NikoBaltimore Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm going to this and am praying to the Seven Dieties that this isn't as bad as Backlash. The Fatal Five Way should be good, hoping for Finn but it'll likely be Seth. Ideally if all was sorted out I'd have Hardys lose so they can finally Broken, but they'll likely retain because they won't have it sorted out by then. I'd have Miz win because damnit he should, and there's a decent chance that might happen. As much as I want Bayley to win Alexa needs to have that long reign because she's tremendous. My only hope is that Bayley gets "extreme" so people can see she's more than hugs and bubbles. And I'm going with Neville winning, as much as I like Austin Neville's got a damn good reign going on. But really, all I'm asking for is that it's not as Backlash. It's a low bar to go over but I'm feeling fairly confident they'll accomplish that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm guessing the four non-winners of the main event wind up paired off into individual programs. Last night's tag match kind of hinted at that along with the Balor/Heyman segment. As much as I'd like to see Joe/Brock, Finn seems the much more likely winner. Cage match could be fun. The Hardys have been good since coming back and I'm wondering if Cesamus finally win and end up "breaking" Matt in the process. Something tells me the IC title match will end with the Chikara type spot of Miz punching himself in the balls when the ref's back is turned and winning by DQ. If the CW match gets enough time it's got potential to be the match of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Y'all are super-optimistic that it's not gonna be Roman, but it's gonna be Roman. Heyman thing aside, they've been teasing a Bray/Balor feud that they haven't started yet, and Joe/Rollins ended on a roll-up, so that's not done. On the plus side, beating four guys who are all more popular than him should make Roman look really strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyman showing up during Balor's promo on RAW hints that it'll be Balor, unless they're trying to pull a big swerve and make it Rollins. Which would kill Rollins's heat even more.

Yeah, Joe is so popular they shutdown his empty autograph line at WM early so the space could be used to contain the overflow of people that wanted Roman's autograph.

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Joe is the poster child of the JAGs right now. He is literally just there, especially since HHH and Stephanie are MIA. The only popular thing about Bray these days is his entrance. Rollins is on shaky ground. Balor has an argument, but they also bounced a beach ball around the arena during his comeback match.

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 the main event should be great, I'm not sold on anything else. Please give us 10-12 minutes of Sasha and Alicia, even if it's the preshow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Extreme Rules will be as bad as Backlash, Extreme Rules tends to be one of the better PPV events. Least you'll get to see Finn Balor this time round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm concerned Bayley does not know what she is in for. That she is using Tommy Dreamer as her role model in a Kendo Stick match is a bad sign. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstout Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Since we're talking canes, I wanna see Bayley go full-on Sandman. She's getting ready to crack Alexa when suddenly Izzy stands in front of Alexa. Then Izzy calls Bayley a drunk and says she worships Alexa now. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Bayley accidently nails Bliss in the eye with the cane Bliss says she is blind the refs check on her Bayley is in tears goes over to apologize to Bliss she rolls her up for the cheap win. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Now I am going to be pissed that Alexa Bliss won't be walking everywhere with a cane in one hand, and beers to chug hidden in her wardrobe. So like 1 beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 The DVDVR has some of the best creative minds, even if it is just re-doing Raven/Dreamer/Sandman with Alexa and Bayley. Alexa needs someone to be her Stevie Richards. I guess Blake or Murphy, whichever one she's engaged to would work. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can bring along his buddies Meanie (JBL's not on RAW, right?) and Nova (to teach everyone all the moves he invented), and join up with Gallows and Anderson, to form....yes... The bWollet Club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looking at the card, there's going to be two extended promo/video packages we will have to sit through, as the Cage Match is not going to be the Main Event... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the matches announced this instantly became the one we're looking forward to the most. I don't blame anyone if some feel Sasha's "demoted" by doing this. But her and Swann were great together last night and I'm all in on them doing a mixed tag with Dar/Alicia. But if Swann loses in his hometown then I won't be mad, just disappointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
