether or not the WWE wants this feud to continue after the PPV may decide the outcome. Prediction: Alexa Bliss
