JM's World: WWE Extreme Rules Preview

Hello World,

Welcome to my Preview of the WWE extreme rules PPV this Sunday 1^st May. I will run through the matches and give my predictions on what I think may happen. As this is Extreme Rules, all matches will have no disqualifications. So far there are 6 matches announced plus another one rumoured (Sheamus Vs Kofi Kingston – US Title) however, I’ll just preview the confirmed matches. Let’s get straight to it.

Rey Mysterio Vs Cody Rhodes (Falls Count Anywhere Match)

I expect this match to open the show. These two have had some decent matches so far and like Wrestlemania, they have the potential to steal the show, I doubt they will get the time though. I think this feud ends tonight as Rey will now be on Raw and I think Cody is in line for a main event push, perhaps feuding with Randy Orton. I pick Cody to win here it makes more sense that way, he is on the way up and it doesn’t hurt Rey to lose this Feud. My Pick Cody Rhodes.

Michelle McTaker Vs Layla (No DQ, No Countout, Loser Leaves WWE Match)

Again it’s a Diva’s match not featuring any of the top talent the WWE have at their disposal, I’d love to see a Beth/Natalya feud, Wake up Writers! This feud has had quite a quick build and if rumours are true, Michelle McCool is leaving the WWE. Therefore I can only predict one winner here. Layla wins and the rest of the diva’s come out to wave off McTaker. Not sure what the future holds for Layla, she isn’t the best technically (getting better though), however is Smoking Hot (The best looking Diva in my opinion), she should be ok. My Pick Layla.

Jerry Lawler & Jim Ross Vs Michael Cole & Jack Swagger (Country Whippin Match)

I am very bored of this feud; I’m hoping it ends here. Vince probably believes this feud is gold. I’ll give Cole his due, he has garnered a lot of heat during this run. I predict that this will be a quick match (JR has in injured hand) with Swagger and Lawler doing most of the work. I think Swagger Turns face here (well that’s how Id book it). He turns on Cole, allowing Lawler and JR to put the beat down with the whips on Cole. I think Cole will stay as heel but will tone it down a few notches. It would also be nice if he stuck to Smackdown and they got JR back on Raw permanently (I can hope can’t I). My Pick Lawler & Ross.

Randy Orton Vs CM Punk (Last Man Standing Match)

This is another match that has show-stealing potential and is another one where the feud finishes tonight. I think Randy will go on to Feud with Cody Rhodes, where as Punk and the Nexus goes after The Miz and the Title. I imagine they will get decent time and lots of 8 & 9 counts. I actually think Punk wins here and the finish will have Punk keeping Orton down for the Ten by tying him down or something silly like that. I have enjoyed this feud, however I think it could have been better. My Pick CM Punk.

Christian Vs Alberto Del Rio (Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship)

I am looking forward to this match more than any other, it could be a classic. They are fighting over the title vacated after Edge retired. Christian is a veteran of the ladder match and I’m hoping for him to pull out all the stops. Del Rio is a good worker too but I’m going for a Christian win. It makes sense as Del Rio is now on Raw, that doesn’t stop the WWE finding some way to have both titles on one show for a while though. I think after many near attempts at grabbing the belt, he finally does it and maybe Edge comes out to raise his hand. Nobody deserves to be a world champ more than Christian in my opinion. I hate to say it but I see Christian/Mark Henry feud on the horizon however! My Pick Christian.

John Cena Vs John Morrison Vs The Miz (champ) (Triple Threat Steal Cage Match for the WWE Championship)

This has the potential to be a good match; I think it would be a better match if there was only one way to win. I’d have it that you had to escape the cage and not by using the door. I think Miz wins here by pinning John Morrison after R truth somehow gets his self involved and attacks Morrison. I imagine they will have him pin Morrison just as Cena is escaping the cage. Can’t have Cena lose clean (god forbid!). I think Cena will Feud with Alberto del Rio, Miz with Punk and Morrison continues with R Truth going forward. My Pick The Miz

I am looking forward to this PPV, mainly because I think we get to see Christian crowned World Champion. I think a lot of feuds end tonight either because they have dragged on too long or because of the draft. Well that’s at least what I’m hoping for! Also a Chris Jericho return would go down well, I’d be surprised if that happens so soon after DWTS though.

I’ll be back on Monday or Tuesday with my review of the PPV and Tuesday or Wednesday for Raw is Johnmeode. Enjoy your Weekend people.
