Only looking forward to the triple threat match and it should be pretty good.

I have the feeling the Last Man Standing thing is to let Ryback win on a fluke. Like, my guess is both guys get jumped by the Shield, Ryback gets back to his feet, but Cena fails to due to his ankle.

I just realized, there's pretty much going to be no midcard matches at Extreme Rules.

What mid card matches would you guys want to see?

What mid card matches would you guys want to see? Well, it's too late to start building a feud for them now, but like have been brought up by numerous people, I'd like to see Big E take the US title. If Ambrose and Rollins are going to be tag champs, maybe there'd be a plausible feud to give Reigns the IC title?

I think it would be cool for the WWE to do another Angle RR 2000 kind of thing, where they have a midcarder go undefeated for a while, and issue an open challenge to anybody in the back at a PPV, only for a new NXT guy to debut and beat him.

That worked so well because Taz was already a big name, and they were in a smark hotbed. Unless they do it in Philly with someone like Kassius Ohno, I doubt it would work.

The superstar doesn't need to get some huge reaction for it to work. It'd just be a good way to give him a memerable introduction to the audience, and give him a bit of credibility right off the bat. It's a hell of a lot better than just having a NXT guy just show up on Raw or Smackdown and squash jobbers for weeks until the WWE figures out what to do with him.

I have an extra ticket due to some circumstances now. Either I sell them both, or I do give one to someone or something. I dunno, I just know I have an extra ticket.

Or both men fail to make the count, extending the feud another month. As lame as that finish is I see it happening.

It could work if they brought back Bo Dallas to swipe the IC title from Barrett.

Henry vs Sheamus in a Strap Match is confirmed.

Henry vs Sheamus in a Strap Match is confirmed. It's a good choice for plenty of reasons: It's a gimmick match that isn't used very often, the fact that you win by touching the four ringposts means neither guy is going to be pinned/submitted and they'll both come out protected (which they should, since they're big monsters), and most important of all, Sheamus' skin is REALLY going to make those welts stand out.

Hopefully it's better than the last strap match that happen at extreme rules, the legendary JTG vs Shad match.

There's a good variety with the matches this year. Each one should have a pretty unique feel to it.

This card has zero of the buzz last year's had. Brock isn't special anymore, Ryback has looked terrible going into his match with Cena, Orton/Show and Sheamus/Henry lack intrigue, no red-hot Daniel Bryan in a big match. Though I do expect him to fight The Shiled in some fashion.

I wonder what stipulation will be in place for The Shield vs Team Hell No for the Tag Titles. I think it will be a 3 on 2 Elimination Tables Match...that's my prediction and I'm sticking to it.
