He was also at ringside for Shinsuke's match with Kofi on the April 23rd episode of smackdown. Ok...? That was two months ago. We haven't seen him since and he hasn't been used on live events in a month. Including his tweet, seems odd to me. Yep him and Shinsuke haven't been used on TV since then.

I wonder if Shinsuke will be involved or if he's just one of those "Dunno why he was part of the promotion, but here ya go!" type things. Naomi too. Who?

Why can't they just do actual couple vs actual couple if they are really going to go the mixed tag route?

Are they seriously using a Greta Van Fleet song for the theme? Because if so, f***ing hell, they may as well use something by Papa Roach. Greta Van Fleet SUCKS.

Is it just now a yearly thing for Extreme Rules to have a Brother of Destruction in a random tag match (Kane teaming with Bryan last year, Undertaker this year teaming up with Roman)?

It's impressive how two matches in this show already looks absolutely dire.
Kofi / Joe will probably be alright (love Kofi and all but REALLY hope Joe wins, mostly because he beats all of the possible alternative options Kofi could lose it to) but other than that... Yeah, I'm having a hard time seeing this PPV being worth seeing. Probably a random tag title match or two, guess the Extreme Rules match will be Braun / Lashley, this Alexa and Nikki thing'll probably lead to something further with Bayley, guess Styles can nap his way through another match with Ricochet... Yeah, this isn't looking great.

The only plus I can see of the 2 matches that have been booked so far is that they've turned 4 dogshit rematches into 2 dogshit tag matches.
Kofi/Joe, Ricochet/AJ & Usos/Revival however have me much more interested in this PPV than the last one. Those are 3 potentially legit amazing matches. Add in a blowoff to Finn/Andrade for the IC title (or are they done?) and a Cruiserweight title match and you've got a great looking card, despite those 2 tag matches announced on Raw.

Unless they do a triple threat, I think Andrade's done with Finn and feuding with Apollo now. But yeah, Kofi vs. Joe sounds great and Usos vs. Revival will be bonkers if they make it an extreme rules match. Add something like Finn vs. Nakamura and Bayley vs. Nikki Cross and those matches just about make up for the lame main event and the f***ing Undertaker wrestling again.

That mixed tag is some of the worst shit. Just awful.
I like Kofi but I would be totally cool with Joe winning the title.

Kofi Kingston vs. Samoa Joe for the WWE Title is official for Extreme Rules. I've enjoyed Kofi's reign and I'm cool with it going even longer, but I'd also be happy with Joe winning and being booked like a badass monster. So Brock's obviously going to cash in and win it.

Here's something bugging the hell out of me with this mixed tag match - what possible purpose does this serve when there is absolutely zero chance the titles are changing hands? They're not giving two people their first run with the top titles at the same time when one of them wouldn't actually be winning the belt, especially not a random throw together pair up against the couple they're desperately trying to get shippers to latch onto.
It's just pointless. It's two people who've already failed time and time again who are just going to fail yet again. Why are we wasting our time on this?

Alright, so we got:
Kofi vs. Joe Corbin/Lacey vs Seth/Becky Taker/Roman vs. Shandrew Bayley vs. Alexa Gulak vs. Nese confirmed
And most, if not all, of these matches likely to happen: AJ/Ricochet Finn/Nakamura Usos/Revival New Day/Bryan & Rowan Black/Whoever knocked on his door
Though I suspect one of these matches won't happen in lieu of some Lashley/Strowman bullshit.

Rumor I've seen is Black / Cesaro. Because WILDCARD I guess.

Especially Evans, who has somehow stayed #1 Contender with an incredible 3-8-0 TV win/loss record for the year. Dana Brooke has won more matches this year, for f***s sake.

I'm starting to think Vince genuinely forgot the difference between house and tv shows. On house show circuits you can have the same two guys face each other a hundred times and no one will know. You cant do the same on tv and yet they do.

If anyone can pull a decent match out of Nakamura in WWE, it's Devy-chan. I hope, however, that Finn retains and gets a chance to build up the title before he drops it, hopefully some time after Summerslam.
The card, for the dogshit advertised at the top, otherwise seems solid and _should_ be entertaining. Look for more 24/7 shenanigans to boost the less entertaining moments.
